  • hahaa, total failure!

  • lol, "Cats aren't very smart"

  • Cute <3

  • honestly i think that the cat is smarter than you

  • This must have been filmed here in Florida. Firstly because of the vegetation and secondly because of your craziness ;^)

  • I have had an Abby for 2 1/2 years now and I have to say, she is one of the most intelligent animals that's ever owned me. She always takes an intrest in what I am doing and wants to ba a part of the action. Happy holidays Doug!

  • Well after owning a cat I can say this saw it comin

  • You do realize that cat's will return if you just let them free roam?

    I don't get why people feel as if they must contain them or force them to stay indoor's, or in your case... In your yard.

  • @disarmedalarm The cats are much older now than when I did this video. Even Terra the flying kitty doesn't go anywhere any more. We live on the edge of wilderness. Packs of cayotes roam through the neighborhood from time to time and they eat kitties. When a sign is posted for a missing animal in this neighborhood it's never found.

  • @dmarks1 Well suppose that makes a lot more sense as to why you'd be trying to keep the cat in the yard.

  • @disarmedalarm Some towns have local laws against cats outside their owner's yard. It can be trapped and brought to a shelter for euthanasia or adoption once it steps off your property. Also, some people don't appreciate other people's pets coming into their yard to defecate and kill wildlife, as my cat does when she's outside quite frequently. It's a courtesy to your neighbors to keep your pets, no matter the species, on your own property.

  • @jigglethehandlestp1 I didn't know about these laws. I do agree with being courteous to your neighbors, we had a cat that we were able to teach to stay within a certain radius of the house and was only allowed out at certain times of the day. Then again the neighbors loved our cat, she always came home full because she'd be fed gourmet food by the neighbors. So yes, to an extent I understand. I just felt this video was on the extreme.

  • @disarmedalarm would you want to stay with this guy?

  • end caps for the pipes + stainless steel tubing(it's in the part of the hardware store where they sell engineering supplies and stuff for science projects) + nylon spacers that fit over the tubing + a bit of silicone spray for additional slip on the tubing, should = a spinning barrier that your kitty can't get good footing on. if that doesn't spin enough, fast rollerblade bearings should. gl, cats are smart, & can learn to not jump if there are consequences. :)

  • Buddy looks like a big boss

  • @723lion You've got that right. I'm Buddy's humble servant. About the only time I see Buddy is when he comes into the room, sits on a chair facing the door with his back to me. It's his way of saying "feed me bitch."

  • mate u kinda failed but luv da cats an the door scene

  • you sound like bob saget

  • I saw on Animal Planet a microchip that can be implanted in a cat that can be scanned to return your cats if they are lost. Those cats cannot be kept in the yard,and they will continue to climb out of the yard,no matter what you do!!!! I guess you can't outsmart "Tunabreath"!!!! Rock On!!!!

  • I was dying, waiting for you to chuck that cat over your shoulder into the pool...

  • LOL. Stupid humans. xD

  • the size of a whale is gigantic right? their brains are beyond bigger than ours... but still we're smarter... cats are smart creatures... btw nice idea to block the cat... very thoughtful on that...

  • Your cat has the same name at me! :D

  • By the way, i think the cat beat you...........

  • you would look 10000 times better with short hair

  • love the vid :) cat 1 human 0, your move...

  • Yup, cats brains are smaller than ours. But they are lot more concentrated so a bit of brain goes a loooong way. :)

  • nice cat, greetz from southern poland:]

  • Haha! Score one for the cats who by the way are so cute. Give one of them a scratch for me.

  • Guys that own cats..fail

  • That birch still got through! xD

  • ur so high as a kite, and get a freaking hair cut moron, i bet ur cat fucking hates u

  • HAHAHAHAHA i laughed so hard how, after all this guy's work, the cat makes it over the fence in the end! What an idiot, i knew the cat would get footing on the small area before the slope of the pipe reached the brick

  • dude i want a half kangaroo cat!

  • Lucky cats to have an owner who cares how happy they can be!

    Some idiots stick them in a room and almost forget they need stimulation.

    Dude, you're cute. But the - oh, you know what.

  • that looks ugly do somthing better

  • you say hes not THAT smart...i saw cats with huge heads that CANT OPEN DOORS.But you said small cats head are not that quick-witted.But review the video back again.I saw videos called "OMG MY SMART CAT OPEND A DOOR!!!!" and that (to me) proofs that your cat HAS to be smart. I know it because there are cats that can open doors,Those cats are RARE to have.

  • Hey doug its Hank.. I think the pvc is good but cats are natural climbes on almost any surface.. Have you heard of the cooking spray pam?? It repells water and is clear and very Slippery.. spray that on the pvc pipe and let me know how it works.. I think that kitty will have a reality shock when he slided on that.. other thing you can do is make a mote.. Cats hate water and if you put a long wide tray around it, it may deter him from crossing.. Good luck!!!!

  • Too funny - I've heard that cats can jump 7 times their height; how does that work into your calculations? Do what we did--get a large dog kennel with a roof, make a pass-through door through a window, and relax. Kitty is safe, and reasonably happy lying in the sunshine!

  • "everytime the cat outwits me...I feel like a complete tool."

  • Look its BEVIS & BUTTHEAD where is Bevis! Cats can CLIMB they have Claws you really and honestly think a Pipe is going to stop a Cat? LMAO they climb trees fences if they really wanted over that fence If a Cat is Scared they would be over that FENCE SO QUICK PC Pipe is not going to stop a Cat

  • behind the tree, I had to do double duty

  • Thumbs up if you thought by the picture of the guy and his cat that he was going to throw his cat into the pool saying his cat can fly

  • thumbs up if you thought by the picture of the guy and the pool behind that he was going to throw his cat into the pool

  • Cats are very smart my cat outsmarted a man befor WITH TRAPS

  • wanes world

  • LaMe!

  • Half cat and half kangaroo, someone please explain how in the fuck that went down??!?

  • @SiCmetalhead The cat fucked the kangaroo

  • Ur a scienist :OO , Anyway nice cats :D

    

  • This is right out of a cartoon! Great stuff!

  • i believe the only reason your cat made it over was because of that small ledge you left uncovered by pvc pipe. if you left the ledge on the outside uncovered it would let the cat back in if your fence failed, however if you covered the small ledge you left with one of your smaller pvc pipe pieces, i think it would complete the your kitty proof fence

  • get a haircut hippie!

  • @carsonandsteven Mom? Is that you?

  • @dmarks1 no lol i just had to say tht lol im sorry

  • Awesome cats

  • cats arent that smart HA thts what you think

  • cat's can jump 10 times their body length...

  • I hope I grow up like u someday

  • Yahh.. His HEAD might be smaller..

  • dave mustaine? GOD!!!!!!!!! xD

  • haha fail

    

  • stupid cat he will find away to keep that cat in the fence

  • i was speedkilled by michael angelo Batio and SOMEHOW i ended up here...ahh old time classic youtube suggestion....

  • You look like a guitarist from a glam rock band from the 80s :D

  • @ilackofcreativity You're very observant, thanks for that.

  • @dmarks1 ya man you look like dave mustaine, cat trap and pool will fix your cat problem

  • @dmarks1 Hahahaha that was funny and good video Greets :)

  • that was boring. i was expecting a flying cat. you did not deliver. watch cats riding vacuum cleaners.

  • FAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL­LLLLL AHAHHAHAHAHAHA

  • hahaha that was funny dude !! nice cats !!!

  • @erickson1412 Thanks. They think so.

  • @dmarks1 i like pie

  • Buddy looks like a savanah cat.

  • Stupid humans.

    TRUE

    Coming from a cat lover herself

  • @emlspawn. 'Mr' *fixed*.

  • Nope. "Sayin'" *fixed* thanks, though, mr. Elephant dick.

  • @emlspawn 'saying' *fixed*.

  • @ mrsister..."None" don't you mean "non"? I think the specification of 'tuna fish' is for those south of the border who call "pop" soda. Just sayin'.

  • @dmarks1. Don't thank me, thank INTERNET. Off to do some more work through INTERNET...

  • @MrSistermaryelephant Thanks INTERNET!

  • @dmarks1. 'Tuna Fish' sandwich? Why not just say 'Tuna Sandwich'? Do you really need to add the 'fish' part? Isn't Tuna a fish by default, or is there another kind of none fish tuna?

  • @MrSistermaryelephant Thanks for pointing that out Sistermaryelephant. Until you clarified that I didn't realize what an idiot I am. Thanks.

  • thats a cool cat but i dont think he really opens the door by himself but if he does than awsome

  • @MrGigs94 Yes, he actually opens doors. Many years ago I locked him in the pantry so I could fix a tuna fish sandwich without him staring at me. Within a minute he had opened the door and came walking out. He's been opening doors ever since. We had to change the knob on one door that leads outside because he would just let himself out.

  • well if you knew parkour....

  • fail

    

  • A bit smarter and more agile than you thought......but lets see her play even a simple pentatonic scale, you'd have her there Doug!!

  • pretty funny man , she pwned that fence

  • How to train a cat to open a door?

  • @miltond8 No training is necessary. We had to change the handle on the door leading into the garage because he would let himself out. I first noticed this skill when I locked him in the pantry so I could fix tuna salad. That worked for about 10 seconds. He is very smart.

  • @dmarks1 o_o

  • This is hilarious Doug!

  • @jerbear57 Thanks Jerry.

  • Skull/Head size has nothing to do with Intelligence,So you're wrong. But yeah,Cats arent smart.

    If you were right it would mean that men are more smarter than women. And Wales even smarter than humans.

  • @Bravyanz0r Wales? Uhhh... Okay

  • I am LMAO at this hilarious video!!!

    My husband just got done building an enclosed kitty sun porch which led to an outdoor enclosure via a tunnel. The top of the fence had corrugated drainpipe to keep the cats from escaping (if interested see my videos).

    For a few days it was great watching our 3 cats play and enjoy the great outdoors until Molly aka Heliumcat surprised us by climbing the fence and walking the entire perimeter like a tightrope! So now we begin again. Thanks for the laughs!

  • @Lyricat59 You're welcome. I never lose site of the fact that I'm just a humble servant for these cats.

  • Ah Hah!! I knew there was trick to mastering guitar... If you look at 3:10 to 3:15 you can easily see that he's entering cheat codes so he can shred later on. I'm disappointed Doug lol

  • @theleetman Very funny. You caught me.

  • hi but what is the poin

  • @lalalala374 The point is there is no point grasshopper.

  • If you actually make it cat proof, they have been known to teleport.

    Good luck!

  • Men should own dogs not cats!

  • @SuperSneakySteve You can own a dog. Nobody owns a cat.

  • Haha! Cat 1, shred guitarist 0... Some things in life you're not supposed to

    win, Doug... sad fact of life. Great to see the everyday lives of guitarists (and their cats...)

  • When i clicked it i was like, noo this guy is going to throw his own cat, after sec hmm wait noo he doesnt, he'll just cut him in half

    good i watch it to the end : P

  • I'm having my asshole waxed as I watch this

  • @MrSistermaryelephant Of course. That's usually something we require you to do before watching the video. We'll let that one slide this time.

  • @dmarks1 this is the most epic comment ever... seriously i think i'm getting my anus waxed right away

  • @MrSistermaryelephant why do you keep leaving comments about your asshole? 

  • hey doug, that was the cutest thing i've ever seen hahaaaaa i see the cat got out.

    keep up the good work, lol, that was just too cute. :))

  • It was a really really good idea...I was rooting for you. Don't be downhearted; I've got 2 who are smarter than me as well ;o)

  • i love your backyard. love love love it.

  • @JellyBabeXoXo Thanks. I like it.

  • hehe Abbyssinians..decending from the great cats of Egypt i swear..they know they were worshipped as gods!

  • ok what the hell was that!!!! did the cat actually fly at all in that video or was that just some kind of way to draw ppl in. It was stupid all i saw was you making this tube thing U O ME 4MINS AND 42SECONDS OF MY LIFE BUDDY!!!!

  • hey man, just put some rubber spikes on top of your fence and plant some citrus trees, cats hate citrus and they're not too fond of jaggy things either! simples LOL! btw, i love how your cat just OWNED your arse by climbing over your elaborate "escape proof" fence ... hahahaha .... who says cats are stupid? they are the ULTIMATE PREDATORS or haven't you heard? LOL

  • Cats are smart. Very smart.

  • @Roxdurag Thanks Rox.

  • i didn't know dave mustane was outwitted by cats

  • hmm... what kind of cat is that?

  • @Xx1niko1xX They're Abyssinian - really great cats.

  • You were on the right track with the PVC Pipe. Try extending the pipes over the inside of fence slightly and make them roll towards the inside perimeter only. Would require brackets, wood caps glued on inside of pipe ends, sealed bearings in center of caps, and pins on the brackets. Would also require support brackets with rollers in the middle of pipes to eliminate sag.

  • ahh old cat lady

  • The first thing that came to my mind when I first saw you was, "HOLY CRAP, Dave Mustaine!!!!" lol, no offense dude, he's one of my favorite guitar players, but your hair looks a lot like his in his younger days. Cool cats BTW, and such a waste of PVC, I knew it wouldn't work, cats are just way too smart, lol.

  • super cat!

  • all that work for nothing

  • Does anyone else think that he looks like Michael McDonald from MadTv?

  • cats are one of the smartest animal :P i think you need to reaserch

  • i like the cat..

  • nice backyard

  • You want to keep them cats from jumping to the other side? Put a 100+ pound Rottweiler on the other side of the fence!! With that "Vicious Dog" on the other side, Ther's no way in Hell that they will want to leap to the other side!!

  • They look like "Miniature Mountain Lions"!! No way you can outsmart those "Buggers"!!

  • this guy is so stupid to think that he can outsmart a cat

  • Dude!!, you Are A Great Speaker, and Have A Natural Conversational Style that Millions Can, and Would be Able to Relate to, if you Had A Reality T.V. Show!

    Even though Most of us don't have the" Cool Randy Rhoads Esque Hair Do'! You Really Do Have That "Metal Bro" Style that Reminds Us of Someone We Know/Knew, or You Remind us Of Ourselves Even, just A Bit More Experienced/Wiser !

    Funny Video and Beautiful Cats As Well

  • @hyena667 - Thanks. I appreciate that. That brought a smile to my face.

  • @hyena667 to write in capital letters in each word does not make you smart

  • I have seen cats fly. lol

  • Great video from beginning to end!

  • Cat - 1, dude with pbc-0.

  • PVC. Anyway, funny video...nice backyard and pool too....wow...must be somewhere in California I'm guessing...and I can hear speed boats in the background even. This guy must have made a fortune from his instructional guitar videos to have a place like that and to have that much time on his hands too...

  • @mbofny. its dude with PVC, dumbass

  • lol

  • HAHAHAHA... And the cat still wins!!! Nice Vid Doug

  • Kitty Flying Method

  • sorry, really cool idea. 5 stars

  • LOL! 80's Hairdo!

  • I feel you dude, We have poeple in our complex who dont like cats, And I have three of them, But cats are meant to roam, its in their nature. I wish I could keep my cats inside in some way or another - but we are not allowed to build extras in or on our walls, Complex rules.

    I do however bring my cats indoors at night, They have been doing that since kitten stage - so they are used to it. When i bring them in they curl up and go to sleep for the night.

  • Well done kitty !

  • why did it not fly ?

  • haha! now thats original

  • Lol Doug! Didn`t expect this video from you :D

    I love cats. You`re a great well known guitarist and teacher and you`re building something for a cat:)) You surely must be mad Doug

  • nice NS-10s.

  • lol great video, I have a part Abyssinian Blue female and they're smart cats.

  • Lol watching I thought you fit the profile of a "rocker" or musician.. Then I saw the yamaha NS10's

  • lol, the pic that you see at the beginning of the video was you holding your cat in front of the pool. i thought this video was going to be you just throwing him into the pool, glad thats not the case. very entertaining video btw.

  • get a fucking taller fence

  • lmao i love that at the end STUPID HUMENS lmao. you can never out smart a cat they well find new ways to shut you up that's why i love them so much

  • my cat is a big pussy! He's scared of everything! He is even scared to fight a kitten!

  • This is hilarious. Master at guitar and now DIY videos. You need to post more of these.

  • LOL. Doug Marks: PVC Method.

    Beautiful cats, btw.

  • Fail

  • Hilarious! :D

  • well at least it sounded like a great idea,but you have very clever cats

  • My cat, when she was a smaller kitten, would come in the bedroom in the middle of the night and try to play. Anything I would put up she would either make it fall or she would get around or over it somehow. They are very very clever.

  • haha! well,try again :D

  • This Is Funny. lol.
