Backyard Cats YouTube Channel Screenshot

Finally! A Milestone Update After Almost Two Years…

Five years ago, I started my YouTube channel for my cat Tommy, then called 'Wholesome Tommy'. It was just a fun project on the side and I enjoyed experimenting with and learning how to edit videos. Tommy isn't really an active cat though, so the channel would likely never grow much.…
Can You Spot the Kitty?

Can You Spot the Kitty?

While going for a walk a few days ago, I found this interesting - err - area with, well, trash. o.O I was here just a few months ago and there was actually a house and a garden. Not sure what happened and why, but there was a kitty enjoying the…
My Cats Want in and Out the Door Repeatedly

My Cats Want in and Out the Door Repeatedly!

We all know that cats don't like closed doors. My cats are no different. I like to keep all doors open where possible, but when it's cold - or too hot - I will turn on the inverter to regulate the temperature. And to not waste money trying to heat up…

Cheap Way to Entertain Indoor Cats: Cardboard Box + Crumpled Papers

Ricky in a Cat Tunnel

A New Tunnel for the Cats

I bought a new tunnel for the cats and took a few cute pictures of Ricky in it! Tommy doesn't seem to have much of an interest playing with the tunnel - he hasn't entered it once! But Ricky likes it, especially when I add additional toys to play with, such…
spanking tuxedo cat reported for animal abuse

My YouTube Video Got Reported for Animal Abuse

So, a day ago, I uploaded a funny cat video of me slapping Ricky on her butt. Repeatedly. For a minute (but in 5x the speed). I could make a one hour video if my arm wouldn't get tired, because after Tommy, Ricky now also developed a liking for getting pet…

Cat Toy Review: Colorful Springs

I have two indoor cats, Tommy (12) and Ricky (4), also commonly referred to as the Backyard Cats. The name Backyard Cats stems from the fact that we used to live in The Netherlands, where the cats had access to a large, fenced off backyard for their entire lives, up to…
