We figured out a way to reuse old shoji doors

In our last video people asked if we had reused the shoji doors we took from the previous house yet (we hadn't). But it made us want to try finding a spot for them again and we came up with a great idea! We were so excited about this project and LOVE how it turned out! Thanks for the inspiration!

How many video chapters are too many? I figure cat moments should have their own chapters. I would want cat chapters.

We figured out how to use the shoji doors from the previous house!! Thanks to you guys for asking about it and inspiring us to brainstorm with them again. I think this is the best way they could have turned out! It gave us a space where we could display a lot of our Japanese things, and also gave Hina her own spot. We love it so much!

The fact that Jun will still mutter "Welcome to Japan" as a joke when Rachel complains after this many years is very sweet. 10/10 spouse taunt.

It's always uplifting to see Pichi doing well and accepting pets.

The bonsai was safe for cats, but sadly the cats weren't safe for the bonsai. 😸

And that corner looks so lovely now!

[NinjaFalllow]

Nagi: OH NOES! I've been CAUGHT! *panics*
Jun: Caught doing what?!
Nagi: I DON'T KNOW *runs away*

[DeliciousPigeonCheez]

I love how creative Rachel and Jun are when it comes to upcycling older items. The addition of Hina was such a nice touch, Also love how the cats have been claiming more and more screen time over the years. Always puts a smile on my face to see Pichi and the boys doing so well. RIP bonsai.

Nagi being scared of Rachel's gas mask while Haku was rubbing all over her face was just so on brand for them lol

[PKSGPVA]

Okay, can we take a second to talk about this quick-connect thing for ceiling lamps????

[emilyshrum]

Hearing Pichi vocalize (the lil mrpp💙), seeing Nagi have zoomies, and just all the cats being so active and comfy....it makes my heart so warm to see the love y’all have for the kitties💙

[solarpanda]

I cannot wait for all of Rachel and Jun's videos to be interrupted periodically by a cat sprinting on the cat wheel.🤣🤣 Nagi finally has his thing to do while filming (Poki screams/steals food and Haku sits in the way/steals any stick like object)

[rampantbuckler]

Buying a second house does sound pretty otherworldly to be honest

[enzuki]

12:17 When Jun asked what Nagi was doing and he immediately ran away was way too funny. Same with 12:42 but little bit less.

Rachel:*talking about her masterpiece*
Jun: *hears Poki on the wheel and interrupts Rachel* “-OH, I have to record this.” *quickly turns around*

[Whatlander]

The way Poki yells back when Jun tries to encourage him to use the wheel is like, "yeah I can make pointless noise too, Father."

[unnurhrafnsdottir]

I love this. I recently lost my first cat who looked a lot like Hina, and it felt so nice to see that I am not alone in having a little shrine with her ashes and a photo placed on a little pedestal. It made me cry but in a good healing way.

[akiramiyashi]

Oh gosh! Nagi's sudden zoomies made me burst out laughing! 🤣🤣🤣

[Satan-ntoo]

Rachel: Don’t we want the cats to NOT associate this paper with scratching?

Jun: …

Jun: KITTIES ATTACK

[idraote]

Rachel and Jun: we're going to make a video about our shoji doors.
The real video: cats playing, being cuddly, looking for attention and using the beautiful cat-parkour you have created for them.

[monanarts]

Immediately teared up at seeing Hina being welcomed home. Lovely work on the up-cycling too!

I’m seeing so many cat shelves in your house and usually I don’t ask to see people’s houses, but I’d love to see how you arranged the shelves and where you put them. I have 4 cats and I’m planning on getting them furniture and stuff like that soon so It’d be really helpful to see how you guys did it
