Don’t want to be a Debbie downer but after losing 2 cats one permanently I woukd follow Eric’s lead with leashing the kittens because they will try to dart out when the door opens! 😊

[rabbitwhisperer]

You had two cats make a dash, one never seen again and you let two kittens out in the woods. Hmmm. 🙀

[tdbeltz]

Interesting, both of you have cameras and you usually go out of your way to prove something happened, but not one video of you guys coaxing the cat back and finally getting the cat back. Great storyline, plus free camping while the park is too packed for you to camp. Apparently you didnt learn your lesson, as the next thing we see is the little kittens running loose with so many places to hide and get lost.

[dsmeadows]

This is the part I don't understand the refrigerator door opened why did you get out of the RV come around and open the main door?
I mean you got five cats in there, I mean the kittens alone they don't know any better Diana's cat goes out all the time you should have known that. Yeah I'm gonna tell you some stuff you don't want to hear. Life ain't a party if those were little kids you'd be in big trouble. To me, when you don't have kids and you have pets instead the kids are sneaky cats are extremely sneaky I've owned many cats in my lifetime. And airtags don't save the world or your cat's life. Learn to be more responsible, there's my rant for the day.

Guys, don't let your kitties outside off a leash or tie-out!! You lost Yin and almost lost Yang! Please take care to keep your cats safe.

[raygalles]

Thank you for the "Jax clip" at the end. A beautiful friend and companion.

[gobbsmacked]

Why not just walk back inside the cab from the driver's seat . . . seems odd that you'd go all the way around the outside of the RV and open the side door . . . very clickie.

GREAT video - Eric your ending was the sweetest! I love watching you two together. As a camper married 45 years (and I still love spending time with hubby) it is so much more fun to travel with someone.

[christurner]

You keep griping and moaning about the cats running out of the RV but you continue to teach them to love it outside.. Don't get upset when the kittens start running out the door because they are only are doing what you are teaching them.

[rebeccaswilling]

Stop letting the cat outside. That’s really stupid

[JanetFolkerts]

So happy her kitty came back to the warmth and loving RV for the night. Love the music and your singing at the end ! Jax was the Max ! THANKS for sharing.

[valerie]

So glad kitty is home safe! That's such a relief!
Those weird plants are kelp.

[theathjr]

Can you not pass through the cab without going outside to close the fridge ? Just asking

[shelala]

How come we never saw a pic of Yang? It’s a matter of time until another one goes missing…

[rodh]

how stupid you already lost cat, how soon they forget

[lyfandeth]

The only way to be SURE that a short fast animal can't bolt out the door, is to go on Temu and get leg shackles for it.
The RV gets hit or slips into the ditch, busts something open, and 5 cats will be gone. That's why it is NOT cruel to keep them harnessed or crated while you're on the road. Same things for dogs, because panic busts training.

[JeffGeraldFishing]

Can you not turn around and walk back to the fridge?? What the hell was the point of getting out and walking around if y’all knew that you were on the side of a busy road?? Please help me understand Eric? I mean I’m glad the cat came back, but geez common sense could’ve avoided the situation all together

[ltheparty]

Maybe let Yang ride with Dianna in frosty. The poor cat is probably so confused. New home new dude new kittens and Ying is gone. That’s a a lot of new!

[TheSalineman]

Always crack a door open when you have a jerd of critters inside. I guess you have to learn the hard way Always.

[plutoplatters]

This is WHY multiple cats isn't a great idea ! This applies to me also.
