I don’t understand how so many people found Bo annoying just cos he meows. What do they expect a cat to do? Poor little thing. Thank god he found you guys to love him
Hey guys. We're our cats 5th home. We had her from a cat rescue place in Wales and they told us that people kept bringing her back because she's so needy and nervous and has various emotional problems. She's been our girl for over 5 years now and we couldn't imagine life without her. Bo must be your perfect cat, too ;-)
When they finish the house skirting, make sure you know where Bo is. You don't want them to finish and then hear 😺Meows! coming from under the house 😄.
So pleased that you now know Bo's background and he's really yours now with no worries that someone's gonna come looking for him. I also can't believe nobody wanted this gorgeous affectionate cat! He really couldn't have chosen a better new family ❤ Much love from France!
We don't yet *know* that they are a better family. Don't get me wrong, I like Anna and JT. But they haven't mentioned worming or neutering and they won't have him indoors, instead leaving him outside in all the bad weather where there are predators. How is that 'better'?
Please be careful when doing repairs yourself, it may affect your contract or guarantee on your home or potential compensation. Read your contract and consider speaking with a lawyer/solicitor as they will advise you on what steps to take next. Things could get messy if you have further issues with the home or with the company that you purchased from. Wishing you both the best of luck.
Oh my - poor Beau, hes gorgeous and he’s meowing because he wants attention- he was clearly wasted on those other homes. So pleased they brought him back, cos he’s got the best family now 🥰
I had two cats. Their main job was to annoy eat and sleep LOL. Although one passed away recently. The other one has been going strong for 15 years. We miss his sister greatly and love them both. So thank you for giving Bo his forever home.
I once had a ginger tom very like Bo. He followed my two cats into the house and, as they were tolerant of him and we couldn't find his owners, we kept him. The vet estimated him to be six years old and he lived to be twenty one. He was in great condition even then and had he not developed a tumour in his hip the vet reckoned he would have lived for years longer. He's still a legend in our street as he used to visit so many families including one that he only went to on Sundays when the lady's family visited for a roast dinner. 🐱
If a cat is unhappy with their living arrangements they will upsticks and leave. I don't want to sound like I'm preaching, but I'd have him neutered ASAP, plus a good flea and worm treatment and give him a nice warm bed indoors. Just because he was outside when he was found doesn't mean he wants or needs to be. He can still go outside and he gets on with the dogs. If not then maybe he should be adopted out to a nice, warm family home. But that is only my opinion, please don't crucify me in the comments!
@@cat-mum-Jules I do feel the same, though trying to remind myself that this is American farmland and I think there's possibly a very different culture around pets than in most of the UK (though it's likely British farmers have similar arrangements with cats). I know some farmers have a completely different relationship with working dogs than they do with their domestic pets. My last dog was a Border Collie from a farm in Wales, having failed as a sheepdog (too laid back and not interested in the sheep). He was emaciated, and the farmer demonstrated a complete lack of emotional connection to the working dogs (when they reached middle age, he simply got a couple of pups, let the mature dog train them up and sold the experienced dog - no retirement as a family pet, despite having pet dogs, too!). They weren't allowed indoors, and ours took a lot of persuasion & reassurance before he dared step over the threshold - there were many signs he'd been harshly treated, and it's a miracle, and testament to his gentle character, that he was such a sweet, calm boy. I know that's not universal. Our current dog is another failed sheepdog, and her farmer went to great lengths to find suitable new homes and was clearly more emotionally invested in their wellbeing. However, those farm dogs also seem to have lived in the barn, not indoors (though she bred them, so they may have been in the home in their very early weeks). I know farms and riding stables here sometimes have outdoor cats to manage mice etc, and I imagine this is more common in farming/rural communities in the USA, as they just have so much more space than we do, so living environments like this are quite normal - it's hard for us to contemplate, as the vast majority of us live in towns and cities with busy roads nearby - large tracts of land like JT and Anna have is just so alien to us - In the UK, if land is owned by someone, it's going to be working farmland or a housing estate! Anna clearly adored this cat from the outset, so not letting it in must be a cultural difference (as in USA farming/rural regions, rather than USA as a whole), as I don't think many Brits would be able to leave it outside (and, in most cases, there would be so many immediate hazards in doing so). So yes, I'd love to see them let Bo live indoors (at night, at least - he seems happy roaming outside in the day and when he has company out there). I'm shocked so many previous owners rejected this cat, he's adorable and so friendly. I'm assuming they just wanted it as a farm cat, not for affection/company.
You're clearly meant to be Bo's permanent parents - I love watching him & listening to his voice; my little girl - Pixie is almost 4 & she is so vocal, I love vocal cats, they're awesome, so thank you for loving Bo, he's such a baby 🐾
The meowing is his way of communicating with you, cats don't meow to other cats, only to their humans, i have a ginger and white tom, he meows all time ❤🎉😊
@@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim most reds are boys, thought the most rare beast of all is a male tortie cat or Calico either way I love them all when we adopted Maggie our vet with twenty years experience said she's only ever seen a few orange girls they are somewhat Rare Maggie knows this and milks it for all of her extra special worth particularly at treat times 😸😸
Have you considered underpinning with concrete foundation's about 500mm depth' you can do this in sections for stability... and reduce future movements.
Thank you so much for giving Beau a furr ever home. I have two cats if my own, and I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them. Please let him inside and see how he gets on, you will receive affection like you’ve never experienced before, trust me.
I had my upstairs boiler tank replaced. The workman, Butch & Sundance, managed to pour water from the tank through the floor and it was coming in through the living room ceiling. Each drop of water hit the electric wiring of the light fitting and switched the light on and then off. I called them to come down and see what was happening, saying that's not safe. Get this, he stood on a chair and took out the light-bulb and said it would be fine now until the electrician could come look at it in the morning! I kid you not. I made him go and turn the power off to the circuit. Ok we had no overhead lighting but there was no water hitting live wires. I'm so glad you've taken Bo in. You can tell how much he loves you all, including the pups. Be sure to get him fixed or you may have an influx of little Boes.
JT... South Texas Roots bought a house like yours and he had so many problems, he ended up giving it back, just trying to say... do a thorough check on the place, you'll be able to see his video and problems he had. Good luck, hope you have no major problems
I think you are way more generous with these guys than they deserve, JT.❤ Just as long as you've got good solid foundations, that is the main thing. And Bo was just waiting for you guys to come along.😂Love it! All that breaking of the hay reminds me of mucking out the horses in the stables when I was younger. Keep going, you re doing a really brilliant job between you and all that fresh air.❤😊
Going to guess the guy doing the sidings saw the leak and thought "I'm only going to have to come back and take it off then put it back on again when they see that". If that's so then props to him for not just covering it up.
He/They was hoping they wouldn't notice, so they the company could perhaps fix it quietly and still claim labor fee and rates/expenses for the skirting taking longer,from JT & Anna I Guess (you know first time owners are supposedly easy marks to scam off)
My good lady watched this with me. She was yelling at the screen to 'Just unroll the damn thing!' The farmers daughter coming out in her. Hope you solve your problems, but be wary of warranties.
Bad to hear about the issues with the pipes & plaster and stuff- hopefully things will be sorted asap. Great to hear that Bo is settling in and seems to have decided on you both as his long term Minions. All you need to do now is get him booked in to get "his pockets picked" (sounds better than "balls chopped off") so that he doesn't start spraying to mark his territory when he comes inside- believe me, it stinks forever when cats do that and is a real pain in the arse to neutralise the stink.
Cracks in a new build house. That should be on the builder to make any fixes required. Read your contract. As the house appears to be on blocks. I presume the house is shifting already. As you do not have a decent foundation.
Great team work guys! 👍🏼 Bo's story absolutely broke my heart 💔 glad he found real animal lovers! ❤ Hope my huge box cheered you both up from the leak and any other negative stuff 🙏🏻😊 thanks for another great video! 👌🏼 xx
The story with Bo just means that he was probably destined to be with you - cats choose their owners, full stop. We had one cat, that followed a neighbour; she wasn't a cat lady but she knew we had cats. She knocked on our door, and literally as she was explaining, the cat, Bertie, walked in past my (now ex-) wife and put himself on the sofa. He just sat there and purred until the other two, Pebbles and Ebony, came up too look and said "hey, another cat. Cool". We don't choose the cat.
How anyone could say that Beau is annoying is nuts because he is a gorgeous precious boy who wants to be loved. Well done Anna for rolling that hay like that xx
I'm finding it fascinating to observe a lifestyle that's so different from the UK - I don't think many of us could imagine having such an enormous amount of land - and there's such a demand for homes (and they're so expensive) that anyone who did own such a large area & wanted to live on it would more than likely be parcelling off a small plot for themselves and selling the rest for housing development (or doing it themselves if they had the money), as it would fit a fairly large estate of lots of small houses with tiny gardens worth many millions combined. We also only generally see pre-made buildings like this in holiday parks (though I notice the humidity readings are dramatically lower than mine/ours, so that might explain a lot). While I sit in my damp house listening to the constant traffic outside, I do envy you this space and the peace & tranquillity it offers. I'm fascinated to know if you have any plans for the open space around the house.
Hey guys, been watching Your other channel for months and only found this one today, I don’t want to worry you but I noticed something really odd on this video! At the 3 mins and 24 second mark, checkout the tree line behind JT’s neck, it looks like someone standing there ! As JT moves to show under the house (only a split second later so you really have to watch) it looks like the figure starts moving to the right. Then the shot changes to the leak! It could be nothing, but I showed my hubby and he agrees with me! Please check it out as we are now feeling a bit concerned for the two of you like I say it’s maybe something like light change, but I couldn’t sleep if I hadn’t pointed it out! Stay happy, stay safe! Love to you both from Scotland! Xx
I love you two, home from work after a hard day and then a little insight into your lives which always has a few laughs. The hay is a great idea, when it gets warmer it will rot in and improve the soil. Anna is like me, comes from a farming family and knows stuff even though not farming. A fine legacy for life.
Probably the only Americans I like😂😂 these guys are sick man 😂 I’m happy they ain’t like those who brag or ego these guys just work hard and vibe Love from North London 😂 !
I should come over and metal detect around the house for you 🙂We have a cat too that found us he sleeps in the greenhouse , he is ferral but kind of cute too. ( We have lots of abandoned and strays that the cat charity say can not be rehomed,) so they drop me food off and i try to feed them all
You’re the best people to look after Bo and he knows it that’s why he chose you. Look at Anna with the muscles - you go girl!! Sorry JT but she put you to shame I’m afraid 😅😉
Hope you got the leak fixed. They should give you some cash back as they have not been the best company to purchase from. Have they finished the siding finished. Thank you so much for adopting Beau. God bless you both ❤❤👵🏴🌹🌹🌹
Lovely to see you working together ❤ it's hubs and I do things. I'm sorry you are still having a few problems at the moment... hopefully not for much longer. We are starting our kitchen next week 🥺❤
Sorry to hear that you're having problems, there's always teething troubles but you will get them sorted, and your house is lovely. Bo should be named Boomerang 🪃 😂😂. All the best to you both Sharon and Tony x
Sending little Bobo love and congratulations on picking his own forever home after his hooman s messed it up three times. He chose well. I'm completely owned by my own ginger and white Tom cat who chose to come live with us 18years ago by simply constantly following my husband while he was setting up a remote work computer at his very pregnant assistant. He and his life ginger brother had been reserved by one of her in laws due to be collected when they were 8weeks but now they were 12 weeks and not only had they not collected them but we're not returning calls. Husband arrived to collect me from work with them in back of car. Sadly Ginger was found to have a heart condition and he passed away aged 9. Our Bobo is turning 19 in three weeks he would love to have been able to invite little Bobo to his birthday dinner but he realised that it was a bit too much to ask him and his chosen hooman s to travel all the way to Bonnie Scotland to share his salmon dinner so instead he's sending his congratulations to his mini me so lots of good wishes for Bobo and of course both of you in your new home together Love prayers and best wishes from big Bobo and his by now well trained hooman servants From Bonnie Scotland x
Happens a lot to all 'new builds'. They take a little time to rest. You'll always get cracks showing. When we had a house fire in our 200 year old home they stripped everything back to bare brick. Rendered/plastered/painted. Within 6 months cracks appeared. You are in the open. Hot summers, cold winters. Expands/contracts.
Haha, "What are you doing Bo? Don't climb on me...."! Bo continues climbing... This is such a typical cat/human exchange. Cat's do exactly what they please and you do what they tell you to. It can't be any other way. He's a cat!
Jumped out the car as she was going to a house nearby.. You asked the neighbours. Surely one of them would have known they were getting a cat? Definitely get him chipped and neutered asap please. Incase they try taking him back
The way they have installed you home I would be setting a sprit level on the internal floors to see how much of a slope there is. I would NOT be happy with the state of the finishing inside and outside. You may be a cameraman JT, but certainly not a gentleman. 😂
Bo knew he was destined for far better things!!! Shame on people for bringing a cat back for meowing!!! Ummm it’s what they do…. I’m glad he found you all. He’s clearly found his people (and pups) :). I hope you gave the house people hell. The service they have provided has been shocking from the start!!!
Bo has had a rough start to his life so give him all the love that you can ❤ and please make sure he is neutered, if he isn't then come mating season he will wonder some distance to find a mate and that also means more kittens needin to be homed when there are so many in rescues looking for their forever homes 💕 thank you for caring ❤
From AR via CA. Watch you all the time. Really glad I watched this episode because I have been researching prefab houses. Will probably just build. Does doing work yourself void any warranty?Good luck.
We have the same problem in the UK, trying to find tradesmen who actually have pride in the work they do seems to be impossible. Tied tradesmen are by far the worse, nothing you see shines with an air of profession finish.
JT threaten to go to a lawyer and see what can be done to get the house finished faster and the skirting people do need certain weather conditions to do their job properly and that's the one thing that is going right .
