As Thompson explains in his video, part of Frodo's daily routine at home involves walking down a set of stairs before sunning himself in the backyard next to the pool. The thing is, Frodo loves sitting in the sun by the pool, but he's old and struggles to climb the stairs. So Liam had a clever idea.

He gathered some pieces of plywood, sliding door rails, and an electric hoist and put them all together to make a DIY cat elevator for Frodo.

It was a challenging job, though. Liam spent days measuring, cutting, sanding, and testing his invention to make sure it was safe for Frodo. He even used a stuffed toy to check if it worked properly before letting Frodo try it.

When everything was set, Liam playfully said to Frodo, "Are you ready to go downstairs without moving a muscle? I hope so because it took me four days!" And guess what? Frodo seemed to absolutely love his new elevator.

The elevator worked great, making it much easier for Frodo to get around. Liam was thrilled with how it turned out and considered it one of the best things he'd ever done. After all, who wouldn't be happy to make their cat's life more comfortable? We can all relate to that!
