Cat Window Perches

I have a lot of experience with cats. Just ask anyone who knows me – my entire life has been by the side of at least one cat.

Therefore, I feel I am in a position to say that all cats love watching whatever's going on beyond the window. Whatever it is – birds, squirrels, falling leaves – if it moves, it's enthralling. They can sit there for an hour just watching. And maybe sleeping, too.

This is how the cat window perch was made.

Cat window perches are simple. The name explains it: little perches on windows for cats. But they can provide hours upon hours of relaxation, recreation, and fun for any cat.

This is a photo of a cat enjoying this kind of cat window perch, which uses 4 suction cups and string to keep it on the window:

Unfortunately, the Etsy shop that makes them is temporarily closed. But they aren't the only ones who make cat window perches.

There are plenty of ready-to-order cat perches and "shelves" on the PetSmart website, the prices ranging from $29.99 to $74.99. (The $75 perch heats up to keep your cat warm, which is why it is so pricey.) Their perches, however, work as windowsill extenders. It's perfect if your windows have windowsills, but they aren't large enough for a cat to be comfortable on.

$45.99 from PetSmart.

As you can see above, this perch is made to attach to the windowsill and wall.

Drs. Foster and Smith, a vet-owned pet supply online store, also sells the same design of cat perch in varying prices. They also sell windowsill protector, if you have a cat-size windowsill but keep getting the sill scratched up.

There is also a plethora of cat window perches available on Amazon, including several models using suction cups if you don't have any windowsills. The star average for the Amazon reviews is 4.5/5.

And that's all for today, thingologists! I highly recommend getting one or two of these if you have cats or are adopting some soon. Until next time!

Also, sorry about not updating in so long. I got involved in other things. But, I'll be (hopefully) on a update-daily schedule for a while. Anyway! Have a good day, and see you tomorrow!
