Cat Window Perches

Has anyone ever met a cat who didn't like window perches? For a long time, cat window perches have been available to give your lovely pet visual access to what's going on outside. Cats are very curious creatures, and buying a perch can provide them hours of entertainment as they sit mesmerized by birds flying from tree to tree and children playing in yards. This is incredibly helpful if you have an indoor cat. You want your buddy to be safe inside, but you don't want to deprive him of all the good things nature has to offer.

Many of the perches available also double as a cat window bed. This is great because instead of buying a perch and a cat bed, you can spend money on one that can be used as both. K&H offers a few different types of these 2-for-1 deals in various colors to best match your living space - like the K&H Kitty Sill Deluxe Bolster Cat Bed, 14-Inch by 24-Inch, Tan Kitty Print . Even if you don't buy a model specifically made to function as a bed as well, it's likely that if your perch is carpeted, you'll catch your cat napping on it. It may not seem like the most comfortable spot to us, but it must have something going for it if our cats insist on sleeping there!

Some cat climbing trees can also serve as window perches. Many of them feature designs with carpeted shelves at one foot intervals. If you set these trees next to the window, your cat will actually be able to lounge on a lower shelf or even climb up for a better view. SmartCat has a multi-level climber that is sure to catch your cat's attention - SmartCat Multi-Level Cat Climber .
 

Wow, this is a cat scratching tree with quite the twist! Available in black or white, the Sebastian Modern Cat Tree will fool any guest into thinking it's either a regular piece of furniture or even an aesthetically pleasing decoration that matches the most modern of homes. This design features six distinct levels in the form of boxes artistically placed on top of each other at different spots for a more interesting, compelling look.

The levels featured in this cat tree can be used for climbing and playing, and the first one consists of a sisal material that is perfect for scratching. The second and fourth levels have carpet on them and could even be used as comfortable cat window perches to allow your cat a wonderful view. The second level doubles as a hiding place with an entrance hole in it for your furry friend. This hole is 7.5 x 8 inches so that even larger cats can fit inside it and won't feel left out.

The Sebastian Modern Cat Tree uses a non-toxic, long-lasting paint that is safe for your pets and has a glossy look to it, adding a little bit of oomph to an already intriguing design. The product itself weighs 72.8 pounds so it's much sturdier than your average cat tree. Your cat could jump up to one of the levels and not have to worry about it falling over. In addition, the tree is easy to assemble and comes complete with instructions. This is one piece of cozy cat furniture that is sure to make even human jealous.
 

The Sophia Wall Mounted Cat Tree in Black is a great addition to any collection of cat climbing trees you might have, or if you haven't started a collection yet, this is the perfect one to go with. This tree comes in a set of two shelves that you can mount on a wall wherever you prefer. If you want, you can purchase another set of shelves and really come up with a great configuration that is likely to keep your cat occupied for hours at a time.

This product features carpet on each of the shelves that is perfect for your cat to perch on. One of the shelves includes a hole that is 7.5 x 8 inches so that your cat can climb through it no matter how big he or she is. The other shelf's box can be used for storage or decorations like house plants, which would look great with this sleek design. Instead of wasting money on cat window perches, you could mount these shelves near a window to do the trick.

Luckily, the shelves attach to the wall using brackets so the whole product is fairly easy to get in working shape. All that you need to start is a Phillip's head screwdriver, drill, hammer, and pencil, none of which are very hard to acquire. The shelves themselves can support up to 25 pounds so larger cats are not a problem. With all the possible configurations of this tree, this is a better buy than most cat playpens.

Cats love to be perched by the window to watch all the action outdoors. They love to look outside and see the birds and nature. When looking for cat products that offer this type of cat perch – you can find exactly what your cat will love in this one product. The LAZY PET Deluxe Cat Window Perch is the exact match to any cat’s perching desire.

The plush Berber cover is removable and easy to wash and keep clean. There is no assembly required with this cat perch. You also get a bonus toy when you purchase this product for your cat.

For attractive cozy cat furniture that your cat will enjoy for hours, then this is the perfect perch. A comfortable inviting perch, that connects easily to any window in your house. You may want to purchase several if you have multiple cats.

This is a wonderful way to give cat perches to your feline pets. Make your cat happy with this neat cat product. An attractive perch that looks elegant in any room or space, the sun through the window will entice your cat to lie on the perch for a warming and comforting feeling. Consider this perch for your special sunbathing beauties.
 

What better way to make your Ragdoll kittens, or your adult cats for that matter, feel all cozy and snug than with the most luxurious cat blanket ever produced. It’s all well and good having unique cat furniture, but if your feline buddy doesn’t feel warm and loved there’s a good chance they’ll find somewhere else to sleep.

This is why the completely handmade, Languages Cat Blanket from Mungo & Maud is worth a look. This blanket is made of pure wool with a pretty candy-pink cotton backing. The stitching is all done by hand, making each blanket slightly different to every other one made. Not only would this blanket look perfect in one of your kitties cat window perches, it would also look very at home on your own bed, or the sofa, or even the wall as a piece of artwork.

In fact, you could have this blanket anywhere in the house you want, and if you can’t bear to let go of the ultra-soft texture you can always buy your cat another blanket and keep this one for yourself. The only drawback is that delivery is estimated at 3-4 weeks because they are made to order, but this is a blanket worth waiting for.    

 

Think that it is not possible to mix comfort and aesthetic appeal when it comes to selection pet bed for your furry companion?  Well think again!  If you are tired of pet bed that looks like dirty piles of pillows or blankets, then you need to check out the AlphaPooch Cuddler Rectangular Bolster Bed!

The AlphaPooch Bed can be used on the floor or on window ledges like the more traditional cat window bed setups.  The comfort and style of the AlphaPooch Cuddler Rectangular Bolster Bed rivals that of any cat window perches, beds, or cat playpen beds.

Easy to care for with the cover and pillow being machine washable, this bed is a must have for a cat who wants the good life.  And you can rest easy knowing you have made a good choice for your pet and for the environment as the fiberfill in the bed is made from post-consumer soda pop bottles.

You probably don’t need a Ragdoll cats book to tell you that the breed love their comfort. You also probably don’t need one to tell you that they like to lounge in sunlight, so the perfect present you can buy your kitty is an ultra-comfy cat window bed.

This deluxe kitty sill is therefore a great buy. Its microfleece bed is velvety soft, padded for comfort and easily big enough to fit an adult Ragdoll. There is also a patterned back bolster for added security, although this can be zipped off if kitty doesn’t like it. Nearly all of the reviews say these cat window perches are very sturdy and are easily fitted to most conventional window sills…which means you can move them from one window to the next as the sun moves.

For the price they do seem to be an incredibly good buy, and your Ragdoll is sure to appreciate the chance of soaking up some sun while checking out who is coming up the garden path. No doubt they will soon learn to meet you at the front door so as to see what other treats you might have bought them.

 

This is a guest post by Erica Johnson

Hello, my name is Erica Johnson and I am a cat behaviorist. I would like to share some of my favorite items with you! They are all kitty tested and approved, and of course, safe!  I have taken the guesswork out of these items, and provided links directly to the items online.  There may be several of one or two places, that’s just because I know and trust them!  I’ve even done some of the price comparing, to find out where you’ll get the most for your money!

1. Cozy Cat Comforters. Starting at $25. These comforters are spectacular! I had to buy one for each cat, and my small-medium dog! My pets wanted one of their very own, they would not share.  My oldest cat is the toughest critic known to man!  She instantly went to the comforter and laid down.  Now, if she finds something that sweet little heart desires, I would pay close to anything just to see her happy!  I've never seen them so possessive over something! They love them so much; they choose sleeping on the comforter instead of my bed! The shop also makes a larger item, like a table runner for the foot of the bed or back of the couch! I don't want to imagine life without these! Small-medium size dogs love them too. I got my Chihuahua one!   The shops’ owner makes you feel as though you are royalty!  She is the most attentive seller I have had the pleasure of doing business with.  She can also do custom orders if you don’t find the comforter that is purr-fect for you!  
2. Grow a surprise! Grow your own cat grass. They love it! Kits are sold at pet stores that contain various safe species of cat grass, so you can grow kitty his or her, own little garden! They love to chew it and it’s a natural hairball remedy!
3. Da Bird - The best wand toy ever - $9.99. This wand toy must be magic! I have never seen a cat that could resist!  It has to be the most incredibly lifelike bird feathers on the end of the very long, thin metal-like wand. It will be the best $8 you ever spend on a cat toy!
4. CatIt Designs - Water Fountain - $34.06 Do you have a cat that likes to have the faucet turned on for him/her to drink? It is very common for a cat to want to drink water as it drips from a faucet. Kitties like cool, fresh, running water. This fountain was the best investment I EVER made. It fulfills all these kitty wants. The water runs constantly down over a large dome into a dish that is constantly running and filtering all the water and keeping it cool (we live in Texas, we need it!), while providing different area to drink from!
5. Petstages Cheese Chase - $9.88  This super fun circular track comes with a ball for kitty to chase ‘round and ‘round!  That’s not all!  There is a furry friend growing up in the center for kitty to bat and chew!  My kitty has had his since he was born, and it’s still one of his favorites! 
6. Temptations cat treats Starting at 1.99 Any Pet Store -I LOVE Temptations cat treats! They are just one calorie per treat and have a plethora of amazing flavors. My favorite is catnip, and it seems to be the cats’ favorite too!
7. Cat tree. I found the best deal at Petsmart.  It is Online Only though, this is for a 74” tree but they have a variety of beautiful cat furniture! This one is $179.99. This is truly a great investment in your cats’ behavior. Cats do not like to be on the floor, and as a behaviorist, this is one of the first places the client and I go. My first thought is always to provide a way for kitty to get up off the floor. A cat tree also gives your cat a piece of furniture of his own; cats do realize and have feelings about their own furniture in the home. Place the tree in front of a window so they can watch the birds outside, and you've also just given kitty his own television!
8. Window Perch. Drs Foster and Smith. This perch allows kitty to safely observe the outdoors, without all of the risk and danger.  Naps may be taken while lying in the sun after a long, ever so hard day of bird watching!

Meowwy Christmas!!
