Window-Mounted Cat Perch Set with Hammock, Shelf & Bowls

Vertical space is the cheapest space in a flat, and cats care about it far more than floor area. A window is better still, because it gives them height, warmth and something to watch, which covers most of what a bored indoor cat is missing. This set puts a hammock, a feeding shelf with raised bowls and a couple of stepping platforms straight onto the glass, so nothing stands on the floor at all.

It is made from pine throughout and mounts with suction cups rather than screws or brackets, so there is nothing to drill and nothing left behind when it comes down. The raised bowls on the shelf are a genuine benefit rather than a gimmick: eating from a bowl at chest height means less craning, which suits older cats and flat-faced breeds in particular. The platform measures roughly 39 x 24cm.

• Made from 100% pine wood
• Hammock, feeding shelf with raised bowls and stepping platforms
• Mounts to glass with suction cups, no drilling
• Platform measures 15.5 x 9.5 inches, roughly 39 x 24cm
• Suction cups rated to hold 50lbs, around 22.7kg
• Two pad colours: white or yellow

Be careful with the weight rating. That 22.7kg figure is a static hold on clean, dry glass. A cat landing hard on a hammock loads it well beyond its own bodyweight for a moment, and suction loses grip as it warms in direct sun. Clean the glass properly, reseat the cups every few weeks, and do not mount it high above a hard floor.

Who it's for: flat dwellers and owners of indoor cats who need climbing and lounging space without giving up any floor.
