Mine like this one: http://tinyurl.com/y06x
This online price is better than what I paid in the store for it.

Too
bad I already used my free shipping promo earlier this week or I

would
have added this. What I like about it is that it is held by gravity
and leverage, and a small velcro strip on the sill. I got some

extra
velco from a craft store and can move the window seat to another
window to keep things interesting. A second perch would be better,
though.

I like the look of this one! I do want two, thanks for the tip. There
is a double window on the front wall, then a single window at the
side. I am thinking of a cat tree, too! (I just moved out a couch and
am rearranging.) Maybe I will look around online before I go to buy.

I just noticed that the online promotion and free shipping will still
apply for a second order for me so I might get another one, too. The
food I ordered earlier this week came in about 3 days. I finally
found one Shamrock will eat since his favorite canned food has been
discontinued by Petco and it isn't available anywhere else. Petreet
chicken and rice, he LOVED it. I found he'll eat the Pro Plan chicken
and rice so that'll have to be a substitute.

Cheeks is going crazy trying to watch the little birds who appear to
be trying to build a nest at the top of my office window. But the sill
is too shallow for her to sit comfortably so she has to stretch on tip
toe from the filing cabinet to watch them.

Any tips on good window seats for kitties that are simple to install
and lightweight and nice for the cat? I expect to go to PetSmart or
elsewhere later today and I would appreciate any advice. It is a
regular sized window. Thanks!



There are two basic configurations to the window seats I have seen. One
type has a flat carpeted surface; the other is a faux sheepskin hammock-like
style. We tried both at my sister's house, and the cats clearly preferred
the hammock-like style but they would readily use either. Her cats are
heavy and put quite a bit of stress on the one that we installed in a higher
window (because they had to leap to it), so we reinforced that one by
placing a C-clamp at each side.

If you are looking for a good cat tree, I suggest you look at
www.createacatcondo.com. I ordered my cat tree from them, and it is
wonderful -- very solid, sturdy, comes in various configurations, etc. They
definitely aren't cheap, but the price is very reasonable for the quality.
Moreover, the prices include shipping, and their units are delivered fully
assembled. You can see pictures of mine if you scroll down toward the
bottom of pictures in the second link under my signature.
