    The favorite part of Abby’s day (besides couch snuggles) is taking in the view from my office window. Basting in the sun with a cool breeze running through her whiskers –  it’s a slice of kitty heaven.

    It wasn’t until after moving in that we realized our new apartment had no window sills. I felt like the worst cat mom, so I quickly scoured the internet for the best cat perch that would fit our window frame. There were lots of contenders be we finally found the perfect fit for us.

    There are plenty of comfy, convenient and safe cat window perches but here are our favorites!

No wonder she gives you the side-eye when you expect her to curl up just anywhere, like some run-of-the-mill mammal. Build your domestic deity a place in the sun with a window seat that lets her scale new heights, settles in, and dream of the good old days.

    The Perfect Spot

    After choosing the best window cat perch for your fur baby, now you need to find the most optimal place to put it. You want to choose a spot with the most sun and outside action.

    I have mine facing the backyard where there are lots of tall trees and birds flying pretty close to the window. The fire escape is also close and that’s where the squirrels like to hang out. Abby goes crazy! You can even add a bird feeder outside the winder your their cat can watch birds.
