Pefuny’s window perch is an ingenious pet accessory that makes every catnap a splendid experience. This perch’s main appeal lies in its rigid lining material that’s resistant to moisture and clawing. While it may seem too firm for lounging, the fabric seat loosens with time. Most importantly, it provides a stable landing area for jumping cats. If you want your fuzzy friend to relax and soak in some vitamin D, this platform will quickly become the best seat in the house.
Pros:
- Reinforced PVC frame with extra joints keeps the platform level during rough landing
- Platform’s lining is free of static cling
- Acrylic buckles won’t warp or splinter if cats get their teeth on them
Cons:
- Flannel pad is a nice touch, but its narrow dimensions prevent it from covering every corner of the perch
Pupagree Cat Window Bed
If stuck inside for too long, indoor cats might pine for the great outdoors. This nifty seat can offer them panoramic 360° views right from your window, so they can get a taste of the outside world until the time comes for them to roam. This sturdy design will stay put if installed correctly, thanks to reinforced connectors and a durable 2mm steel wire that will resist any of your cat’s attempts to scratch or bite through.
Pros:
- Mat is easily removable
- Extra flannel mat serves as a comfy underlayer or a warming blanket
- Compact dimensions also make this a suitable choice for windows mounted on doors
Cons:
- Tight-fitting inner fabric makes this a little tricky to assemble
When their exercise is limited, domesticated housecats tend to put on weight quickly. Luckily, regardless of how chunky your companion gets, Zalalova can accommodate curious cats of all breeds. The secret to their eye-popping 60-pound weight limit lies in an anchor that touts impressively wide suction cups. Best of all, if your perch loses its hold, the twisting lock instantly eliminates slack without cleaning your window or realigning the cups.
Pros:
- Loose nylon weave has wider holes for air circulation
- One upper suction cup supports the bed without dropping, a convenient factor for narrow and tapered windows
- You can remove the PVC frame from the lower suction cups without fully disassembling the bed
Cons:
- If you have more than two cats, this perch may be too narrow

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my cat window bed clean?
In general, the lining of cat beds is often built using polyester blends that are easy to maintain with a damp cloth and minimal soap. However, numerous products feature thick external pads that require more frequent deep cleanings to stop bacterial growth. With that said, we recommend checking on your pet’s bed linens twice a month. If your primary issue is shedding fur, a lint roller is your best bet for removing hair without damaging the fabric. In response to more persistent stains, set your washer to its most gentile setting and only use cold water.
What’s the key to applying a suction cup correctly?
Suction cups rely on an unbroken pocket of low air pressure to support lofty weights. While achieving a lasting hold depends significantly on the cleanliness of your anchor point and cup, your choice of surface material is equally important. Exteriors made of glass, tile, and metal are ideal because their surfaces are non-porous and virtually airtight. Before installing your device, clean your mounting surface with rubbing alcohol and your suction cups with warm water. Once both are relatively dry, press down on the cup to remove all air pockets and wait 24 hours to ensure the maximum strength hold.
