This is adorable!! -
Cute! Both Perch AND cat! -
Looks nice, sturdy and easy to clean. i had purchased similar from a catalog years ago - real flimsy. nice work. -
LOL Roeshel! I'm thinking you have one spoiled cat! Too cute, though ... -
I love it! I just had my husband "make" a shelf for our cat. It is rustic, to say the least! But Pumpkin loves it, so it's can't be too bad. Would never have thought to do a shelf with shelf brackets. -
So cute! My little Cairn Terrier would LOVE one of these :) -
Very cute and clever, Roeshel- just like you! ;) -
My old cat, Casey O'Toole, would have loved this! -
Fantastic idea. Mine are from a catalog too. Another idea - purchase adjustable screens, so when the windows are open, the good screens won't experience claw holes. -
@ Linda, it is the nature of the "beast" to be spoiled. I have had many cats over the years (currently 6) and every one is/has been "one spoiled cat" :) -
Roeshel - what a great "staging area" you've created for Pussy Galore!! Don't know it its male or female but whichever, she's gorgeous and you've honored her beautifully. Lalka sounds female to me but what do I know?? Beautiful!! -
Yes, Susan, she's a female. "Lalka" is Polish for "doll". :) -
I love this..so much more style and personality! and the perch aint bad either! haha! Seriously, great idea! I may go back to good will and pick up that old tray I passed over... -
For the Polish doll - that is a Pedestal for her position of high regard or adoration - not an ordinary Perch/window seat. Now all she needs is a tiara. So cute. -
haha, Sherrie! She does think she's royalty. ;)

nice job -
Great idea! -
Great idea!! -
Great money saver thank you! Plan on attempting this, although I have 4 cats and only 2 different windows available for perching; right now they compete over one window sill!!! I have a cat with the same markings as 'Lalka' she is gorgeous, unfortunately she was from a feral litter and still is not socialized to people. Another task to tackle! -
Good luck, Audrey. Covering a board cut to fit inside your window frame and covering it with batting and fabric works too!

DIY Show Off I definitely am going to do this...my cat is 19, and cant get up to the window sill anymore, so I assume I will have to do some sort of stairway.. we live in a mobile home and the walls are not much for screws nails etc. Any ideas? I think I can probably use cabinet doors from habitat for humanity.. -
Bernice, I've lived in a mobile home before too - it's a challenge sometimes. Have you tried Molly anchors (http://www.amazon.com/40-Piece-Molly-Bolt-Set/dp/B0026C72X8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355698115&sr=8-1&keywords=molly+anchor) or toggle bolts before?

This is wonderful idea!
