Window Perches for Your Kitty to Sit Pretty

What’s better than lying in a sun-drenched spot, watching the world go by? Not much, if you’re a cat. That’s why window perches are so popular with our feline friends.

Enriching a cat’s environment by offering perches to sleep on, objects to climb and things to watch provides him both mental and physical benefits. And, happily, there are a number of options, so one is sure to work in your home.

Kitty Sill Deluxe

The super-soft microfleece-lined Kitty Sill Deluxe has a special feature: a zip-off bolster. Providing security for your cat and peace of mind for you, the bolster also gives your cat extra cushion and comfort. And, boy, do we know how cats like comfort!
