Top-Rated Cat Window Perch and Cat Shelf Reviews

A cat window perch offers everything your cat or kitten prefers--a great view of the goings-on outside and a cozy spot off the floor.

After all, cats love (almost) nothing more than to lay in front of a sunny window for a snooze!

I've scoured the market to find the highest-quality cat window shelf reviews and have listed the best of them below.

I've listed pros and cons for each cat shelf, along with links if you decide to look into each cat window perch more thoroughly before you purchase.

CD Pets Large Padded Cat Window Perch

With the Large Padded Cat Window Perch you get what you pay for with convenience and strength.

This cat window perch comes with a 1-inch comfort foam pad and carpeted supports. It is so sturdy, cats can jump on it without feeling any movement.

It is removed from the window easily, simply by unclipping. No Velcro or screws are needed for installation.

The carpeted supports may not be the easiest things to look at, but they canbecome a makeshift scratching post if the perch is not placed too high—one more appropriate scratching surface is a good thing!

PROS

Extremely stable: clips to the track of the window itself

Easily removable since no hardware is required

Holds over 20 lbs

Deep enough for cats that like to sprawl

CONS

Bulky, unsophisticated design

Low-grade carpet covering

Pricey

Lazy Pet Window Chaise

This sophisticated Lazy Pet Cat Chaise is as popular with cats as it is with their owners!

The side bolsters give cats a sense of security without blocking their view, and the steel construction isn’t found much in cat window perches.

Most who buy say that a little extra weight support is needed (more Velcro, use of the screws, etc.) but once in place, can hold over 20 pounds of cat(s).

PROS

Cute Design, looks like a miniature piece of furniture

Supported by sturdy steel construction

Thick foam cushion

Soft, microsuede bolsters

CONS

Velcro should be stronger, but attaching more seems to work

Inside foam may need to be replaced after a lot of use

Monitor your cat’s behavior around it in the beginning to make sure the wires are not going to be a hazard.

Suction cups allow perch to attach to any part of a double-paned window or sliding glass door—no window sill needed

Extremely Stable, supporting up to 50 lbs

No screws needed, easy installation

CONS

Takes some time to put together

Takes up more vertical space on the window, due to attached wires

Wires could be a safety concern
