My cats love it!
I have had this for over a year now and all three of my cats absolutely love it. It’s very sturdy as you can see in the photo two of my cats love to lay on it together. Easy to replace the board out when needed but I’ve only needed to once since I got it. Definitely worth the money for the kitties.

Reasonable and loved by our cats!
I just ordered 2 more of them! I got the first one a few years ago and it is so sturdy and still working great! We got 2 more cats and I need the new ones to make more options for cat perches. If you have window space, this is the cat shelf/ scratcher you need in your life!!
Wonderful product
I've had this shelf for nearly three years and have used it for four separate cats. It's simply fantastic. The suction cups are incredibly robust, the scratcher is holding up so well, and it stands up to my terrors of cats. The 13 lb cat likes to launch herself on and off of it. The other one likes to chew on the wires and I've not seen any damage done to them. I highly recommend this product. It is completely worth the money.

Mostly great, a few caveats
My cats love this perch! We have it on the back glass storm door and they love to sit on it and watch the birds when the main door is open.
It does have a few things that could be better:
1. it's a bit cumbersome to flip the perch up so that the door (or your blinds, if in a window) can be closed. You basically have to tie the support wires in a knot around the frame. The instructions weren't great so I reached out to K&H and they sent me the attached photo and instructions:
"You want to push up the cradle base and tuck it under the suction cup, pull the slack of the wire, looping around the metal frame and using a loop knot to hold it in place."
Again, not as quick & easy as I was expecting, but it does stay up. I am concerned that doing this nearly daily will cause the wires to give out sooner or later. I may get some little s-biner clips to clip the loop on the suction cup to the frame and see if that works better.
You may also need to take the cradle out if you want it to take up less space when up.
2. The cradle isn't very secure on the base. It just has holes that sit on the wire frame. It isn't a huge issue, but my cats will sometimes launch themselves off it and scooch the cradle out of place.
3. I don't love having the wires up above; they get in the cats' way sometimes.
However, the suction cups are staying put very well (I cleaned the window well with alcohol and warmed the suction cups before applying), and my cats both enjoy perching in the window and being able to scratch the material. I'm sure I'll have to buy replacements at some point.

Shocked
This is the first cat product my sassy Siamese has ever liked. I can’t believe it. She needs a chair to hop into it (she’s no climber). She’s about 13lbs and fills it up. She loves it in the afternoon sun. I put treats on here to entice her in the beginning. Super happy with this product!
Cannot Praise Enough
I got this seat twice. Once for my cat, then later for my sister’s. This swing has migrated across several windows in the last 2 years and stood the test of time. Now having 2 cats roughly 13 lbs each, they will have full-on wrestling matches on this thing and it has not budged an inch. My sister’s cat is 35 lbs and loves his window seat, launching himself into it with complete ease, never so much as a slip.
The cardboard insert is perfect, the cats love scenting and rubbing on it, it hold catnip well enough, and the more bite-y cats chew it up with joy, curbing their tendency to bite during pets. I have only had to replace the insert once so far, and will continue to as long as the product is sold.
I recommend this product to every cat owner I know. Simple & easy set up, one time larger purchase (minute yearly repurchase of the insert) that will last for a long time, no matter how big, rambunctious or many the cat(s).

Great purchase!
My cats immediately loved this as soon as we put it up. They love scratching it and it's now one of their new favorite nap spots. I would say this is a perfect size for a regular sized cat; if your cat is huge, this may not be big enough for them to comfortably lay on. Then again, cats will fit anywhere they want. The only drawback is when it's cold outside, the suction cups didn't stick as well. But it has warmed up now and we haven't had a problem since. If you live where it's cold, you might need to somehow reinforce the suction cups.
love these
If my place weren't already overrun with cat furnishings, I would have one of these at every window. I have three; one for each cat. I started with one, but they all loved them so much they would fight over it. The suction is amazing as well. I put them as high as they can go on my windows. Sometimes I switch up the spots and the suction still works just as well.
They love to nap and sun bathe on them, jump on them while playing or mid zoomies, scratch on them, sit on them and stare out the window to watch me feed the ferals in utter contempt, etc. Their favorite is when I stick a ziptie through the cardboard and play peek a boo with the ziptie.
They also have replacements if you have a gremlin like my Goose (white cat) who tears it up. Very easy to switch out. I bought one for my mom's cat and my friends cat. Do your cat a favor and get it. Tell them I say sps sps

Still going strong
I ordered this in 2019, it's now 2023 and we've been using our originally purchased item (I've replaced the cardboard once) throughout. The cats love it, in fact, I'm back to buy another so they can both lounge at the same time. Truly a great buy, can't recommend enough.
This has become my cat’s favorite perch.
Just make sure the window is freshly cleaned so the cups attach firmly.
