We had window shelves previously that were up for many years. After we had to take them down to replace and repaint windows and trim, we looked for new ones. We bought these, trusting Chewy and K&H Pet Products. We got them up easily and chose not to use screws, but instead use the adhesive tape. This is how the others were up so we thought this would work. Well, after it took our cats enough time to trust the smell of the new shelves and start using them, the first one came down with a cat on it within a month. It’s now been about 3-4 months since they started using them (9 months since putting them up) and the second one has now fallen with a cat on it.

I might have to buy another one or two or three of these. My two cats both love this, and there are some dirty looks exchanged when one shows up and finds it already occupied by the other. Not being sure where this would finally end up, I installed it using 3M Command Strips and it's holding well.

I was very excited to receive my new cat perch as my previous perch with suction cups would not hold my 12 lb cat. Unfortunately there is a strong chemical smell that has not gone away even after days of airing out the plastic platform and machine washing the cover. I cannot use as it makes the whole room smell of chemicals. So disappointed.

My cat loves this! He always spent his days at the window, trying to sit on the metal sill. I'd previously bought a perch that suctioned to the window glass which he had no interest in, so I was a bit worried about trying another, but he can't get enough of this one! Spends the whole day on it. I opted to drill it into the sill rather than tape and it was very easy. Great product.

I brought a deaf cat home from a shelter and unlike most cats he didn’t check out the window ledges until he was with me for a couple of days (I guess everything was too overwhelming.Once he discovered the shelf and felt safe there it became his preferred sleeping place at night.He sleeps all different places during the day but when I get up at night he’s always on his little shelf...IF he’s sleeping! I was leery at first using just the tape but it holds strong and secure and he’s 15 lbs. I would recommend putting a towel on top so you don’t have to take the cover on and off to wash.

This shelf opened a whole new world for my fur baby Because of his size, 25 lbs, was not sure if it would work for him. No worries at all plan on getting another for him soon. Again, chewy.com, you have come way above any expectations.

My old man kitty Mr. Henry, 15+ lbs, 10 yrs old, took to this right away. He’s so close to the big tree outside now he’s in nirvana in his own little tree house watching birds and squirrels. I’m on the third floor so he’s really happy feeling close to the “nature” of the outside world!

After watching my cat try to find room to curl up in a ball on her favorite window sill, I found this. It was easy to install and took only a minute or two. I put her on it, and fully expected her to turn her pretty little nose up at it because it wasn't her idea. Not this time, she sniffed it a bit, rolled up in a happy little fur ball, and has been loving it for several days now. Great product!

It took Baby about a week to try out her new perch and now she loves it. She watches the birds, flag and wind chimes moving with the wind. Now that the leaves are falling, she spends more time watching them.

as you can see, they’re quite pleased with their new perch! I am only using the Velcro/sticky option and yet it seems to be supporting both of them just fine (probably close to 20lbs combined) very happy with my purchase
