5.0 out of 5 starsLoved it so much I ordered another (but also should have measured before buying!)

Love it! Super easy to set up and my kitten loves it. I didn’t measure my window (d’oh!) so the large one is too big for the window I wanted to put it on, but it’s worked out nicely to put it on my sliding glass door. With a little “catification” I was able to create a way for her to get up this high and she can see over our fence where all the cars and people go by. It also gives her a nice view of our kitchen and living room so she can keep an eye on us.
Of course she is a kitten so she has already tried chewing the wires and the PVC pipe as well as scratching the hammock. But so far, so good: I think the materials really discourage her from keeping it up for too long and they seem sturdy enough to withstand it. I didn’t need to put a blanket on it for her to start using it, but I think I’ll purchase a small one to make it a little more comfortable and warm.
Last night, I was easily able to detach the non-wired suction cups so I could close the blinds. And this morning it was super easy to reattach them. So I measured my window and found that the small cot will be the best fit for it; I ordered it right away since I know it’ll be easy to set up and a big hit with kitten.
This is a must have for apartment dwellers since we can’t really nail things to the wall. This is going to allow me to give my kitten an extra level up from the cat trees I have in front of my bedroom and living room windows. Although this one is a little more expensive than others out there, it does seem to be constructed from more durable materials. Given how my kitten immediately started clawing and biting it, I’m glad I didn’t go with one of the others that might not have withstood that.
Last piece of advice: MEASURE YOUR WINDOW FIRST! 😁 It all worked out for me but especially if you have a window that slides open horizontally, you have to measure just one side of the window: this won’t be stable enough if you try to use it across the two parts of the window since the two sides are not flush with each other. I found that one of the suction cups just didn’t stick as securely because of it, so I used a different window for this one and ordered the small cot which will fit on the sliding part of the window.
