Product Description
BLACK Color Kitty Cot Original (Large) measures 25-1/2″ wide x 14″ deep (width measured from outside edges of suction cups on Kitty Cot). Actual frame dimension is 14" x 23-1/2". Minimum window glass for use is 25" wide x 21" high. Kitty Cots attach to glass windows, mirrors and smooth non-porous surfaces using four PATENTED Giant Suction Cups made in the USA. Each cup is rated for 12 pounds so the Kitty Cot will hold about 25 pounds of cat(s). Kitty Cots work indoors and outdoors. The frame is made of PVC plastic pipe and fittings. It’s not glued together so it can be taken apart. The Kitty Cot hammock is a super-tough black nylon fabric called “Tiger-Mesh”. It’s so strong that it’s virtually impossible to rip or tear, and cleans easily with soap and water. Our design is so simple that anyone can put it up, and best of all you need no tools to install it. Lay your cat's favorite blanket or pad down to make it even more bed-like and comfortable. Install it next to an outside bird feeder or another action location and your cat will be entertained for hours. Tips on Using Suction Cups: The care and use of suction cups is very simple. Make sure the suction cup is clean and free from debris. If the suction cup needs to be cleaned, wash in warm soapy water then dry gently with a lint-free cloth. Clean the surface you are applying the suction cup to. It won’t adhere well to a dirty surface. To enhance suction, a tiny dab of Vaseline or cooking oil may be rubbed on the rim of the cup. Press the cup all the way down, against the surface. The suction cup may need to be “burped” periodically by pressing down on it to remove any air that may have seeped in. Temperature and humidity variations may make a suction cup lose its grip. If bonded above 40 degrees Fahrenheit the cup will provide the most reliable service from -22 degrees to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. To remove the cup, simply pull up on the release tab to break the suction.
Important information
Mounts to Windows with Giant Patented Suction Cups and no tools or assembly required.
We use what we think are absolutely the best USA Made Suction Cups for the Kitty Cot made by Adams Manufacturing. That said, the nature of suction cups in general is that they occasionally disengage from glass and non-porous surfaces. The best thing you can do as the owner of your Kitty Cot(s) is to daily check and make sure that the suction cups are well secured to the glass. It is up to you to check the suction cups regularly and replace them if they have extensive wear. We accept no responsibility for injuries or damage to windows, pets, animals, people, places and things. If you are concerned about mounting the Kitty Cot(s) on your window(s) for any reason even window warranties, then we recommend you buy or use a different cat perch that does not mount on windows with suction cups. Thanks, and enjoy!

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.

Update: I’ve now had the kitty cot a few years. My old bud passed away and I currently have 2 new spunky dudes. The 15lb cat sits on this daily and sometimes my 11lb boy joins him. My apartment has a window overlooking a dog park so the cats are highly entertained. I have a cat tree a couple feet away and the top seat on that is a couple feet higher than this window perch. My 15lb boy regularly takes a flying leap off the cat tree and onto this window perch. Whew! It holds up remarkably well. I have bought replacement suction cups about every 18months.
They've since come out with an adjustable model that will work on a window not so wide; I'll buy one of those next.
Later edit to review; original review written 15 months ago.
I'd like to up my rating from 5 stars to more than 5. The software doesn't allow that, but I do love this product. I also like the fact that its invented and made by a guy in the USA that did the equivalent of making a better paperclip. Wonderful product. So glad to see it survive the many cheap knock off products that have tried to steal its basic idea and cheapen up the materials/workmanship/support.
I have 2 big Maine Coons (the largest breed of housecat, with a bit more wild in them than most cats) in one room with the Kitty Cot. They don't have to fight over it; big as they are, they share it. I've seen a cheap knockoff product rated to 20 #.... My larger Maine Coon is 17# now unaltered and skinny but huge with giant claws, teeth, whiskers and ears, compared to most cats. He'll likely be 25-30 # later in life after altering.
With the Kitty Cot I don't need to worry about them falling; its solid. One point on that though; do use windex to clean glass and suction cups and let them dry. It'll be solid.
So, 15 months later, my large male has slightly frayed one corner of the fabric, tough as it is. I'm surprised. I'm pretty sure most cats claws will now wear this fabric much; its amazingly tough. I wrote to James Howard, inventor and maker of the Kitty Cot. I told him I was happy with his product, but a year later there was a tiny bit of wear in one corner, and I sent a picture.
Well I guess I was right; not many cats can hurt that tough fabric; Howard immediately provided a replacement fabric, so now my Kitty cot will look brand new again.
I've been a cat person now for over half a century. I will never again be without a Kitty Cot in my favorite room, or two. Or three...... Got lots of windows.... ;-)
Mr. James Howard, thank you for making such a fine product, one that cats truly like, use, and treasure. And also for providing first class support.

Added:
I just added picture #2. It shows the new blue fabric, plus 21# of Maine Coon kitten just 8 months old, yet they weigh 7 & 14 #, respectively.
My Kitty Cots (yes, plural) are strong enough for these cats, and still will be when full grown, and massive.
Never skip the #1 rule of applying this to a window: Do Not forget to Windex, First. Especially if you have big cats. :-)
