We have two cat trees and our cats use them all the time. They also sleep on random things like the couch, beds, kitchen tables, bath mats, etc.

With the windowsill ones watch the weights. We bought one but our 13# cat put an end to it really quickly. I've seen some that suction to the window and they might be sturdier.

Thank you for the reminder. Weight is definitely something to keep in mind. My cat doesn't look it but she weighs atleast 12 lbs.She's solid. lol.

If she's used to sitting in the window I would definitely go with the window attachment. Our cat is obsessed with her cat tree so we always have at least one around and keep it close to a window.

Our cat is a climber but usually in closets or on top of my armoire, but yes, windows are one of her favorite places. She has had a really hard time living at my MIL's where they kick her off of furniture constantly and don't have wide windowsills for her to relax on.
She has gotten creative over the past couple months and it"s always amusing.

My FIL was none too happy to see her in the windowsill.


ETA2:
She somehow squished her butt to fit on a 3 inch ledge.

Poor kitty! I'd go with a big tree then. They're so ugly but seriously the best!

If you are wanting something non traditional we have a short bookcase infront of two windows and our cats sit on those too.

My furniture placement is for the animals too I have a low table in front of the window in my office, one of the dogs and both cats are always jumping up there to watch the neighbor kids and the birds.

My cat is normally on couch, ottoman or any other fur collecting surface

[ladytiffany24]

My cats would rather snuggle on the back of the couch

[bex15]

ladytiffany24 that is so sweet!

I love the crazy cat lady thread

[rablissful]

I'm lazy and just have a random side table with a blanket on it in front of Ned's window. We're eventually going to build him a "tree" on the wall with a shelf that goes under the window.


He's a crazy window cat like Apricot. Open a window and he will come barreling down the hall to jump in it.

onesweetworld why orange only? I have my first kitten now and loved of course but are the really better in general?

[wannabmama]

My cat hates me and scoffs at most everything I've ever bought her, but she does like a cheap bed I got her that is set up near the window, which she looks out of while plotting my death.
But I've loved seeing all your spoiled cats and their palaces. Spoiled happy kitties!

onesweetworld - I highly recommend the original scratch lounge if you don't have one yet. We have 2. You can take the scratch pads out of the box and flip them after they have been used.

SPOILER: Click to show

Hmmmmm....I wonder if they would use that! I might have to order some. 

My cat loves the Kong incline scratcher..

ETA 2: She's a little too big to fit through that hole. Usually, she sits on it backwards to scratch.

I would totally do this if I was a DIY-er and DH would allow it!

If we weren't renting I would totally do something like that.

We're going to do something very similar to this, but as of right now no ceiling shelves. Just a whole bunch in a corner going up. I plan on carpeting a few and making some food dish holes that will fit in one, maybe attaching a bed. The shelf that will go under the window I'll probably do some upholstery on.

Spoiled cat is spoiled.

I had a black cat growing up and she was okay. When I met my FIL's orange cat (OC), I had to have one. Then we rescued Lucy the barn cat at roughly 6 months old and we became obsessed with her. She is the best thing since sliced bread.



When we bought our house I wanted another orange for a friend for her and my mom shared a picture of sisters that had to be adopted together on my Facebook wall. I got off a plane and went to this lady's house and adopted Ruby & Winnie.



And then I went back to the farm to get @wallflwr926 a cat. I was supposed to take 3 babies to get fixed and I'd keep a female. Then I saw a polydactyl and I had to have it. Male or female. The farmer promised the other two cats to his niece so I only took one to get fixed. And long story short, we have baby Rusty (now 1)

We had one. Lucy played with the ball inside and never scratched it.

onesweetworld, your cats are adorable. And two female orange cats - how special!

So basically, she stole my cat.
