Buying Guide

Before selecting a new window hammock take a few minutes to read through our buying guide. Keep these considerations in mind when you select the product you plan to get for your cats.

Why Should I Get a Window Perch?

If you’ve noticed your cat loves looking out the window, they’re likely to love a new window perch. They’ll be able to feel like they’re in the center of the action watching everything that is going on around them. Additionally, most cats enjoy a good sunbath, and they’ll be able to get lots of direct sun when they spread out on their window hammock.

Getting a window seat can help contribute to their overall health. They’ll need to jump up onto their perch, which will keep them more active. Additionally, since they’ll have a preferred spot where they can watch what’s going on, it may be less likely that they’ll get into other trouble.

A perch can function as a retreat for your cat. They’ll be able to jump up and get away from other pets, children, or other perceive threats.

Style

First, decide which type of product you’d like to get your cat. Do you want a perch that attaches to the window using suction cups, one that sits on the window sill, or something that your cat can use on the floor beneath the window? Think about your cats’ preferences as you make this decision.

Weight Limit

Before you make a purchase, be sure to pay close attention to the weight limit. Consider how many cats will be using the perch and how much each cat weighs. Be sure to pick something that is rated to hold more weight that you’ll actually need, as an added safety measure.

Size

Next, you will want to pay attention to the size of the hammock and look to see if there are different size options available.

How large is each of your cats? Do you think two cats are likely to be sharing the space together at the same time? Be sure to pick something that will help meet any possible scenarios you may encounter with your cats.

Durability/Materials

You will also want to take note of the materials that were used to make the products you are considering. Be sure to pick something that is made using high-quality materials that will hold up to your cat jumping up and down from the perch.

If you are selecting an option that secures to your window using suction cups, you will also want to pay attention to the durability of the wires that attach the perch to the suction cups. If one of these breaks, the whole perch could pop off the wall and potentially injure your cat.

Comfort

Another important consideration to make is how comfortable the perch will be for your kitty. Size plays a part in this decision, but so does the material covering the base of the product. Look for something that is soft and fluffy that your cat will enjoy cuddling up against. One way to figure out what your cat prefers is to consider which type of cat bed she has and where else she tends to hang out. If you have a condo for cats or cage, then the way you have it set up can also give you ideas about which perch might fit best.

Ease of Cleaning

As with any products you buy for your cat, you want to look for a perch will be easy to clean. Look for options that can be wiped down or include a removable covered that can be washed in the washing machine. You’ll definitely thank yourself later for choosing an option that is quick and easy to clean.

Foldable

If the perch attaches to your window using suction cups, you may want to look for an option that can fold up to allow you to close your blinds or curtains without taking the perch down. For example, if you close your blinds every evening, you’ll quickly get tired of taking the perch down and having to put it back up every day. A foldable option can stay in place, while also allowing you to close your curtains or blinds for privacy or light control.

Designs/Colors

Finally, consider the overall look of the products you are purchasing. This product will be prominently displayed in your home, so you might as well choose something that will look like it belongs in your space.
