Cats are curious by nature, knowing exactly what they want and when they want it. So when it comes to cat naps and giving your feline some space, we know it can be tricky setting boundaries. To avoid more claws on your furniture, gift your pet a window perch in place of that seat on your couch! Joel Dickstein, Founder and CEO of Mau, explains, “A window perch is a great way to give indoor cats the mental and physical stimulation they need.”
And if you’re keen on design—great news! There are functional and chic window perches that won’t throw off your decor. Choose anything from minimalist perches to playful boho silhouettes. Your feline can stretch, spy on your neighbor’s renovation, or sleep in peace thanks to the elevated options we listed below. Finally, you can also nap without keeping one eye open to see what your cat is up to. Sweet dreams for you both, indeed.

How To Choose a Cat Window Perch
Dickstein advises: When finding the right window perch for your feline, it’s important to consider the following: your cat’s weight, the size and sturdiness of the perch, and, of course, its design to compliment your home.
Cunningham shares these tips:
You want to ensure the perch can bear enough weight to support your cat. We recommend at least 1.5x the weight of your cat (but ideally 2x in case.
Secondly, consider installation. Many perches require mounting to a wall, so make sure you feel comfortable with that process before purchasing.
Finally, check out the size of the perch. Some perches are a lot smaller in person than they look in the photos.
