Zakkart Cat Window Perch with Bolsters, L, Natural Wood/Gray, 24 x 15 in

This cat window perch measures 24 x 15 inches at the bed, and its bracket hooks onto the window slot rather than sitting on the sill. The hardwood and metal frame carries a stated maximum of 40 lbs, which covers most house-cats, and the bed lifts out for cleaning. It fits a window slot at least 0.5 inches deep, with a maximum sill depth of 9 inches.

The bed, the bolsters and the hook that holds it

The platform is a sewn-in sleeve-style bed that slides onto the frame, so the cushion stays put on the platform rather than being tied on. Natural colour hardwood and a metal frame make up the structure, and the bolster edges sit around the bed. The item stands 9 inches tall from the bottom of the bracket to the top of the bolster.

The hook that goes over the window slot is 0.08 inch thick. The adjustable bracket lets the perch sit at different setups, and you can move it from one window to another by lifting it up.

Checking your window before you buy

The perch needs a window slot at least 0.5 inches deep for the hook to go into, so measure that gap first. The sill below the window should be no deeper than 9 inches.

At 24 x 15 inches, the size L bed suits a single house-cat; the range also lists an XL bed at 26.4 x 15 inches. Weigh your cat against the 40 lbs the perch is rated to hold, and note that a cat close to that figure leaves little room on a size L platform.

What reviewers mention

Several reviewers mention that the perch is easy to assemble and that the build feels sturdy. Some note their cats took to it quickly, and a few with larger cats describe the hold as secure. Two reviewers say it fits wide window sills.

Washing the gray bed

The cushion comes off the frame for cleaning. The manufacturer's method is to take the bed out, wash it cold and tumble it dry on low, then put it back on the perch. Replacement beds can be bought separately when the original wears.
