   I got this for my mother who has rather large cats. The other ones I looked at on Amazon and in the pet stores used Velcro tape to attach the perch to the windowsill. I just don’t think that’s going to be good enough when a big cat keeps jumping up on this thing. The Velcro may hold, but the glue on the tape won’t after awhile. And then you’d have to screw it to the sill to make it permanent. I wanted one that fit in the window frame, like this one. Just be aware that if you have replacement windows (the kind where they leave your frame intact and put a new window inside of that) with a ridge that sticks up above the wooden sill, this won’t work when the window’s closed. My mom has both kinds of windows, and she quickly discovered this. It will work when it’s open, though. She likes it because she can move it around to different windows through the year, depending on where the sun is. And it is plenty long and sturdy enough for her big boys. She’s very happy with the quality, and her cats love it.

   I’ve had quite a few window perches for cats; some I’ve had to return as too flimsy, badly designed, etc. Some come without instructions. Some fall off when the cat jumps on, or (worse yet) when they’re snoozing 3′ off the ground. One popular, but badly designed one, uses velcro. Skip all those; this is the best I’ve seen by far. The competing products have flimsy flexible plastic “legs” that bend alarmingly and/or deposit the cat on the floor. On this product the “legs” are angle-cut 2x4s nicely covered in carpet (they even cut a neat flap for the screw). These babies can take far, far more load than even a large cat jumping on it. The quality of materials, the sensible, solid design (it is way overbuilt and will NOT fall off or wear out), the clear instructions, and the size of this (I actually got the “extra large”; at 36 x 12.5″ it is the only cat toy we have that is bigger than our Maine Coon needs; I think two could fit on the extra large). I was a little hesitant because of the cost, but I can’t recommend it highly enough (although Amazon’s price is not the best when I last checked, although that’s certainly the most convenient way to get it). Your time is money; don’t be penny wise and pound foolish getting a cheaper one. I think I’ll get another for the other room, in fact. The speckled sand one even fits our “std apartment beige carpet and offwhite paint” color scheme perfectly.

   Its perfect. Two cat fit on it if they wish. The window we wanted for was a picture window that did not open. But a couple of small screws into the frame and it was ready to go.

   I have an older, huge cat. He hasn’t used it much since I think that he doesn’t entirely trust “something” new, but three times he’s been there he watches all the birds & squirrels & quail & turkeys in our yard. I know he likes it, but maybe he has kitty alzheimers?

   My cat loves this large sized, sturdy window perch made of solid wood and nicely carpeted. Only issue was that the installation was a bit frustrating. My husband and I had to do a creative work-a-around but once we secured it, we were very pleased.
