What is a Cat Window Sill?

There are windows in almost every house, office or business building. The primary purpose of a window is to let in light. Many windows also let in air.

There are several component parts that make up each window. For example, the windowpane slides along within the window frame. The top horizontal section of the frame is known as the head, while the lower horizontal section is known as the sill.

Thus, a window sill can be defined as the flat piece of wood, stone or other solid material along the bottom of the window frame. Just as most people like a room with a view, cats tend to like a nice view.

Want a Happy Cat?

You've probably noticed that there are many cats that spend whole days looking out windows. Cats love not only the window view, but the varied temperatures they feel up against the window panes. Cat window sills are simply window seats with a view of the outer world for the pampered feline. The market for cat products is at an all time high. There are combos, soaps, bows, shampoos, ties and even window seats available for our felines.

Cats also gain a sense of security from being perched above ground level. Cat window seats can be fitted to window sills or can even be adjusted to fit in windows that do not have sills.

Cat window sill seats can be found made with many different materials in many different colors and patterns. Lets take a quick look at a few popular examples.

a) The cat hammock is a combination of a window perch and a sleeping hammock designed for your cat's senses of security and curiosity. It is movable and can fit in front of any window. For best cat satisfaction, place the cat hammock near warm air ducts.

b) The thermo kitty sill uses a thick orthopedic pad to pamper your cat. It has a removable, machine washable cover. It contains a thermostat element inside of its orthopedic foam. In the summer the heater can be removed.

c) The heated window sill cat bed can support over 40 pounds. It is easily assembled and adjustable to any windowsill. The key feature of this cat bed is that it will remain between 12 and 15 degrees above the ambient air temperature. When in use, the heated window sill will remain at about 102 degrees. This cat bed is perfect for year long indoor use.

Keep Flexibility in Mind

When you purchase a bed for your cat, you want to be sure to get a bed you can shape and mold to your cat's needs. When purchasing a cat window sill bed, buy one that is fixable with or without a window sill. It is also nice if that cat bed can be washed without having to remove the cover.
