Does your cat love looking out the window, but she doesn’t have a comfortable way to do so? Well, there are a variety of window perches designed just for felines, and they can give your pet the platform that she needs to keep an eye on what’s going on outside.

No matter which one you choose, it’s a good way to provide your pet with some environmental enrichment.

Your cat needs a variety of scratchers to satisfy her natural urge to stretch, scratch, and keep her claws healthy. What’s nice about the K&H Pet Products EZ Mount Scratcher Kitty Sill is that it doubles as a large, durable horizontal scratcher made of recyclable cardboard, so it does more than just give your cat a place to sit by the window.
