K&H Pet Products Kitty Sill Perch

I didn't this time for my new cat because I found Rikki, his predecessor—in the early days of his 7-year tenure with me—on his seat from the same manufacturer one very cold morning in front of the closed heavy curtains, practically against the glass instead of on the heated side of the room. So, the cold obviously didn't bother him in the least. But he spent a LOT of time on that seat, whereas Alexander, my current cat spends more time curled up in his donut shaped bed adjacent to that window. To be fair, cats do spend a lot of time sleeping, as you can see Rikki did in his much-loved cube bed which he took to instantly. It took Alexander some time to adjust to sleeping in his bed, though, instead of underneath my loveseat where he fled on his 1st day with me & remained for nearly 2 weeks. But I really expected him to love the windowsill seat also, & especially now that he's been with me for 2 months. Although he's shown sitting on it looking down at Forrest, my tree for all seasons, Alexander has no real affinity for it like Rikki did & it's hard not to think the lack of a heating pad to lure him & keep him there is the reason. I did try another brand of seat, but the fit with my sliding windows was poor, so I returned to K&H's product which I was able to secure with screws to my wood windowsill. Despite the difference in price, I do wish I'd gotten the heated version, though.
