Cat Window Hammock with Suction Cups – Felt Window Perch Seat for Cats, Grey

Cat Window Hammock: A Sunny Lookout Spot for Your Cat

This cat window hammock gives your cat a cosy, elevated perch right against the glass, where it can soak up the sun and watch birds, people and passing traffic. The curved grey felt bowl attaches to the window with suction cups, creating a secure-feeling nest that cats love to curl up in. It takes up no floor or shelf space, making it a great option for apartments, units and smaller homes.

Why Cats Love Window Perches

Cats naturally seek out high vantage points and warm sunny spots. A window perch combines both, giving indoor cats a view of the outside world and plenty of mental stimulation from watching birds and movement. For indoor-only cats in Australia, a window seat is a simple way to enrich their day, reduce boredom and give them a spot of their own in the house.

Soft Felt Bowl With a Playful Touch

The hammock's curved, bowl-shaped body is made from soft felt that cradles your cat as it lounges. Cute paw-print cut-outs on the side add a playful look, and the neutral grey colour sits neatly against most window frames and interiors. At 67 x 25cm, it's roomy enough for most average-sized cats to stretch out or curl up.

How to Make Suction Cups Stick Firmly on a Window

Suction cups never grip permanently, but good preparation makes them hold much stronger and for longer.

1. Use smooth, flat glass: avoid textured, frosted, tinted-film or cracked glass, and choose a pane large enough for all the cups.
2. Clean thoroughly: wipe the glass and the suction cups with rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner to remove grease, dust and fingerprints, then let them dry.
3. Warm the cups: soften the cups in warm water for a minute so they seal better.
4. Press firmly: push each cup flat against the glass, squeezing out all the air, then tighten any locking knobs.
5. Test before use: press down firmly on the hammock with your hand, well above your cat's weight, before letting your cat use it.
6. Check regularly: re-press and re-seal the cups every week or two, and after any big temperature change.

Safety and Comfort Tips

Mount the hammock at a low height, ideally with a soft landing such as a rug or sofa below, in case a cup ever releases. Keep it on the inside of a closed window. In Australian summers, sun through glass can get very hot, so move the hammock to a shadier window, use a blind in the hottest part of the day, and make sure your cat always has water and a cooler spot to retreat to. Very large or energetic cats that jump onto the hammock at speed put more strain on suction cups, so check the fit more often.
