Can't remember the name of the post but someone wanted ideas regarding cat windowsill seats. Got this in an email:
Hilary from Vancouver created this pair of window perches for her two boys Hank (orange) and Truman (Tuxedo) and they seem to be a perfect fit! She used the trusty old IKEA Ekby Bjarnum brackets and Jarpen shelves mounted just below the window sill. To create cozy cushions that don’t slide off the shelves, Hilary smartly stitched some twill tape to the corners of two faux sheepskin cat beds and tied the beds to the shelves. Nice solution! And they can be easily removed for cleaning.

that's a great idea, and has the merit of minimizing the amount of light blocked out by the cats, which is usually a problem with beds actually on a windowsill, or an activity centre put in front of the window

excellent idea, got to move soon so something for the new place, or maybe I'll get somewhere with deep sills :)

It was me that posted about them for Willow. Thanks anyway.
I wanted one for outside. I bought a deep shelf and 2 clamps from B&Q but took them back for a refund as they were never used :(

Oh Mark, I am sorry. :hug: I couldn't remember which cat it was for but I remembered it was you.
I think it's a great idea, not so sure my landlord would though....

No problem :hug:
They might come in handy if we get rid of the sofa in the bay window in the kitchen as Kylie likes to keep track of invading cats from there :evillaugh:
These look quite good - this is the cheapest. There are 3 sellers and one of them is charging £18.99 for the same thing + their postage is higher than this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cosy-Place-Window-Seal-Seat-Board-Cat-Kitten-Pet-Bed_W0QQitemZ120537082804QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Cats?hash=item1c1091ebb4#ht_1006wt_941
