With a tweak or two, it's absolutely perfect and space-saving.
Update ~six weeks later: Suction cups still tightly in place. The integrity of my windows remains intact. Neighborhood Watch continues. It opens shop around 8AM each day and closes shop when the sun goes down. (Unless a perch is still occupied.) Original: Two cats, two perches. (Medium). The gray tabby is 8.7lbs, the tabico with three feet is 12.5lbs. VERY different body types; gray tabby is extremely long and narrow. Tabico is a floppy potato. They fit; they could probably both fit if they tried. Installation: Very simple. One allen wrench needed and included. Hammock: I forgot the stars glow because we never really have the opportunity to let catch light and then glow. It's a mildly lost perk but the print itself is cute, so no heartbreak here. That said, the hammock fabric is THIN. It zips onto and off of the frame - which makes it easy to wash - but it's literally just fuzzy fabric. I cut rectangles of 2" craft foam and stuffed each in the middle. Cats usage skyrocketed after that. Suction cups: dang good! After assembly, I cleaned the cups and windows, then installed. They feel very strong. Both cats can hop in and out without me worrying that I'll hear a "we just lost our security deposit" crash. That said, the frame that attaches to the window has two little white pegs that sit below the suction cups. In actual use, this means that it's a point of contact with the window pane - something I did not love! I trust the suction cups, I do not trust the integrity of a glass panel with a pressure point touching it when 12.5 pounds of three-footed potato parkours a hop into it. Solution? I left the little white pegs off and let that bottom pressure point of the frame sit against the non-glass bottom of my window itself. I included a photo of that. It functions exactly as I hoped - folds up so I can shut the blinds, folds down in the morning when my adorable ingrates are yelling to begin their shifts doing Neighborhood Watch. The tabico got a sign for her perch as the neighbors will stop and wave to her. With mild tweaks, these are perfect! The folding aspect really makes it worthwhile. Read more
