When mom was in southern California packing up the rest of our belongings, she attended a fund raising event 
where she won some great stuff including the Catification book by Jackson Galaxy and Kate Benjamin. (You may have read about this on my Facebook page.) I said when I heard about this that I hoped her first project at the new house would be a window shelf. Well, guess what. It was!
We have three great towers that are at window level, but only two are over the wall heaters where it is always toasty warm. Those are the two we like best but there are three of us. Someone is always left out. It is usually Echo because if he has a spot, Ocean will push him off if he decides he wants it. I don’t put up with that from Ocean but Echo is such a gentle soul that he just lets Ocean have whatever he wants.
Mom did some research and settled on a shelf that had good reviews for safety and stability as well as ease of installation. When she ordered it, Amazon said it would arrive this week sometime but it arrived on Saturday. It was raining that day and our mail box is in a small bank of boxes down the street. They called from the post office to be sure mom was home so they could deliver it to the house and not leave it out in the rain. Mom says you’ve got to love a small town.
When mom opened the package, of course we all had to inspect the box. It seemed like it was packaged very securely. I claimed the paper fort and defended it from all attackers while mom assembled the shelf.
First I had to inspect the box
Then Ocean had to inspect it
I defended my paper fort from all attackers
Even Ocean couldn’t drive me out
It looked like it couldn’t have been much easier to assemble. Absolutely no tools required – not even a screw driver. The hardest part was waiting the eight hours for the tape to set up before the shelf could actually be put on for us to try out. By that time, it was dark out and there was nothing for us to see out the window. Not the best planning, mom.
The next day, I tried it out first thing and claimed it as mine. I stayed there almost all day. The minute I left, who do you think took it over? You guessed it. Ocean. We kind of take turns now and I don’t mind sharing.
Can’t wait to see what the next catification project is!

Way to defend the fort! Glad everyone has a spot now too 🙂
I’m actually going to look into this. I’ve been wanting to get Truffles a window perch but I hate the idea of having to screw it into the wall. Sounds like this one doesn’t require that!
No screwing into the wall! Super sticky velcro tape goes on the window sill. This is supposed to be fairly easily removed if ever needed.
We have that same window seat! It is great. Or it was…. unfortunately our new house doesn’t have window sills. Can you believe it?! Lots of windows, but no window sills!! So there is nothing to attach it to. Right now it is sitting in a closet in hopes that one day it will be useable again!
Oh no! Sounds like it is time for a shelf by the window!

How cool ! What’s next ? Purrs
I have a window shelf and I love it. I’m hoping mom will put another one in our bathroom because I’m just a little to big for the narrow window sill.
Wowwie! That is one cool shelf! We has a hammock that attaches to the window. Ninja has one in him and my human brother’s bedroom and wes has one in the dining room, and they is right over the radiator and wes LOVES them! There is nothing like a heated bed!
Enjoy and tells us about your bird TV!

Thanks for stopping by, Nellie! Yes, the heated beds are super, especially since we’ve had some pretty cold nights. Bird TV coming up later this week!
What a cool shelf! You can see all sorts of stuff outside when you’re sitting there. It looks like you’re all gonna really like your new house.
We love it so far and I think it is only going to get better as we get more settled and mom gets more catification projects done!

Hi girls. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry your perch doesn’t work anymore. This shelf is supposed to hold up to 25 pounds but they make a slightly larger one for multiple cats that is supposed to hold up to 65 pounds!! Something for your mom to think about. I’ll keep you all posted on future projects. Have a great week and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
