We all know how much cats like to curl up in a sunny spot by the window. Well, the new Sunny Seat cat bed makes it really easy to set-up the perfect window perch for kitty. The folks at Sunny Seat sent us one to test, and I was a bit hesitant at first. You see, the bed mounts to a glass window or door using suction cups, which made me skeptical, but once I took the bed out of the package and saw the serious industrial suction cups, my mind was set at ease. Then I saw the video on their website that shows 50 lbs. of bricks stacked on the Sunny Seat and that proved it. This thing is sturdy!
The Sunny Seat has a strong plastic tube frame covered with a durable canvas cover that can be machine washed. The frame and cover mount to any smooth glass surface with four giant suction cups and two cables attached to two metal springs. It’s incredibly easy to install and the cats took to it right away. This is an excellent solution for apartment dwellers who want to install a cat perch without drilling into the walls.
There are of course plenty of warnings in the instructions, like not to use the Sunny Seat on antique glass or textured glass that might not allow the suction cups to attach securely. I attached it on the sliding glass door to the catio and it’s holding perfectly.
You may have seen the Sunny Seat for sale on TV. It is also available online for just $19.99 plus shipping & handling, and in typical “as seen on TV” fashion, there’s a “But wait, there’s more!” offer: buy one, get one free, plus you get two free laser cat toys. What a deal!

This looks like fun, and nice that you can easily move it from room to room as the sun moves around the house.

Nice product! My daughter is a student in an apartment and the sunny seat is great because there is no hardware needed easily moved etc. I would love to give her one for her cats.

I ordered these and was disappointed that they are about an inch too wide for my windows — standard NYC apartment windows. Luckily we have a row of 3 windows and so I was able to attach them by putting one side on one window and the other side on the window next to it. However, we open the middle window frequently and it’s inconvenient to constantly readjust half of the perch.
That said, the cats do like them and they are sturdy enough to hold our largest cat who is about 13lbs.

All for of my cats are going to love this! They are indoors but love to bath in the sun coming from our sliding glass doors. This will be perfect for them =)

omg so true this is perfect for apartment dwellers, i always see my kitty want to lay down and relax completely to enjoy the view but can’t due to the small windowsill, great idea

This looks wonderful – my Siberian kitten Maks would love it. I tried to order it online but they will not ship to Canada. I hope Max wins it! Thanks for posting the info on this.

This is lovely! I have such a small apartment that cat trees and special seating is impossible for my cat, but this would be perfect! I hope I can win this for my little friend, Kitaro.
