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!

Would love for my little love bug to have one of these!
March 30th, 2011 at 7:56 am
My cat Minnow would love this bed!
March 30th, 2011 at 8:07 am
It is very versatile and can be moved around the house as the
sun changes with the seasons.
March 30th, 2011 at 8:33 am
This is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons!
March 30th, 2011 at 8:42 am
Looks very convenient.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:07 am
I agree with everyone who is skeptical of the suction cups’ abilities to hold, especially since some of my family’s cats are quite heavy. However, if they do work , I think is a great idea and love the thought of attaching it to a glass door!
March 30th, 2011 at 9:16 am
I lvoe this.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:29 am
So simple-it’s divine!
March 30th, 2011 at 10:12 am
This is perfect for my kitty. We live in an apt and there’s no where really to look unless I attach it to our sliding door!
March 30th, 2011 at 10:31 am
We would love to have this too! The design is very clever!
March 30th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Scout would probably be in this all the time, doing his daily bird watch on the lawn.
March 30th, 2011 at 10:52 am
This is a great solution for our sun-loving cat!
March 30th, 2011 at 11:08 am
Wow, what a great idea! no more balancing on narrow window sills for the kitties to get a view of the outside world!
March 30th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Pretty spiffy
March 30th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
my cats stare out the window for hours….making our current unaccessible front window available would be a dream come true for them!
March 30th, 2011 at 12:43 pm
I definitely know a special someone who would seriously enjoy this. Such a great idea for indoors kitties who don’t get to go out!
March 30th, 2011 at 12:53 pm
What a great idea!!! The ones I’ve tried leave marks all over the wall!!!
March 30th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
lovely! perhaps the kitty will stop destroying my blinds…!!
March 30th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
I have the purrfect place to put this! Awesome
March 30th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Looks great! And it would be the perfect spot for my friend’s older cat to retreat to, especially when my younger cat is trying to play with it!
March 30th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
what a clever idea, would love to try this!
March 30th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
I would love one of these. I could finally get the cats off the desk while I work!
March 30th, 2011 at 4:26 pm
I wish they had a human sized one!
March 30th, 2011 at 4:34 pm
I love how it will fit on any window in my house!
March 30th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
this is a great idea….we have big windows that this would suit perfectly.
March 30th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
What I really love about this Sunny Seat Cat Bed is that it is so versatile? You know how cats are always looking for a new spot to lounge by the window, well now I can keep moving it every day and they’ll think it’s a new spot. I have five cats and they will just adore this but I will probably need to get five.
March 30th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
My kitties LOVE watching the birds. I know that they would purr themselves silly in the Sunny Seat.Purrrty please.
March 30th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
There’ll be a blood between my boys to fight for this special comfy seat – the best seat in the house, for sure!!
March 30th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
would suction cups (and seat, of course) hold up my 21 pound cat? hope we win.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Looks like a cool idea.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
My cats love getting in the windows this would be perfect for them.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
My cats would love a cat window like this, and it would let us attach it to our huge glass door or our huge back windows.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
That is so cool! My cats would fight over this one…the cream kitty in the first pic reminds me of my Sebastian!
March 31st, 2011 at 2:53 am
so perfect now that spring is here!
March 31st, 2011 at 3:42 am
Any cat would love to curl up in the sun on this bed.
March 31st, 2011 at 5:10 am
My cats would adore such a perch (although they’d probably quibble over who gets to use it more!). The windowsills in my tiny apartment are much smaller and one of my particularly chubby kitties doesn’t quite fit the way she would like. The cat perch would be a lifesaver!
March 31st, 2011 at 6:03 am
Because I never win this stuff, I went ahead and ordered this deal online. I have to note that I find it duplicitous that you have to submit your order without knowing the full shipping and handling charges, which nearly equal the cost of the order.
March 31st, 2011 at 6:20 am
What a wonderful, more comfortable way of laying in the window. That looks cozy.
March 31st, 2011 at 6:24 am
This is a great window seat for cats, all the others you have to screw into the wall, this one, you could move it around. My Bella would love to have to to sun bath on !!!!
March 31st, 2011 at 6:46 am
I just moved to an apartment and I’m looking for anything like this to keep my cat happy before I move him over with me. This looks like a simple, easy solution for a comfy kitty viewing spot.
March 31st, 2011 at 7:59 am
This looks fantastic! We have full glass sliding doors in the living room, and this would be a great way to give the cats a place to perch and still see outside.
March 31st, 2011 at 7:59 am
I could totally use this for Peanut in my apartment!
March 31st, 2011 at 8:31 am
Sooo cute for kitties so they can watch the birdies outside in the springtime!!!
March 31st, 2011 at 8:43 am
Would love to try this out and see if it will hold my big boy!!
March 31st, 2011 at 8:55 am
My cat would totally love this!
March 31st, 2011 at 8:58 am
I love the mounting hardware on this! Kallisti would go nuts for a seat like this!
March 31st, 2011 at 9:09 am
I love this idea!
March 31st, 2011 at 9:16 am
Tabitha would be sooo happy! I’ve been wanting to get her something like this.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:13 am
I think both my cats would love this so much they’d fight over it!
March 31st, 2011 at 10:17 am
Awesome idea for renters and it frees up floor space and looks great when not in use. Oliver and Oscar will love it.
