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!

We would luv to lay in the sun all day!!!
=^..^=

That’s really cool. I’d considered building something like this myself!
March 31st, 2011 at 11:19 am
Awesome idea! In the Garage during the summer and indoors during the winter!
March 31st, 2011 at 11:47 am
I might have to buy this if I don’t win. Looks like something my cats would love.
March 31st, 2011 at 12:42 pm
I have 4 cats, 3 of which would love this bed. (The 4th is blind). They would probably fight over it, but most likely the 20lbs one would win and ush the others away. As it is they fight over the only window sill they are able to sit on. They love watching the squirrels.
March 31st, 2011 at 12:50 pm
These are great.
March 31st, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Excellent idea!!! My Ursus will love it!
March 31st, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Maybe this little bed would keep my girl kitty from falling off the 3″ windowsill!
March 31st, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Not sure who would love this more – my cats or me! What a brilliant idea to keep cats of the top of buffets and dressing tables breaking all my treasures, in an attempt to be near a window.
March 31st, 2011 at 3:32 pm
What an amazing idea! I know what my cats’ new favorite spot’s going to be!
March 31st, 2011 at 4:30 pm
This seat looks perfect for my two cats as they LOVE staring out the windows and sunning themselves!
March 31st, 2011 at 5:00 pm
i need one for my boy who loves to lay in the sun! <3
March 31st, 2011 at 5:51 pm
OMC, I’d wet my pants if I won this! And, if I wore pants. I could do my patrols without as much walking.
March 31st, 2011 at 5:52 pm
I just ordered these but beware! Shipping charges don’t show up until you have already placed your order and you never get to review your order for mistakes! They end up being $20 each anyway with “processing charges”.
I accidentally ordered four! I hope I like them!
March 31st, 2011 at 6:57 pm
my kitties would love this!
March 31st, 2011 at 7:37 pm
wow! my kitty Zepher would LOVE this.
March 31st, 2011 at 7:52 pm
what a great idea!
March 31st, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Awesome! My cats just love window seats and, unfortunately, ours recently broke. I’d love to try this out.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:40 pm
I must say I’m a bit wary of buying something “as seen on tv,” but this looks like a great solution for apartment dwellers. My resident cat and foster kittens would love it.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:46 pm
A kitty bivouac! What a great idea! Our formerly outdoor, now indoor cat would love this. Our busy street prevents him from going out but he still lords over his territory from the windows.
April 1st, 2011 at 5:59 am
puuuurrrrrfect for my kittie!
April 1st, 2011 at 9:21 am
I need this for my little guy who likes to look out the window for mommy to come home!
April 1st, 2011 at 9:40 am
Just in time for springtime window watching!’
cats will love it.
April 1st, 2011 at 9:59 am
Oh, wow…I’d be skeptical about those suction cups too, but I REALLY want to try them out!
April 1st, 2011 at 2:13 pm
The guys love the sun. This would be great.
April 1st, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Ohhhh I can just see the “king of the mountain” gave that would ensue among my four!!!
April 1st, 2011 at 6:44 pm
We would love this for our big window
April 1st, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Thanks for the review. I may need to buy these after your review, I was leery about the suction cups when I saw the ad on tv.
April 1st, 2011 at 10:54 pm
I’m a bit skeptical but willing to try it out.
April 2nd, 2011 at 6:48 am
Nice…I think I would love that its portable..would love to try it. Looks like it may keep the cat hair off the sill.
April 2nd, 2011 at 7:32 am
I can’t recall if I’ve already entered – if I have I apologize! Bad, bad memory. This product is so cool! I’d have to buy a bunch because our 5 cats would be fighting for ownership. Thank you for the giveaway.
April 2nd, 2011 at 11:46 am
My Sophie cat, says she thinks this looks way more comfortable than the old plastic container she is currently sunning on. Plus she would have the perfect view for all the birdies outside.!!
April 2nd, 2011 at 12:07 pm
My kitties like to stay on the sunny side of the seat
April 2nd, 2011 at 5:15 pm
My little guy would LOVE this. I am always amazed at the creative products that come out for pet lovers!
April 2nd, 2011 at 5:16 pm
skeptical… but interested
April 2nd, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Oh man! That’s pawesome!
I’d be a bit nervous about the suction cups, just because I’ve had bad luck with many in the past (often times they have to be conditioned before use or won’t stick properly, meaning a proper cleaning and then rubbing them with your hands to warm them up, make em more pliable and get the oils of the skin on them right before sticking them to a surface.)
I’d love to try this out!
April 2nd, 2011 at 7:04 pm
how cute!
April 2nd, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Great way to provide more spaces in the sun for the kitties.
April 3rd, 2011 at 3:53 am
it would purrfect for my sliding glass door! so many swallows out there to keep an eye on!
April 3rd, 2011 at 6:20 am
awesome price…I am a tad bit skeptical BUT the suction cups do look rather big! Wonder if 2 or 3 cats can sit on it at one time as long as they aren’t over 50lbs? Paws crossed we win one
April 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 am
finally something easy to move around and follow the sun!
April 3rd, 2011 at 10:12 am
I think I may have to pick one of these up even if I don’t win. Awesome.
April 3rd, 2011 at 4:18 pm
So cute! My kitty cat would love it! He loves to sit in the sun all the time anyway so I know he will love this! So great!!!
April 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 pm
It’s perfect for me since I don’t want to drill into the window sill. My cats would love it!
April 3rd, 2011 at 7:23 pm
We LOOOOVE this, I may just have to treat my kitties to this little bed, Purrrfect!
April 3rd, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Wow! How perfect!
April 3rd, 2011 at 7:25 pm
This looks really cool. How clever!
April 4th, 2011 at 4:59 am
I have always wanted one of these for my cats but never bought one! Thanks for the chance to win one!
April 4th, 2011 at 5:00 am
I would love to win this for my fur babies…bet they would fight over who gets to lay in it! LOL
April 4th, 2011 at 5:04 am
