Can you turn the bed so the bolster in away from window for added support for large sleepy cats?

Yes. The bolster goes on the cover and can be on front or back. I have it on the back so the cats can look out the window when they're sitting there.
248461
YES! This is exactly what we did, the cats use the bolster to keep them from rolling off the shelf. They use it as a pillow as well. I would recommend turning it so the bolster faces in.
248462
Yes you can. The pillow/cloth top is completely removable so that it can be washed so you can chose which side the bolster is facing when you put it on the plastic framing.
248463
Yes, the entire cover comes off to wash, so you could just put it on backwards.
248464
Yes, you can! I did that for the same reason - there is a picture of my boy with the bolster away from window in the costumer pictures! Works in any direction you put it.Easy to get on and of too! My boy loves to lean in the bolster and look out of the window....

Yes, you can turn it , so it faces the room.The perch is an oval shape so you can turn the padding around and have the bolster face the room. My cat didn't like it that way, but other cats would sure like it.

You can turn the bed but I live in a cold climate and like the bolster to be against the cold window. I don't know if there would be anymore support for large cat.

I can be reversed. I would suggest putting it 'upside' first. My cats tore into the one side so much, that it collapsed when it was flipped over and my smaller one went to sit on it.

Absolutely NO. I bought three of these for my cats and they love to sit in the window comfortably looking outside.

yes. leave the carrier open where your cat can get familiar. maybe put something with your scent in it. my cats play and nap in it.

I actually do not use the shelfs that come with the cage, because i think they are to narrow for a cat to comfotable sleep on. I purchase the metal closet shelves and cut them to size with carpet on top of them.

We recently bought this item or cat Minnie. Your cat will be elevated approximately 30". Every house is different I would imagine. Our house is a ranch that was built in the 50's so most of my window start at 40" from the floor. So for my cat... no. But I have this item in the corner of our bedroom and this is easily our cats favorite place to sleep. She is a 7.5 pound cat and loves to curl up in it. Scratching post is a fav too.

Yes, there is a dial on the unit that you can turn to the closed position. This is great if you need to have your cats inside especially at night.

My instinctive response is that you would lose some support by doing that, but keep in mind the bed I bought from them is 4' X 6'. There are some advantages to leaving a little bit of room between beds that size, in my opinion, as I like to be able to get in from all sides especially when there are bug issues. you never want to walk on raised beds.

Yes to both your questions. You and your cat will love this window perch! It is very well made.

Out of the box, I would say no. We had to use a small ratchet strap to keep it from shifting under our largest Siamese (14 lbs fatty). After strapping it, it works fine but as advertised no I would say not. It doesn't shift a huge amount but it's enough to make it unsettling for the cat.

I just put mine in a similar position and successfully crawled under it without setting off the alarm so theoretically it should work. The question is whether it would react to the cats approaching from a longer angle. It seems worth the risk to me. As Roderick suggests you could tilt it up at a slight angle if needed. How much you tilt it depends upon the height of what you want to trigger it (walking adult).

No. Desk pushes beneath bed. You could roll it to the mentioned position but it would block other elements.

Yes you could, but you would have a couple of weird brackets hanging off the end of the bed frame. I am not sure if they are removable.

So glad it worked for you as well. I, too, had to put a soft towel on the lounger before my cat jumped in. She must not have liked the feel of the bed's cover.

Not really. You would have to remove the bolts and fasteners which hold the top and bottom together as the door fits into holes on one side. Think of it as door hinges. I guess you could simply tie the door open if you want to use it as a cat bed.

There is a zipper at the top, under the striped awning. That's what I use for putting my cats in. When it's time to take them out, I either reach in and pick one up off the top hammock (the zipper only lets you reach in that far), or I remove some of the closures for the door and swing it open and pick up a cat that way.

No, but they can be installed left or right facing so effectively it is like being able to put it at either end, you just have to turn the bed the way you want it.
