What is the minimum depth of the window sill required,in order to install the cat perch?

My window sill is 4 inches deep and it is not pressed all the way in. But I do suggest you use the screws to ensure stability

Our window sill is 3 and a half inches. Our cats love sitting in the sun on their perches.

Mine is 6" deep and the screws were about mid-way. So, I'd say a 4" windowsill would work--maybe even 3". You can adjust the location of the brackets under the bed to fit deeper or shorter sills.

Our window sill is about 4" deep, and we didn't even butt the shelf up all the way to the window. I'd say the screws are about 3" back from the edge of the sill, and it's plenty stable for our cat (who weighs about 12 pounds). I do recommend screwing it in, though, rather than using the included hook & loop tape.

Be warned, your window needs to be a minimum of 22". They do not tell you on this site. I found out the hard way and still waiting for my return slip (6 days and counting).

Actually, I think this may be too flimsy for your cat. My cat is a small, 8 lb. cat. It's supported by the two scroll worked legs on the bottom and velcro on the window sill. While it does come with mounting hardware, I'm not sure it's big enough for you cat to stretch out on. Wonder if they make square window seats?

The specific cat door I purchased and the one in the picture I have been asked to review, is recommended for "thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick." I installed it into a 1/2 thick screen porch wall...anything thicker, such as an interior wall or typical door would not work for this specific product. You need to get a cat door recommended for whatever thickness your wall or door is. I did not have to frame the opening...just cut out the hole and the door itself acted as the frame.

There's really no attachment. The plastic tray simply sits on the window sill. The clear plastic cover fits on top of the tray. You will need about 4 inches of flat depth on the sill to accommodate the tray. Hope that helps you.

This question wasn't asked, but is pertinent to size. Assembled, this cat tree needs a minimum of 43 inches in width. My male feral that is becoming an inside cat is about 12 pounds, but very long and he loves the bigger shelves on the first tier and the condo for playing and lounging the most. However, he does climb on the smaller upper perches and will sit and lounge on them curled up. He just prefers to stretch out while playing as well as lounging more than other cats I've observed. There were very few other cat trees out of the hundreds I looked at and compared that would give him big perches, a condo for hiding/playing and was this sturdy.

The flat part of the top perch measures 16" wide by 9" deep. Overall measurement of the top perch is 19" wide by 10.5" deep. This is a very nice cat perch. Well made and sturdy. My cat loves it. She uses every level.

The length of the bed is approx. 23 and 3/4" and around 14" at its widest point. It's made out of a hard plastic and possibly could shave a little off each end to fit snugly in the window. The cover would hide it. Mine is sitting on a 3-3/4" sill and I used only the Velcro strips to hold it up. My kitties love it so much, I had to buy a second one. Good luck!

It is springy, a tight spring. So you would shorten it with strong twist ties. We mounted ours onto a plywood board with a hole cut in the board center. The board is made a size to fit in a window. Our cat enjoys going in & out the window but staying safe in the tunnel. We also have the tent house attachment that allows even more outdoor room.

Hi Kim, I (and my cat) love this perch. What kind of sill do you have...wood or ceramic? How narrow are you talking about? If it's wood, I would highly suggest that you use the screw option for the sill....it works very well and with the wall supports underneath the perch, plus the screws, it holds very well for my cat who is about 14 pounds. And if you move the sill, the holes can easily be filled with wood putty and stained, so no worries there, or if they are painted sills, again just filled and painted...again, no problem. I hope this helps. -Mark

Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" hole in a piece of cardboard and see if he can get through. It might be a tiny bit taller than that, but no wider. The door flap makes the vertical space smaller than it looks. My cat loves it, but she's tiny (7 lbs).

open the window you intend to put the cat flap in.measure the width of the opening, from the wall to the wall. the cat flap fits inside the window framing.

Had that problem with another one of these foldable cages. Did the plywood but it did not take cat claws long to get splinters :-( So, I went to Lowes and bought one plank of that plastic decking and cut to size. Screwed in metal L brackets and I was in business. I went one step further and made one big ledge that covered the whole cage in the middle and cut a hole big enough for them to jump through. The planking is that sturdy! This allows a much bigger lounging ledge.

With minor adjustments depending on the opening size. The width n height of the support are set up for the window sill. With a wall unit there is no lip for the support to set.

There is a heavy duty strip of velcro that is included. You attach half the velcro to the windowsill and the other to the underside of the shelf and press the shelf down on the windowsill to attach. I am sure removing the velcro from the sill will require some elbow grease, a scraper and Goo Gone. I'm hoping to live in my house with a cat for many years to come, and will worry about removing the shelf when that time comes. So far, the shelf has held well and my cat uses it daily. This is a really good cat perch, in my opinion. I've had 3 different styles and this is by far the best one.

There's maybe 2 inches clearance between the feet, cats won't be able to squeeze.

.I haven't been able to use mine because the window sills are too wide. I live in a very old(100 yrs) condo building. I think if the window rolls out instead of in, you could use it. I'm not sure what to do with mine but I know my cats would love it.
