Cats are curious by nature, knowing exactly what they want and when they want it. So when it comes to cat naps and giving your feline some space, we know it can be tricky setting boundaries. To avoid more claws on your furniture, gift your pet a window perch in place of that seat on your couch! Joel Dickstein, Founder and CEO of Mau, explains, "A window perch is a great way to give indoor cats the mental and physical stimulation they need."

And if you're keen on design—great news! There are functional and chic window perches that won't throw off your decor. Choose anything from minimalist perches to playful boho silhouettes. Your feline can stretch, spy on your neighbor's renovation, or sleep in peace thanks to the elevated options we listed below. Finally, you can also nap without keeping one eye open to see what your cat is up to. Sweet dreams for you both, indeed.

Jackson Cunningham, the founder of Tuft & Paw shares, "Besides aesthetics, you want to make sure the perch is big enough to support your kitty. Our window hammock supports 30 lbs!"

The design-forward shape and supportive suction will make any photo of your cat Instagram-worthy and safe.

Here's an easy-to-install Scandanavian-styled cat window perch that consists of only three parts! The strong suction will hold up your cat when they're playing or napping.

Dickstein suggests this simple but sturdy, soft wall perch, that conforms to any cat's body while supporting up to 24 pounds on its sturdy metal frame.

"It's the perfect way to create climbing shelves for those cats who love jumping up and down," he tells us. "To make it even better, the felt material can easily be refreshed with a vacuum or lint roller or can be fully replaced."

If your cat is into the bohemian accents around your space, buy a macrame window perch. The breathable hammock includes sturdy suction cups, too!

Think of this plush window perch as a comfy accent chair for your cat. The fleece is machine washable and features a cozy memory foam padding.

If you're not a fan of heights for your feline, choose a cat bed. Sleek and edgy, your cat will soak up the sun in style during nap time. While it's on the pricey side, your cat deserves to be spoiled with the best!

Whether you have one cat or two, Chewy's window perch will be the ultimate claw-friendly playground.

How To Choose a Cat Window Perch

Dickstein advises: When finding the right window perch for your feline, it's important to consider the following: your cat's weight, the size and sturdiness of the perch, and, of course, its design to compliment your home.
