I watched a lot of perch videos but I like this when the best, simply because it's REMOVABLE without damaging anything, easy to build, inexpensive and really doesn't require extra space. We call the window "channel 1".😻
Nicely done! I need something like this for 2 heavy plant pots I need by my window, but my window doesn't have a lip or groove to put the angle braces in. It's window with 2 crank out windows on either end. I would need to find a fix to put a shelf in the middle section between the 2 crank out windows for those heavy plants.
Love how you did this! I just bought a cat window perch off Amazon. Similar concept, except not as big and sturdy. It was supposed to hook on to the window seal like your L brackets did and if the window seal track is deep enough, it would make it possible to close and lock the window with the perch still attached. My thermal windows do not have a deep enough track for this to work for me. I have rigged it to where I can close the window almost all the way and stuff a towel between to close the gap, but I feel like I could do something else to make it work better. My windows have to stay closed because of weather conditions. Thanks for giving me some ideas.
I will attempt to build one following your guidance. This is what I need for my cat and what I like the most is that it is removable without attaching it permanently to the window sill. Thank you.
That specific window is closed. It's a sliding door window. With the ledge you can open it from the side the ledge is. Not the other side because the ledge will stop it (hope I made it easier to understand)
This is cool! A cautionary tail (har har) - I had a cat way back who loved looking out the screen like this and one day pressed against it and pushed it out. Later, wondering where out cat was we found it outside the apt. complex in the shrubs. It fell down a couple of stories onto an AC unit (ouch). But thankfully was okay. I know, I'm an idiot. I didn't realize the screen would push out that easily.

I have 4 kitties who have a Catio. It used to be my Florida room. This would be a good addition for their Catio.
Thanks!
For sure. You can never have too many catios and window platforms, especially with 4 kitties!
Awe how cute I wanted to build an extension for my plants but now I think I wanna get a cat! And what a good fur dad you are

How did your build turn out?
Bro, thos was awesome!!!! Quick and simple....also, thanks for the tip on the reduced lumber at home depot!!! I did not know that!! 🤔👍👍
You did a nice job with this. Very clever.
Loved seeing how you built your window platform for the boys. They are liking it a lot!
Love this idea! Are you able to close the window?

You should have done a link for a cat. But have it send them to various places where they adopt out cats.
Nice window shelf.
Thank you! This is exactly what i was looking for! A no drill solution for the cats to catch some sunlight
Great video! Instructions were thorough, explanation easy to follow. Plus love that you included your "baby" voice speaking with your cats! Well done!
Thank you for the video I like this method for a cat perch. I'll post a picture once I'm done
Awwww, your striped cat looks like my Max kitty!!
Wonderful idea! Great job!
Looks great. Any issues/redesigns after a year?
I’m about to go check our windows for mounting options like you show.
Thanks ✌🏻
I would have made it slightly larger. It gets a little cramped when they're both on it at once.
What size would you have done. I Def will be making g this next weekend.
Ugh you’re a genius!
This is awesome and thank you for sharing! Is that L corner bracket flush against the window or is it just "clipped" on to the track?
Great job
Thank You ❤❤❤❤

I would love to do this but i have vinyl windows with no extra lip :(
Sawing in your living room, on the carpet???
😱😱😱😱
You crazy 🤣
Lol! Space is at a premium where I live, but i do put a trash can under when i'm sawing.
super merci beaucoup!!!
Can the window be closed?
Nice 👍🏾
Exelente bro. Desde Chile
What about closing the window? Why not just drill it into the sill with king screws? Genuine question
...cause then it's not removable? Or atleast in the typical sense
Nice ❤😊
So the window needs to be open for this to work? So not for winter use.
Depends on your window. With mine, the platform fits on the right side with the window open and fits in the left side with the window closed.
@scapesketch5721 ah ok.
@@ScapeSketchnuts. I have a double hung window. Not casement.
