Zalalava Cat Window Perch was our next enrichment for the cats, and we wanted to give it a try. When it arrived at Christmas time of 2023, we were curious to see what our cats would think about it. We never had this in our house as an enrichment, and our thinking was, that Kai and Pukini love to look out all of our windows in our house. So when we got a chance we put it up with help from Dave of the Zalalova Cat Window Perch, in the family room windows, and our bedroom back screen windows as well. I just wished we would have had this window perch when our cats were younger and smaller, so that maybe they would have adjusted to it earlier in life.
First thing, this Zalalova Cat Window Perch, is better for a very small cat(s), or kitten(s), but we thought let’s give our bigger and older male cats, Kai and Pukini a chance and try to see what happens. With help from Dave, Pukini would get coaxed if there was a treat on the Zalalova Cat Window Perch, and with help from the boxes, ottoman, or Dave’s help he would go up and just stand, but no sitting down on the padding, or blanket. Pukini would look out of the window, but would get down. Kai, on the other hand sat, or stood up briefly and than got down. I don’t even think he looked out of the window, up on the cat perch, and just sniffed and sniffed at the cat perch. Overall, we were disappointed in this product, and to us it was a dud. We were really hoping it would work out, but it didn’t. Maybe in time it will work, but our cats weren’t interested, and were nervous about staying put standing or sitting down. Hopefully with more practice, and with more help from the boxes and ottoman, they will feel more comfortable and confident to jump up on the cat window perch. Now saying that, just because it didn’t work for our cats, doesn’t mean it won’t work for your kitten(s) and or cat(s), and so give it a try. Your cats might like it.
Finally, this Zalalova cat window perch came with everything we needed, a mounted cat bed, a fleece blanket, a manual, and more. Thank goodness the suction cups worked really good to adhere to your window. It did say, online that these 2024 screw on suction cups, can hold up to sixty pounds. Online it says, 20% more space, of lengthening and widening of a design. To be honest I felt like it needed to be wider and longer for our cats and more sturdy for both at one time to go up there, to enjoy a view of the street from outside. This I liked online: MACHINE WASHABLE COVER: Cat window seat mat is breathable and durable, easy to clean, and no chemical smell. Made of food grade mesh cloth, cat's body temperature won't overheat. With underneath its ultra-soft, machine-washable fleece cushion. Finally, online: The suction cup is made of high-quality PVC material and more. We had the white color blanket, but it has a variety of colors to choose from. According to online: Cat perch dimensions: 22" x 12" x 1.5" (L x W x H) and hanging dimensions: 29.5" x 21.5" (H x W) Suction Cup Diameter: 3.3" Cord Length: 23" Weight: 1.3 pounds.
