Removable Window Shelf for our Cat

Our cat likes to look outside a lot and see what is going on.  She’s mainly an indoor cat, but sometimes she hangs out on our deck.  When it is too hot or too rainy, the deck is not an option and she will sit on the back of the couch in order to look out the window.  This causes the cushions to smoosh down and some of the dreaded cat hair always seems to end up there.  So in an effort to try to encourage our cat to find other places to hang out and provide some creative time with the kids, we decided to build a “cat shelf” so that she can look out the window.  The only caveat with this was is that we needed to make the shelf “removable” and able to mount on some of our other windows with the same sill and trim throughout the house.

Here’s the video if you’re interested in watching the build process:
