Why cats need height
Window-watching is one of the most consistent enrichment behaviours in indoor cats, and a flat wood ledge lets them do it without balancing on the frame or knocking down plants. The cushion runs the full length for cats who like to fully stretch, and the warm wood suits rooms where a visible cat product would otherwise look out of place.

The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
There is a particular kind of peace in watching your cat find their spot: the slow blink, the tucked paws, the whole body settling into stillness as afternoon light moves across the sill. The Sunny Spot gives them somewhere worthy of that ritual, a perch at the very heart of their world.
Each shelf is handcrafted to order by Cat's Atelier in Poland, cut and finished from pine wood. Pine is chosen for its warm tone and honest grain character, qualities that make it sit comfortably against a painted wall or wooden frame without demanding attention from the room around it.
A well-finished pine shelf is robust and stands up to years of daily use. Because every piece is made to order rather than held in stock, you receive a shelf built specifically for your home. Allow a little time for making, and what arrives will last.
Why we chose this
Cat's Atelier makes each shelf by hand in Poland from sustainable pine, and the clean, considered design earns its place in a room as much as on a window.

How to Plan Your Cat's Climbing Route
A single shelf is a good start. A proper route, one your cat climbs from the floor with confidence, only needs a few planning basics.
- Start from the floor. The most reliable route needs no furniture at all: a short run of steps leading up to a perch works in every room, for every cat.
- Think in three bands — a low launch point up to about half a metre, a middle climbing band up to around a metre and a half, and a high vantage perch above that with a clear view.
- Space each step around 20 to 30cm apart, so every move is an easy step rather than a jump.
- Just don't stack steps directly on top of one another. Beyond that, arrange them however suits your wall, diagonally, in a diamond, a triangle, or staggered from side to side.
- Most rooms need three to five pieces to build a comfortable floor-to-perch route.
- A window is a popular spot for a shelf, giving your cat the view and the natural light to watch the room from.
- Two cats, two routes. Where space allows, give each cat its own way up rather than one shared route with a single pinch point.
- Easy to fix. Every piece comes with concealed fixings and full fittings, and mounts securely to masonry or a plasterboard wall with studs.
