Window hammocks and perches for cats

A cat spends a considerable part of its day observing. Not sleeping: watching, from a high point, whatever moves outside. It is a species need, not a whim, and a window with nowhere to sit leaves it unsatisfied.

The sill is almost never enough. It is too narrow for a cat to lie full-length, often cluttered, and it gets hot in summer. A suction hammock solves all three at once: it fixes to the glass itself, it is forty to fifty centimetres wide, and it lets air pass underneath.
