Cats spend a huge amount of their day watching the world go by, and a proper window perch turns an underused windowsill into their favourite spot in the house. The trick is finding one that mounts securely, holds your cat’s actual weight, and doesn’t stop you closing the blinds.
We’ve checked six current window perches sold on Amazon UK, covering suction-cup, hook-mount and no-drill designs at a range of prices, so there’s an option whatever your windows — and your cat — need.

Our Top Picks
1. PEFUNY Cordless Folding Cat Window Perch
Best for: most cats and most homes
The PEFUNY perch uses a stainless steel frame with no hanging cords, mounted either with four suction cups or wall-mount screws, so it works on both glass and solid walls. It folds flat when not in use, which is handy if you want to remove it for window cleaning.
What we like: a genuinely high weight rating for a perch at this price, a soft breathable cover that’s easy to hand wash, and the flat-fold design makes storage simple between seasons.
Worth knowing: as with any suction-mounted perch, check the glass is clean and the cups are pressed on firmly before letting your cat jump up. Suitable for most adult cats up to and including larger breeds.
Specifications:
- Weight capacity: up to 18kg (40lb)
- Mounting: 4 suction cups or wall-mount screws
- Cover: soft, breathable, hand washable
- Design: folds flat for storage

2. GUUSII HOME Cat Window Bed
Best for: larger cats and cats who like to curl up rather than perch flat
This one is more bed than plank — a raised-edge nest shape on an inverted L-frame, so your cat gets a proper curled-up sleeping spot with an open view out, rather than a flat platform. The steel frame and four high-strength suction cups are built for bigger cats.
What we like: the raised sides give a real sense of security for nervier cats, the cover is reversible between plush and mesh sides for different seasons, and it folds flat in seconds.
Worth knowing: the nest shape takes up more window space than a flat perch, so measure your sill or window area first. Best suited to larger or multiple cats who like to loaf.
Specifications:
- Weight capacity: up to 18kg (40lb)
- Mounting: reinforced steel frame, 4 suction cups
- Cover: reversible plush/mesh, machine washable
- Size: Medium
3. AMOSIJOY Cat Sill Window Perch
Best for: owners who want to avoid suction cups and drilling altogether
Instead of suction cups, this perch hooks onto the window sill itself using adjustable thumb-screw fittings, so there’s nothing stuck to the glass and no drilling into the frame. It also works on drawers, cabinets or a bedside table if you want to move it around the house.
What we like: no suction cups means no risk of a cup losing grip over time, and the thickened wood-and-metal frame feels noticeably sturdier than most suction-mounted alternatives at this price.
Worth knowing: it needs a window sill with a suitable lip or edge to hook onto, so check your window style before buying. The plush cover is Velcro-removable for washing.
Specifications:
- Weight capacity: up to 18kg (40lb)
- Mounting: adjustable hook fittings onto the sill, no suction or drilling
- Frame: thickened wood and metal
- Cover: plush, Velcro-removable
4. Zakkart Cat Window Perch, Metal Supported
Best for: cats who need a perch that really stays put
Where most perches rely purely on suction, this Zakkart design adds triangular metal support arms underneath that brace against the wall, giving extra stability for cats who like to leap on with some force. It’s an all-iron frame with tool-free assembly.
What we like: the underneath support arms noticeably reduce any wobble compared with suction-only designs, and the padded bed is machine washable rather than just spot-clean.
Worth knowing: the support arms mean it needs enough wall clearance below the sill to brace against, so it won’t suit every window layout. Great for confident jumpers and multi-cat households sharing one spot.
Specifications:
- Weight capacity: 18kg
- Frame: 100% iron with underneath support arms
- Bed: padded, machine washable cover
- Assembly: tool-free
5. K&H EZ Mount Window Kitty Sill
Best for: windows with blinds, and buyers who trust an established brand
K&H is one of the longest-established names in cat window furniture, and this EZ Mount sill is built specifically to fold flat against the glass so your blinds can still close over it — a problem several bulkier perches don’t solve.
What we like: the industrial-strength suction cups carry the highest weight rating on this list, the removable cover is fully washable, and it’s the most affordable option here by some margin.
Worth knowing: you’ll need a clear glass area of roughly 61cm x 48cm to fit it properly, so measure narrow windows first. Best for anyone who wants blinds and a perch to coexist.
Specifications:
- Weight capacity: 22.5kg+
- Mounting: industrial-strength suction cups, folds flat
- Cover: removable, washable
- Clear glass needed: approx. 61 x 48cm
6. JZK Window Mounted Cat Hammock with Blanket
Best for: budget buyers and first-time perch owners
If you’re not sure your cat will actually take to a window perch, this JZK hammock is the cheapest sensible way to find out. Suction-mounted with no tools required, it comes with a soft blanket included and sets up in a couple of minutes.
What we like: it’s genuinely the most affordable option here, the included blanket is a nice touch, and the cover is fully washable for easy upkeep.
Worth knowing: at 15kg the weight capacity is the lowest on this list, so it suits smaller and average-sized cats rather than larger breeds. A sensible starter perch before upgrading.
Specifications:
- Weight capacity: 15kg
- Bed size: 55 x 32cm
- Mounting: suction cups, no tools needed
- Includes: soft blanket, washable cover

Buying Guide: How to Choose the Cat Window Perch
What to Look For
Check the stated weight capacity against your cat’s actual weight with a safety margin, not just their breed’s average — an overloaded suction perch is a genuine fall risk. Look at how the cover cleans (fully removable and machine washable beats spot-clean only), and consider whether the frame is metal or plastic-reinforced for cats who jump on with force.
Cat Window Perch Types Explained
Suction-cup perches are the most common and easiest to fit, but rely on clean, flat glass to hold. Hook or sill-mounted designs skip suction altogether by gripping the window ledge itself, which suits owners wary of a cup losing grip. Metal-supported perches add bracing arms underneath for extra stability, and hammock-style beds prioritise comfort over a slim, blind-friendly profile.
Size Guide
Most perches need a clear pane of glass at least 45-60cm wide to fit their mounting points, so measure your window before ordering, especially for narrower panes. If you want to keep using blinds or curtains, look specifically for a perch designed to fold flat against the glass, like the K&H EZ Mount above.
How Much Should You Spend?
Budget perches start around £15-£18 and are a sensible way to test whether your cat will actually use a window perch. Most mid-range options sit between £25-£30 and add better materials, higher weight ratings or nest-style comfort. There’s little reason to spend more than that for a single cat’s perch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are cat window perches safe?
Yes, provided you check the weight rating against your cat and inspect suction cups or fittings regularly for wear. Re-press suction cups periodically and avoid mounting on textured or double-glazed edge glass where cups may not seal well.
Can I use a window perch on a double-glazed window?
Suction cups generally work fine on the flat central pane of double glazing, but avoid mounting directly over the sealed edge strip, which can be less reliable to stick to.
Will a window perch stop me closing my blinds?
It depends on the design. Flat, fold-against-the-glass styles like the K&H EZ Mount are built specifically so blinds still close; bulkier nest-style beds are more likely to get in the way.
My cat’s perch fell down once and it won’t go back. What should I do?
Clean both the glass and the suction cups thoroughly with a damp cloth, let both dry fully, then reapply the cups and press firmly for several seconds each. Replace cups that have visibly hardened or cracked rather than reusing them indefinitely.
Final Verdict
The PEFUNY Cordless Folding Perch is our overall pick for most households — a strong weight rating, easy care and a design that works almost anywhere. If your cat’s bigger or likes to curl up rather than perch flat, the GUUSII HOME Cat Window Bed is worth the same money, and the K&H EZ Mount remains the best budget choice for anyone who still wants to use their blinds.
