Cat Window Seat

By Dylan | May 14, 2009

Here is Reno, annoyed with the flash, enjoying his new seat

Reno, annoyed with the flash, enjoying his new perch. Check out the nice clean patio that is his domain.

Inspired by MAKE magazine

Made in one afternoon. PVC, Fabric, twine(which may be switched to wire), suction cups and a curious fat cat. He weighs in around 16 lbs and is good to go.

Things to change:

  • Stronger fabric that has a little less give
  • Metal wire instead of twine

    Awesome.
    My name is Cameron. I was the one that suggested the link for the Kitty Cot to Make.

    I thought I would just say that you did an awesome job. How much did it end up costing you to make in the end? I am glad someone re-made the product ($50 buck seems a bit steep for my tastes). I need to get around to make one for my cat.

    I didn’t even think about including cost in my post. Since I can’t find the receipt I have given my best guess.Here you go:
    Suction Cups: Four 20lbs Wreath Hangers- $2.49 each
    10′ 3/4″ PVC pipe(of which I used 80″)- $2.15
    250′ Spool of twine(of which I used 100″)- $2.50
    Fabric- Free, it was just hanging around my house
    Elbows, etc.- $.95ish each

    Total: Around $20 if you have to buy the fabric.

Buy Me a Slurpee

I am not even kidding
