I did this from our banister to a high window above our door. The cats were always testing the waters and I was afraid they'd fall. I made a ramp leading to the platform, which rests on the window sill, and short rail so they couldn't roll off of the platform. There was a small roll of leftover carpet from the previous owners of the house. I used the rest of that for padding.

They absolutely love going up there and staring out the window at the neighborhood. Although, only 1 can be up there at a time. Their rules, not ours. If another tries to come up they'll have a stare off or the one that was there just leaves. Usually with a few choice words.

Building inspector here, I'm going to need to see architectural drawwings and purrmits.

Until the cat decides you're its new landing spot

Could have just pulled the light over so she could jump on it and swing across.

My upstairs neighbour a few years ago had a similar thing going down into our back garden. She called it the catwalk.

Now she will want to go out of the window.

Weirdly, the window looks like can be opened. Why would anyone spec an operable window in this location?

It's nonsense and thus must lead to Narnia or Wonderland.

There's a kitty who's sure that the window is gold And she's walking a bridge to the heavens When she gets there, she knows, if the windows not closed Maybe a bird, she can get what she came for

Meow meow meow, meooooow meow And kit's walking a bridge to the heavens
