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.

Bless you, your cats, and home. Thank you for sharing this!
