I don't know if this is what you are looking for but here is an amazon link that provides a few different options. https://www.amazon.com/cat-window-seats/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Acat%20window%20seats Since your one cat is 22lbs you may need to secure a window seat a little more because of the weight. I would think about getting a cat tower for in front of the window. You can do something like the: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Activity-Scratching-Posts-Medium/dp/B017WXWZ6Y/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1511407650&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=cat+tower&psc=1 I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!

Hi, in terms of cat furniture don’t worry cats don’t need anything particularly fancy. They enjoy sitting on a shelf as in the picture and look outside the window. You would add some cardboard boxes that can also work as cratching posts and a couple of pillow on the bookshelf. I think the feeding area would better be moved, because being right in front of the windows is exposed, they can see/be seen and could spot something that might upset them. It is also advisable to keep feeding areas away from their litter tray and perhaps moving it would help increasing this distance. Are there only two cats in the room ? If so also consider the number of litter trays. I mo not sure how many you have at present, and if things work out well I probably would suggest not to change them. You can find lots of ideas in building/creating cat furniture from ikea furniture if you fancy a change in the future. Also cats will need to be active and interact with you so make sure you consider this in your rou

This can be a tough problem - I can sympathize! There are a few things you can do to help. First, make sure that you are providing really good, attractive scratching posts in the areas that your cat wants to scratch - many of the small, carpet-covered ones in pet stores aren't very good. A good scratching post should be at least 3-4 feet tall so that the cat can stretch all the way out when scratching. It should also be heavy and solid - if the post feels flimsy or tips over when the cat scratches, he won't want to use it. Finally, most cats prefer rough coverings like sisal rope or something similar rather than carpet. I would try to get several really good scratching posts and ideally also a few cat trees/climbing structures so that you can have at least one in every room where Pepper spends time. To help discourage scratching on furniture and door faces, you can use double-sided scotch tape over these areas - the tape sticks to their paws when they try to scratch, so they normally c
