If you can't beat them, join them (pics)

OK, picture this. My kitchen windows have cafe' curtains with a valance. That means that there is a curtain rod right at the mid point of the window, and a teeny tiny ledge where the bottom half meets the top half of the window. The cats INSIST that they must go up on the curtain rod/ledge of this one particular window. So, as the title of this thread says, if you can't beat them (get them to stop), join them, (make it easier for them). I built them a seat.............................

Adorable!

(Don't cats look sweet as they 'Inspector General' the neighborhood through a window?)

Wonderful pics. I especially like the last one of Kim and Jim togather!

(When we bought our new kitchen table and chairs I moved our raggedy old garden furniture ouside, but Ally complained so much I had to bring one chair back in and put it next to the window!. I suppose Connor will want one too (if he ever get's out of the guest room). Maybe I should take a tip from you and just get some customised seats made for them:rolleyes:

Jen, what a wonderful kitty meowmie you are, not only let the cats have all the human seats and sit on the floor, but also build them a custom made look-out too! :D

Lovely pics, thanks for sharing!:)

You know - they go where they look the prettiest! They look just beautiful sitting there. Good job making them a comfortable perch.

:D :D You built them a seat.....

Jen, you're way over the edge.;) ;) but I love you anyway. I would have done the same thing, except added a ladder to make access easier.....

You guys are too much! But I have to admit I would have done the same. :rolleyes: ;) :D

Great pics, Jen, and it's obviously a favorite spot since you got a pic of so many of them enjoying it. :D

Excellent idea, Jen. I'm sure the kitties appreciate your adding to their comfort in an obviously desirable spot. I keep thinking of this house I saw on HGTV where the people literally installed catwalks all through their house. Keep that hammer, nails, boards, and pieces of carpeting handy, as you've got a bit more construction to do.
