Yes, you can follow these steps as a starting point for setting up window cat shelves. However, there are additional considerations and modifications to ensure the shelves are safe, comfortable, and functional for your feline friend. Check out these tips:
Use sturdy materials like solid wood or thick plywood to support your cat's weight. For comfort and grip, cover the shelves with a non-slip material, such as carpet or sisal, using glue, staples, or both.
Plan a layout that allows your cat to easily climb, jump, and lounge on the shelves. Consider the height and distance between shelves, as well as the overall accessibility for your cat. Incorporate multiple levels, and possibly a gradual ascent, to create a stimulating environment.
Select strong brackets or supports, such as heavy-duty L-brackets or floating shelf brackets.
