They literally sleep in these every night. Just the other day, I walked in and found them BOTH sharing one, which was the cutest thing ever. Just FYI they weigh approximately 25 pounds together. I would say I have them about 3 feet off the floor. My heavier/stronger cat jumps directly from the floor into the seat and it doesn’t budge. My smaller cat prefers to jump onto something else before entering his seat. I truly was skeptical, but now I don’t know how I went so long without these seats!

I mentioned the install approaches as I’d like to test how well the soaking actually helps. I also installed the second one with the side cups pulled in a bit like other reviewers had mentioned. I think it’s a great suggestion, especially if you got some fat cats like I do ;).
Overall, I am very very pleased with my purchase. I will update my review if anything to the contrary comes with prolonged use. I will be taking the cushion out of the first one just simply for having more room.

First photo is the second install. Second photo, you can see how much taller his body is due to the pillow. He still, clearly, liked it though.
Also, install was very easy and it seems most seriously sturdy on my windows. I used 91% rubbing alcohol to clean the windows and cups

We still had the carrier behind the second row in our SUV covered in a large beach towel for the litter and a safe space to hide if they got scared. But they really never used it except for potty time. Once we arrived at the house they had their carrier and a small area to get used to the space before introducing them to the rest of the room and home. We spent 2 weeks in Pinetop on vacation in the family cabin where hubby came up for the weekends. Then 4 days in Cali and a couple days in Prescott at client’s summer homes as hubby worked.

This last week the 14 week old kitten, Rowan/Stevie (a tuxedo male), was adopted after being cleared from his health issues and neutered. He had to take a longer time to get healthy and become socialized enough to be adopted. His forever family is ecstatic that he is already likes traveling and is planning to get one of these for their car/home. Lark is 13 weeks now (a diluted Torbie, which is a Tortie with Tabby markings) and will be spayed this coming week as she just finally passed her 2 pound mark! She was very, very ill, small and eventually the only survivor of her litter after her sister Gracie passed. 😭

I loved our tiny Gracie. Our teen daughter and Lark have bonded VERY strongly (as Torties and Torbies frequently do with a single person, though she loves hubby and me, too). So we have officially “foster failed” and will be keeping her. 😂 She has had a great time traveling, seeing all the scenery especially all the birds, dogs and people. Though they can’t always see her through the tint she Meows, Trills and does that mostly silent bird fascination sound to them all! Though she will likely have to share her perch when we bring it into our daughters room with our other two cats! I think we will need to get another one or two of these to keep them all happy! ❤️

It took all of five minutes to convince DoD to try it, and it’s become one of his primary resting spots while the car is in motion. The suction does occasionally get lost with large temperature changes, but we haven’t had any major mishaps yet. The biggest downside is a lack of color options. A bonus feature would be the ability to move the suction cups around the frame.

The product is well made, seems sturdy and to accommodate their girth, I did (as was suggested by another user) bring in the side cups in closer (well with that window, I didn’t have a choice), and it wasn’t as narrow as other people have experienced.
