I've got a simple little wooden bench from IKEA pushed right up against the living room window, with a thick memory foam cushion on top. My Scottish Fold, Mochi, just hops up there with zero effort, no climbing required, and she can watch birds for hours without twisting herself into a pretzel.

A low, wide cat tree with a top perch at couch height works perfectly. I placed a two-tier unit directly in front of the patio door, and my Fold simply steps from the floor onto the lower platform, then one stride up to the top. No jumping, no scrambling, and he has a clear view of the yard.

A sturdy, low-profile storage ottoman placed sideways beneath the sill does the trick. I use one with a plush velvet top, and my Scottish Fold, Whiskey, simply steps from the floor onto the ottoman and then onto the window ledge. It eliminates all climbing, and the ottoman doubles as a cozy perch when he feels like lounging closer to the ground.

A low, wide bookshelf tipped on its side with a plush blanket works wonders. I dragged an old three-shelf unit out of storage, laid it flat near the back door, and tossed a fleece throw on top. My Scottish Fold, Gus, just strolls over and plops down without any jumping, and the solid sides block drafts while he stares at squirrels.

A simple, sturdy step stool with a thick, washable mat on top placed directly under the window works beautifully. I bought a two-step plastic one meant for kids, covered the top with a fleece pad, and my Fold, Tofu, just walks up the steps and settles in. No jumping required, and the lower step gives him a place to rest his paws while he watches the street.
