Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First, let me say that whoever relied on just the velcro and then whined about the kitty sill falling down, was incredibly naive and impractical. I mean, velcro?? It's a gimmick that they threw in there just to say that there are "two ways" of attaching it, but realistically, I wouldn't trust velcro to hold my cat's big bottom on that thing. Second, all the people complaining that the legs didn't fit or fell off - you were attaching them the wrong way, or not all the way. They need to snap into place, facing the right direction, and by snap into place I mean actually snap. That isn't easy if you're only using your hands, unfortunately, but don't give up until you hear that snap. I used a mallet to beat down on them, but yeah, eventually they did snap into place, and from that point on it would take more than a cat to get them off. Once you have attached the legs correctly and all the way to the snap, you drill the thing into the window sill and rest easy. Despite the fact that it's not a solid piece of plastic but a mesh frame, it's actually quite sturdy. The cover slips on and off easily, including after you've screwed the board to the window sill. The foam gives off a very strong smell, but that airs out pretty quickly. It took my vertically insecure cat 10 days to grow the cojones to try it, but one fine morning she finally did, and on that day she did not come down from it until dinner time. UPDATE: We've had this kitty sill for 3 years now, and it's still in great shape! I don't see any sagging or signs of wear at all. We haven't had any problems with it falling or anything else, ever. Even the foam layer hasn't compressed or anything! The cat absolutely loves that thing, and spends most of the day sleeping on it or looking out. My only complaint is that the material of the slip cover is such that it gets embedded with hair and is hard to clean, but even that's not a big deal. Overall I've been extremely happy with this kitty sill - it's very durable, it looks nice, and the cat loves it! I disagree with the 1-star reviews and would definitely recommend it! UPDATE #2: It has now been 7 years and 2 kids later (wow!) and the kitty sill is still holding strong! My kids are 4 and 2 years old and despite all my warnings, keep occasionally hanging off or climbing onto the kitty sill, but it hasn't fallen off yet! The main structure is intact, but the padding and the cover have gone to sh**. I replaced the padding easily with a piece of foam I had lying around from something else. The cover, however... How can this company not sell replacement covers?!?!? Do they expect you to buy a whole new kitty sill when the cover inevitably wears down? After 7 years our cover has been worn through, and the elastic is stretched out too wide, so the cover doesn't even stay on anymore. It's a sorry sight. I keep thinking I should make a new cover myself, but why should I have to? Shame on this company for not providing replacement covers! I still love the product itself, and so does our cat (and kids), but the cover situation is frustrating.
