<p>If your cat spends half the day sunbathing, window watching, or chirping at birds, you’re living with a certified <strong>window lounger</strong>. These cats love warmth, light, and high-alert observation — and they deserve a bed that elevates the experience. 🐦🛏️</p>

<p>This article covers the <strong>best Purrz beds and pads</strong> to turn windowsills, ledges, or sunny floors into prime feline real estate.</p>

<blockquote>
“Cats need visual stimulation to stay sharp and satisfied. A sunlit lookout point supports emotional health, especially in indoor-only cats. Pair it with a comfortable, temperature-regulating surface for max benefit.”
