Window Sill Cover

My husband and I just bought our first house. Jack really likes to look at the birds and little furies out the window, but with he windows in our new house he has to jump up and put his feet on the sill in order to look out. Is there anything I can put on the sill to protect it from his nails? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer it be something that is easily removable so it can be cleaned.

Thanks!

I have a stool for Ollie .....perfect height when he puts his front paws on it .

we have a window seat for puspus, it would be REALY easy to make, peice of plywood, clue some padding to the top, cover in fleece. theres industrial vlecro on the part that attatches to the windowsill and then 2 metal rods bent into Ls with suction cups on the end that brace the rest of the seat against the wall so it doesnt flop backwards...
pusspuss loves it

Granny,
Unfortunately my widow sill is chest high on me so i don't think that would work.

Thanks both of you for the ideas!!

This wouldn't be a solution per se.....but Wilson's solution is to climb onto the dining room table and REALLY get a good look...

Get a piece of quilted fabric that you can velcro to the windowsil and remove to wash.

You know, you might not even have to use velcro - just run it underneath the window and close the window down on it. That should keep it in place.

With sticking the fabric under the window, how weather tight that would be? I live in the Midwest and we have some pretty drastic weather changes that I would like to keep out of the house as well.

Thanks all for your suggestions!!

you could probably trim one of those heavy rubber outdoor welcome mats to fit perfectly. They're made to not shift and they're heavy duty.

It depends on how your windows work. If they open/shut by raising/lowering, it might give you more draft protection. If they're crank style, not so good.

I like Gina's idea about the welcome mat!

Thanks Guys!! The welcome mat is a good idea.
