Everything you need to know about The Perch and Whisker & Oak.
THE PRODUCT
What exactly is The Perch?
The Perch is a desk-mounted cat bed that clips directly onto your desk edge. It gives your cat an elevated spot right at your side so they stay close, stay content, and stay off your keyboard all without taking up desk or floor space.
What styles does it come in?
The Perch comes in four styles: Ivory Cloud, Woven Straw, Natural Oak, and Soft Gray. Each is designed to complement a modern home office aesthetic.
What is The Perch made of?
The Perch features a soft plush surface, a solid wood frame, and a reinforced metal clamp. The plush cover is removable and machine washable.
FIT & COMPATILIBITY
Will The Perch fit my desk?
The Perch fits any desk or table with an edge thickness between 0.4" and 2.4" — this covers most standard home office desks, standing desks, and dining tables. If you're unsure, measure your desk edge before ordering.
How big is the seat surface?
The seat surface is 13" x 13" — spacious enough for most cats and comfortable for two smaller cats who like to curl up together.
How much weight can it hold?
The Perch holds up to 50lbs — the highest weight capacity in its class. Whether you have one large cat or two cats who like to share, The Perch can handle it.
SETUP & USE
How do I install The Perch?
No tools needed. Slide the clamp over your desk edge, tighten the knob until secure, and position the bed where your cat likes to be. The whole setup takes under two minutes. Removal is just as fast.
Can I reposition it once it's installed?
Absolutely. The 360° rotating bracket lets you adjust the position anytime. Loosen, rotate, retighten — done in seconds.
Will my cat actually use it?
Most cats take to The Perch within the first day or two. Cats are naturally drawn to elevated spots — it's hardwired instinct. For best results position it at your cat's preferred height and add a familiar blanket or their scent during the first few days.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
How do I clean The Perch?
Remove the plush cover and toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. The hair resistant surface means less buildup between washes — but when it's time, cleaning is as simple as it gets.
Will it damage my desk?
The clamp is designed to grip without scratching or marking your desk surface. For extra peace of mind on delicate surfaces, place a thin cloth between the clamp and your desk edge.
