You have to think 3 dimensionally with cats. Remember to them, the ceiling is just another wall.

Yep. I have seen the cats cross the “living room” without touching the floor; window sill -> side board -> leap to dining room table -> leap to wingback chair -> onto other window sill.

A lot of the designs I see here and there are fairly low; e.g. 4’ or less I already have wide window sills on all rooms that are about 3’ up. Those are used for transit except where there are lots of plant pots - and in that spot the side board is there to walk on instead. Lower than that is various boxes and such to crawl into and hide behind.

And since I have 12’ ceilings and a relative lack of wall artwork in the one room I figure that would be the potential spot to “go tall” with something that might go 8-10’ up, anchor to the wall and possibly lead to a ledge for looking out a window and possibly some high staggered ledges on the wall in the other direction. (The issue at this point becomes having things properly anchored and having a ladder that can get me that high - hopefully can borrow one.)
