I guess I can take a chance. Even MDF can be painted to seal it? - could be cheap & nasty chipboard though - only one way to find out........ :evillaugh:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

It will depend on what is underneath the fleece cover. If it is a composite MDF type thing then it may blow apart when it rains. If it's  more solid wood you could just varnish it up, pop on a bit of rubber matting and off you go ;D

Thanks but I have seen those and they need to be fixed to something - I need one similar to the one in the link with vice type things that just tighten up under the ledge. I think I might order one of those and try it without the fleece cover on. Maybe a bit of rubber matting will work for on top?

I'm on a roll today, stumbled across this site and looky what they have! Looks plastic so suitable for outdoors perhaps?

Thanks Angie,

I am looking for something that I can screw onto the ledge rather than something that I need to drill holes etc as I am hopeless at DIY and so is OH  :evillaugh:

Something like this but one that can be left fixed to the ledge outside. it isn't big enough for her to lie down - I could use some wood and two vices but it wouldn't look very nice  :evillaugh: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cosy-Place-Cat-Shelf-Bed_W0QQitemZ150380947197QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=ebca1ba011c0a0e20405bd85fffa3e6f
