I have hanging windows that swing out. Will the cat bed have to be removed to open and close these types of windows or will it clear ok?

If I'm thinking correctly of what your windows are...I think you would have to take it down each time you open them. But, it has velcro and is very easy to take down and put back. I got an extra strip of velcro and use it in a Different spot when i need to. (Before I just buy another one)

Eh, no I think it should be fine. It just depends on how wide your windowsill is

The actual thickness of the shelf, pad and faux Sherpa is about 2 inches at the most 2 1/2 inches. I measure 2" on mine. It would also depend on your window ledge size, how close it is to your window. I like the Velcro suggestion, it does make the removable aspect easier. The predrilled screw holes are only about 1 1/2 inches from shelf edge if that helps out.

If you can position the cat genie so that the mechanical part is by the wall, then the portion the cat uses will be more open. I haven't had that problem

The window's side panels are spring loaded for retracting. Screw knobs hold them tight in that position while you place the pet door into your window. It will fit your 22" space because with both panels retracted it's around 18" wide. After you place the pet door in the center of your window opening you can release the knobs and the side panels will pop open against the side of your window. Retighten the screw knobs and it's in place. Additional Info: I had to purchase additional foam insulation strips to stick onto the top and bottom of the pet door and window bottom before I put it into place. Just had the whole pet door out to clean the windows and door itself so I added another layer for this winter. Then I cut two 3/4" dowels to use as "locks" between the open sash and top of the window frame to keep anyone from taking the pet door out and coming into the house. We live in a very low crime rural area in the NW but I felt better about doing this. You will notice some cooler air leakage into your house but this pet door has stopped the sometimes constant in and out routine I used to go through with our very active cats. Now they can go out into their large, totally fenced yard as much as they want. They also play with each other through the door itself. Everyone is happy!

Yes. With the way my window is set up, though, I have to remove the shelf in order to open or close the window because mine is horizontal. The shelf hooks on to the bottom pane where the window itself sits.

No but you will want to secure the window somehow so that it cannot open. I cut a broomstick to fit exactly in the space between the raised window and the top of the window sill.

Depends on your definition of easy... you need to take off all 9 bolts/wing nuts and lift the top off to remove the door. Your cat might accept it as a bed with the door on but open.

The length of the bed is approx. 23 and 3/4" and around 14" at its widest point. It's made out of a hard plastic and possibly could shave a little off each end to fit snugly in the window. The cover would hide it. Mine is sitting on a 3-3/4" sill and I used only the Velcro strips to hold it up. My kitties love it so much, I had to buy a second one. Good luck!

It is springy, a tight spring. So you would shorten it with strong twist ties. We mounted ours onto a plywood board with a hole cut in the board center. The board is made a size to fit in a window. Our cat enjoys going in & out the window but staying safe in the tunnel. We also have the tent house attachment that allows even more outdoor room.

No you don't need to open your windows. It will stay cooler if you do close them. You can use it in a some what closed area, but it does have a filter in the back that needs to pull in air to run. I use it in all my rooms.

That is exactly what we are using it for. Yes, with very little effort, it does come off. I also left a some extra along the side to make it even easier to take down. Also, make sure you use either the Gila Solution or a baby shampoo/water mixture when you put it on the window. Good luck.

If this is going through glass, you would need to somehow cut out a section of the glass first (otherwise the cat door would not swing in & out). Then, my guess is that in order to put this in any window at all, you would have to build a framework of wood for the cat door to be anchored into (the framework of the cat door has a minimum depth of about an inch; you take the four corner screws out and the two halves separate, then you put the outer half on the outside and the inner half on the inside of your framework and then re-screw the two halves together). If that will work for you, then I think the answer to your question is "Yes".

Yes. My cats get out on the balcony through it. It's not really designed to keep animals in or out. It's designed to automatically shut after someone ( or a pet) walks through it.

When you open the window, the bed rises. Mine rises to a point that my cat cannot reach. Yours may be different. By the way, I've tried other window seats, this is by far the best ever.

That is a good question. My window opens out. I am not sure. I have secured my shelf with screws. I guess it depends on the screen.

No, it does not have to be open. You will still be able to open and close the window if you'd like, though. The perch sits on the window ledge - it does not touch the actual window.

Yes, the liner has a frame of its own that will 'close-off' the hollow opening of the door. Be careful, though when tightening the two halves of the cat door together that you do not put too much pressure on the door facing and collapse the door; you may even want to insert 2x2 sections into the hollow-core door opening to give it interior support.

I don't have mine going out a window . I put a knee high on the end of it . Works great
