Abstract
A portable, collapsible shelf includes a generally rectangular frame with a panel extending across the frame to support a cat or the like. A pair of clips are snapped on to one of the frame members to permit pivotal movement of the frame within the clips. The clips are mounted on a storm door, immediately below a window. A pair of chains are mounted to the door jamb, with lower ends of the chains removably connected to the shelf, to thereby selectively retain the shelf in a horizontal position. The chains may be disconnected from the shelf to permit the shelf to pivot downwardly to a vertical storage position.
