I'm for it If it would get my kitty to stop sleeping on my laptop everyday...she digs the warmth my computer generates. Crazy cat!

Absolutely! And I wish they'd had building codes in England in 1825 when our house was built and that the 8" requirement had been one of them - and so do our cats.....
We put little tables by the windows to compensate for the lack of sills, so they can sunbathe, rubber-neck at whatever is going on outside and make Hannibal Lecter noises at the birds they can't (thank goodness) get at.
We have only ONE windowsill in the whole of a pretty large house. (Well, there may possibly have been more originally but if so I suspect some pesky Victorians removed them.) So as well as the cats having to put up with second rate "penking" accommodation ("penking" is Yorkshire for being d***n inquisitive!) we also have to sacrifice a side table to our geraniums when we bring them in for the winter.
Btw we wear fringes to hide the word, "mug", written across both our foreheads!

I don't think building codes should *require* 8" windowsills, but I think you may have identified a specialty market for homebuilders.
I have three cats who love to sit in our windows, so they would appreciate a minimum of 2 "Cat-Sills." Having these would eliminate the need for some of the unsightly cat trees I have -- especially one in the main living area. I like your idea.

Yes, I think that would be reasonable. Howeer, you can expand the windowsills yourself to 8 inches. Lots of plans for doing that (including non-permanent for apartment dwellers) on the internet.

I think it's a great thing to have because even though I don't own cats, I like plants and that would be a great place to grow window plants. But whenever they say "there oughta be a law," I'm skeptical. There are other ways to get perks like that.

Great idea! Where else will they sleep! Cat's would love it!

Nah, that's what they make kitty condo towers or those window sill attachment shelves for. :)
