Recently both Good Old Boat and Sailrite provided ideas for covering pushpit rails and catbird seats.  Simple and straightforward, you too could be sitting pretty.

Good Old Boat (March/April 2013 issue) had an article on covering catbird seats by Clarence Jones that is easy enough for a non sewer. He used iron on fabric mending tape to create the seams and snaps to hold the cover on.

Sailrite just did a video too.  They sewed the hems and used Velcro to fasten the cover.

They both used home foam insulation underneath.

Either way would make a nice comfortable perch for any catbird.
