6 Cat Hammocks For Hanging Loose
Your cat wants be up high. Give them a cosy nook to sleep in with these relaxing hammocks
Share Article
Cats, being supremely chill beings, can always use yet another place to lounge, like say, a cat hammock.
So how does a hammock differ from a bed or tower or window perch? “Hammocks also cater to your cat’s natural instinct to be up high; however, they can be safer for bigger or more active cats who might roll right off a shelf,” says cat behaviourist Pam Johnson-Bennettopens in a new tab. The raised sides of a hammock offer more support so cats feel more secure and they’re more comfortable “for cats who enjoy curling up tightly to sleep.” If your cat goes full bagel at naptime, a hammock could be just the thing to elevate their snooze game. From freestanding to wall-mounted models, we round up six hammocks that your cat can hang loose in.
