6 Cat Hammocks For Hanging Loose
Your cat wants be up high. Give them a cosy nook to sleep in with these relaxing hammocks

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.

Build a climbing frame with this two-piece set that includes eco-friendly sisal rope-wrapped steps and a machine-washable fabric hammock. It’s ideal for cats who need a boost reaching their favourite perch.
A treat for your cat and your living room. This aesthetically pleasing hanging cat bed might be a bit tricky for older or less adventurous cats to access (make sure it's not too far off the ground or you're going to have a wildly swinging kitty) but it sure does look nice.
Perfect for sunseekers, this stylish hammock works as a freestanding item on its own or it hooks to a windowsill to allow your cat to get maximum rays.
Is there such a thing as too cosy? This cat hammock doesn’t think so. Not only is it made of super-soft faux sheepskin, it also hooks to the radiator to keep your cat deliciously warm (as long as your heating’s on).
