Cold weather update – 20 pound cat loves it!
Six month update – now with cold weather!The hammocks are in use daily by all cats. Recently, one had a medical situation and was inappropriately urinating all over, including these hammocks. I decided to experiment with washing methods and placed the entire assembled beds in the tub, used gentle detergent on the affected areas, and thoroughly rinsed them with the shower attachment and left them to air dry. They were pristine after washing, and they are again in use by everyone. I placed inexpensive infant receiving blankets in them, and the cats enjoy the warmth. The beds have remained rock solid, and even with rough-housing play, there has been no fabric fraying, punctures, ripping or tearing.I have large and EXTRA large rescued cats entering their geriatric years. I catsit for several others with similar needs. I discovered these low to the ground hammock beds and bought ONE. It was simple and easy to assemble, and I write this as someone with moderate decreases in fine motor coordination and very little hand strength. All of the screws, nuts and a phillips screwdriver were included with an instruction manual that had pretty good directions and helpful illustrations.As soon as the hammock was set up, I sprinkled some catnip in it and waited – for about ten seconds. My largest cat climbed right in and not only fit, but had room to get and stay comfortable. I then purchased two more – another for my crew and one for the silver tabby pictured, who is becoming arthritic. He also climbed in, settled to a comfy position and visibly relaxed. His partner in catdom, the orange and white Zooomie master, took a turn, so I ordered a fourth bed.Pros: very easy to set up. Easily accommodates large framed and heavy cats (thinking of Wegies, Maine Coons, Sibes, etc). Easy to spot clean. Low to the ground. Sturdy and stable – no wobbling. Can add blankets or place within soft sided beds to block drafts/increase warmth in cool/unheated areas. Feet caps prevent floor scratches. Competitive price. Very lightweight and one hand only required to pick up and move it.EDIT Cons: DOES NOT require complete disassembly to remove and wash the fabric “bowl”. (took me about 5 minutes to test this – really not difficult). The entire bed can be washed intact if the frame fits in a tub or shower area. No CONS observed!Unknown: how fabric weathers in outdoor conditions, but it appears to be able to withstand some sun, water and catnip spray.EDIT: Six months in, and the beds are in daily use without signs of wear and tear by cats weighing 15-20 pounds.Two weeks in, and the occupancy rate is still climbing.

Reasons I’m giving this 5 stars:1. EASY TO PUT TOGETHER. My 5 year old daughter wouldn’t “let” me put it together, it was so easy. All I was “allowed” to do is tighten the screws afterwards. PLUS, it comes with its own screwdriver. Seriously, no hunting around the house for tools. It doesn’t get any easier than that!2. QUALITY. Everything fits together well and is sturdy and strong enough to hold my growing 12.5 lb Maine Coon kitten. The metal is coated and the mesh padded, strong and sewn together well.3. VERSATILITY. With the metal being coated and the fabric being fast drying mesh, I’d think it would work well indoors and outside in the catio, for 3 Canadian seasons (my cats love it so much I’m going to buy a second one and try).4. SIZE. I bought the round one and can’t speak to the size (or comfort) of the square one. The round one is a nice size with an impressively deep mesh area that can easily accommodate my 10 lb senior domestic short hair cat and 12.5 lb growing Maine Coon, with plenty of room to spare. Also, I can’t comprehend how it would be too small for a cat— they are experts at fitting into small and tight spaces and they like being enclosed, even if they are chubbier and the fit is a bit more snug.5. MY 2 CATS LOVE IT. The most important feature, without a doubt. One of my cats is always in it.It’s everything you’d want and expect— the product feels like it was designed with cat comfort and preferences in mind. Great buy!

El material se ve resistente y tiene buena ventilación ya que los gatos son calientes y se sienten cómodos sin agregar nada mas sirve solo hay que ir lavando seguido ya que después de un tiempo si no esta limpia los gatos no la usaran mas.

Man sollte wirklich erst das Video ansehen, dann spart man sich das ganze wieder auseinanderzubauen. Ich dachte ich kann das so und musste es dann teilweise wieder zerlegen. Auch wenn die Stangen schief und krumm aussehen , sind sie genau richtig. Wer also der Anleitung folgt ist schnell mit dem Aufbau fertig. Das entsprechende Werkzeug wie auch Ersatzschrauben liegen dabei. Leider haben meine Katzen bisher kein Interesse gezeigt, sind aber von Natur aus erst mal kritisch. Also von mir volle Punktzahl.
