100% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I have three cats of various sizes, and I love to spoil them. This cat hammock was something that I wanted to try as they have never had one before, and I thought they might really enjoy it. The good news is that they did enjoy it, but the bad news is that it's also too small for them to get much use out of.
This hammock is a good lesson for all customers to check the sizes of a product before you buy. It's clearly listed as 40cm x 40cm, barely over a foot each way. This means that an adult cat, even my smallest adult cat, will struggle to fit on it. My largest cat, a big orange male, couldn't fit on it at all. If I had a young cat, a kitten, or a very small female cat they would be able to fit on this and they would love it, based on how my cats have reacted.
Be really sure that this product is right for your cat's size before you buy. If you have a kitten, or a small cat, then this product will be great for them. The soft, velvety material it's made out of attracted all my cats and they loved to touch it and sniff it even though they couldn't find any way to fit on it. It's also very easy to set up, requiring just four velcro strips that you can wrap around any table leg or chair. Because it uses velcro, it's also very easy to take down and clean, but the sound of velcro adjusting every time they stood on the hammock did give my cats a fright more than once.
All in all, I would say that this product would get a four star review if it was only for kittens. As a cat hammock, I think a lot of customers will be disappointed if they didn't check the measurements before buying. Be aware of its size, and if it matches your needs, you'll be happy with this hammock.
