Structure

Among the countless models available on the market we can distinguish various types of hammocks, based on their structure and the supports they may use:

  • Heater hammocks: particularly suitable for the colder months, they are mounted on a radiator or radiator and allow your pet not only to sleep peacefully but also to enjoy a comfortable warmth. But beware of take the measurements well before buying it, because fixing the hammock may not be compatible with the distance of your radiator from the wall.
  • Window hammocks: these models use large suction cups, which fix the hammock to the window without damaging it and give your cat the opportunity (undoubtedly welcome) to look out of the window and observe the outside world from a comfortable elevated position. Some models can also be fixed in a similar way to the radiator ones.
  • Wall hammocks: they are for you if you do not want to be satisfied with a shelf to provide your furry friend with a refuge in the highest parts of the house; have similar supports to be fixed to the wall without problems.
  • Chair hammocks: ideal for those who do not have much space at home, these hammocks are fixed to the four feet of a chair or stool, allowing you to give your cat the comfort it wants without attracting too much attention. Generally recommended for small cats, they are also the easiest to build at home if you love DIY.
  • Floor hammocks: they are equipped with a support (in wood or metal) that allows them to be placed directly on the floor without the need for additional supports, and therefore gives you the possibility to move them freely anywhere in the house. The simpler versions are not very tall, but this category also includes impressive models complete with a scratching post to support the structure.
