"My two boys were fighting over a pizza box that landed on top of the vent. I got them this hammock, and they take turns napping on it throughout the day. With it over the vent, they get nice and warm."

β€” brewmama

"The item arrived quickly (yay!!) in a ginormous box (boo!)... With it over the vent, they get nice and warm. However, upon completing it, there was no more wood splitting."

Bottom Line

While the hammock has a stylish design and is easy to set up, it is susceptible to durability issues and tipping. Take care when assembling and consider if the dimensions suit your cat’s size to avoid any surprises.
