The other cage in the "ferret room" is much bigger and he thinks that is his little personalized enclosed kingdom (it nearly touches the ceiling). Oh how he loves it, my goodness
When I made the hammocks I was expecting them to hold one of my ferrets' weight...not a growing boy who eats like there's no tomorrow...suppose i should buy more fabric and make a cat one..my luck he will still prefer the ferret ones and he'll stretch them all out
oh well, guess it gives me an excuse to do more shopping
He is definitely telling you he wants a hammock of his own. Either that or he want to be near his ferret buddies.
My last cat sitter had two ferrets. Aya enjoyed playing with them. When I'd come back from a trip she'd look around the apartment all confused like 'where'd the furry playmates go?'
oh, he gets along really well with the ferrets. i should take a video of him with his favorite, a little bubbly girl named Pino. they play like littermates..except he's grown since then and she hasn't so it looks pretty funny
Until I came here today I didn't know hammocks existed for cats. This lady has them and also the lady who owns Queen Eva has them too. How cute they are. How did you all know hat a cat would enjoy a hammock?
Adorable!! He does look to be getting a tad to big, haha. Do the ferrets ever join him?
My dad has about 17 ferrets (all but one are rescues) that have free reign of most of the house, but have two very large cages with hammocks. My sister's boy cats stayed with him for a month (post neutering) and LOVED those hammocks. They crawled in the cages and slept in them all the time. They also liked playing with the ferrets. Maybe they were long lost relatives to your boy!
Anyway, when he was a kitten he liked to sleep in a little long handled easter basket I had hanging from the handle of a kitchen cupboard. I think I kept wash clothes or towels in it at first, but once Baby discovered it, it was his.
Unfortunately he grew, and grew and grew, and soon became much too big for that basket. He kept using it though, even though there was considerable overflow, and in fact, I think by the end he was simply laying his body on top of it and letting his middle sink down.
By 'the end' I mean eventually the basket split apart and disintegrated, and that was the end of that. Wish I'd known about hammocks then. I'm going to build a Hammock Climbing Tree, my winter project!
