Cat Hammock: Relaxed lounging with a view
Cats like raised spots from which they can watch everything. A cat hammock combines this lookout with a soft, yielding lying surface that your cat can sink into nicely. The fabric adapts to the body and supports it all round. Whether as a free-standing model with a wooden frame or fixed to the wall, a hammock is one of the favourite places to relax for many cats.
Free-standing, wall-mounted or on the radiator
The Kerbl Siesta and Siesta 2.0 hammocks stand on a sturdy wooden frame and can be set up anywhere in the room. Samira combines the hammock with sisal posts, so your cat can care for its claws at the same time. Nap is a compact model for smaller corners, while the Beach lounger with sisal is reminiscent of a deckchair. The Timber wall hammock made of solid wood saves floor space, and the Paradies radiator hammock adds warmth in winter.
Stability and location
Cats often leap into their hammock with momentum. A stable frame and secure fixing are therefore important, especially for large or heavy cats. Wall models should be firmly anchored in the masonry. Place free-standing hammocks in a quiet spot, ideally near a window, so your cat has something to watch while dozing. Removable covers make cleaning easier.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get my cat used to a hammock?
Many cats are sceptical at first because the lying surface gives way. Put a treat or its favourite blanket inside and hold the hammock steady with your hand the first time your cat climbs in. With a little patience, most cats discover the spot for themselves.
Can a cat hammock hold large cats too?
That depends on the model. For large breeds, look at the stated load capacity and choose a strong wooden frame. Free-standing hammocks with a wide base are less likely to tip when your cat jumps off.
Is a hammock suitable for older cats as well?
Yes, as long as it stands low and is easy to get into. Free-standing models with a low height are ideal for seniors. High wall-mounted hammocks are better suited to young cats that love to jump.
Hammocks for cats that like to lie up high
A cat hammock is a resting place with a view. Your cat lies a little above the floor, sinks softly into the fabric and can keep an eye on the room at the same time. Free-standing models with a wooden frame can be set up anywhere and moved whenever you like. Versions with sisal posts also offer a chance to scratch, while wall hammocks made of solid wood save floor space. For the colder months there's also a hammock that hangs directly on the radiator and makes use of the rising heat. When choosing, look for a stable frame, as cats often jump in with momentum. For older cats, low models with an easy entry are ideal. With a favourite blanket or a treat, your cat will quickly get used to its cosy new spot and make it its very own favourite place.
