With its summer and winter sides, it can optimally meet the animals’ seasonally changing need for warmth.

Customers appreciate the quality of the material and the ease of assembly.
The possibility of using the cover for different seasons is also mentioned positively.
However, some customers express concerns about the attachment of the hammock. It is pointed out that there are occasional problems with the adhesion of the suction cups, which leads to dissatisfaction. In some cases, the hammock even fell down, which was seen as a safety risk for the cats.
Our practical test showed that the stability and material quality of the hammock are positive and there was never a safety risk. Nevertheless, we recommend occasionally checking the adhesion to the suction cups with heavy animals to ensure that the product does not pose a long-term safety risk to the cats.
Installation was straightforward and the hammock proved to be a comfortable place for the cats to lie.
