Actually, I have TWO free standing hammocks! (no spoiled cats here, no way! he he) They are different brands, the other one is plastic. They both get used regularly. The other one is in the cellar, so we don't get to enjoy seeing them in there too much. I know they use it, because they move it around and it gets full of fur. The one you see in this photo, well, just now we are using it as a "toy box." I put all the toys in it each evening before going to bed. Bobby spends the night scattering them about the house. He thinks this is a GREAT game! Chestnut and Crystal just go in and sit ON any toys in there. Vita used it regularly until I put the toys in for Bobby to find. Now he has been here maybe I can move the toys somewhere, give him a NEW game. Crystal loves to play with a small high bounce ball. She gets it fromt he hammock, she and Dad play (he tosses it, she chases it and brings it back to him for another toss). When she is tired, the balls end up all over the place. But she knows she can always find one in the hammock; Mom sees to that!
