Maybe Kitty Kitty wants his or her own hammock?
Cats LOVE hammocks... at least ours do. The older cat (13) meows until I unzip and pick her up. My daugther's kitten (9 months) jumps on the netting and looks for a way in...
They make nice warmers on cold nights...
True John, but their nails are tough on the material :scared:
Agreed. I'm not thrilled when the cat jumps on my bugnet. Once in the hammock, I keep the cat contained to my TQ...
Mine likes hammocks and PeaPods...

My two "helpers" like to lay on what ever material I happen to be sewing, play with the thread going into the sewing machine, knock things to the floor(apparently just for the sheer joy of watching things fall), scratch my leg when they are hungry, and generally make a nuisance of them selves. I dont know how I would get anything done with out them!
Ditto! I've dubbed my Siamese, "Hammock Monkey," because she can't stand it if I'm in the hammock w/out her.
My ol' cat Boots used to love my hammock.....
He died in a coyote fight last year. Still wait for him to jump right in with me and make biscuits on my TQ.

Your videos (as crazy as they are) got me into hammocking.
Hope I've brought up some good memories.
Naw .... good memory!!!!Quote:

My mom loves to get involved in my projects. Together we've sewn hammocks, tarps modified backpacks etc. She has taken a real interest in my outings. In one room of her house she has topo maps to keep track of where I have hiked in the area. I've driven her down some back woods forest roads that she has been able to recall as a young girl. My grandparents would drive them back in the late 30's and mom would ride in the rumble seat.
Here's an old pic of my helper. He's gained a few pounds since then (rescue). He still doesn't know what to think when I hang the hammock in the backyard, but he knows he has to slow down when he runs under me in it...

This is my helper...Ms. Behavin' (JRT) is a hater though. No cats allowed and even other dogs are not safe. She loves people and that's about it. Don't let the sweet face fool ya.;)
Samantha's always near...After dark when we're sleeping outside if she's not right under me so she can touch me or nuzzling my hand, she'll lay at the edge of the tarp watching out for me. Good helper!

Hobbit,That's cool! My Mom was like that too. She always had to get out a map and see all about where I was going and insisted on pics of my trips. If she were still alive now since I've been hammocking I just know she would be sewing DIY projects with me. I come from a 4 generation family of seamstresses.Quote:

(I know thats off topic, but the picture of the dog next to the hammock reminded me of the incident!)
That's Funny!
