Tools:
Sewing Machine

Great idea! Though I fear my cat is traumatized now.. He's apparently not the hammock type

My kitties are pretty heavy (kitty no. 1 is 12 pounds, kitty no. 2 is around 8-9 pounds) so I'd rather use metal hangers and comfy, but thick fabric.

how about using velcro to attach the ends to the hangers - that way you can easy remove the cover to de-fur without worrying about fitting the hangers in the washing machine/dryer OR for the sewing-challenged, use some fusible web to iron the ends together around the hangers. thanks for the awesome idea!! now i can make one for pennies instead of buying one, as originally planned :-)

Great idea!

I may have to make a couple of these for my roommate's kitties. They'll love it!
