Mancat Monday

Figgy's hammock.
Hi everyone, it's the Mom today.

Last week, I went to visit my friend S and his kitty, Figgy.  Figgy is about 20 months old.  He is a handsome orange mancat.  I love visiting with him.  He loves to talk and play - sometimes he'll play fetch with me for an hour!  He has so much energy.

Anyway, S had seen Carmine's hammock, and I thought Figgy might like one, so I sent his dad the link in case he wanted to get one for Figgy.  He decided it was a good idea and ordered one!

So when I was over there last week, we got it out so I could set it up for Figs (my nickname for him).  It is made a little differently than Carmine's, and the instructions were not very helpful!  I played around with it for a while and tried all kinds of configurations trying to figure it out.  Oh the joys of being blind as a bat, haha!




But I persevered.  I was determined to get that thing together for little Figs! 

Figgy eats some treats off his hammock.


After a lot of playing around with it, I finally figured it out.  Did I sure feel accomplished (it doesn't take much!)!

After I got it together, S put some treats on it for Figs.  Figs gobbled up the treats but didn't stay in the hammock.  He'd check it out occasionally while I stayed, but he wasn't too sure what to think of it quiet yet by the time I left.

The next day, I got this photo.  Figgy decided he likes his hammock after all!  I figured it would just take him a little time to adjust to his new comfy place. :)

  4. Figgy is so handsome! That's to be expected, though, as orange boys sure do rock. And he looks so happy and cozy in his hammock. I have yet to get my kitties a hammock, but really do intend to. Happy Monday!

  8. It usually takes a little bit for a kitty to decide whether he likes something - I though Figgy would be in that hammock sooner than later.
