>Is there anywhere online that has "directions" for the "craftically >impaired" do-it-yourselfer who wants to attempt homemade hammocks? My sweetie loves the hammock I made for her. I used a hand towel folded in half. At first I used safety pins in the corners to attach it but have since moved to grommets (hardware store or craft store) or I have sewn on little loops. After you have the pins, grommet holes, or loops in the folded over towel, attach the towel to the cage using those little rings you buy in office supply stores. The kind that snaps closed to form an O. You can unsnap them easily to remove the hammock for cleaning. I left the towel folded and didn't cut it cause my sweetie likes to nuzzle her nose in the fold and climb between the two layers to sleep. She looks so cute with her head and front legs hanging over the edge and the rest of her just a lump under the top layer of towel. When she doesn't want to be covered up, she sleeps on top of it. It's kinda like a hammock/sleep sack. Towels come in different sizes for different sized cages, are inexpensive, clean well, and come in tons of colors. If you can't find O rings, you could probably find some kind of clips to use too. On a not so good note, despite the food the vet gave us, Snickers is not gaining weight. She's lost another ounce in fact. But she's still full of lots of love and kisses and we cuddle as much as we can. Despite her lack of energy, she still finds the strength to defend herself from the sneak attacks of the toilet plunger. That evil thing. Well that makes 4 down and 10 more fml's to go before I'm caught up. OH NO, a new one will be arriving in a few hours. No sleep for me tonight! [Posted in FML issue 2493]
