Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 19, 2022

Tommy’s Woman evidently has better luck with plants than the Woman. Or perhaps Tommy is too nice and Sophie is too polite to destroy them.

Boy, a hammock in the living room…..what luxury!

I wonder if Jacqueline (Tommy’s Woman) really does have a hammock in her living room. (envies) ❤

Now I want a hammock too!

I slept for ten years or more in the tiny living room of my apartment on a rocker-recliner with heat and vibration which also had a base that allowed it to be twirled around. I loved that chair. I was so sad when I had to leave it behind.

Everybody wins! :D

It’s a TommyRocker!

Everyone is hamming it up…or is it down?

Meow like a cat!

Nothing like a nice hammock. I used to have one strung out between a couple of live oaks in my back yard, used to be the perfect way to relax and listen to music or a baseball/football game on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. This kind of motivates me to go purchase a new one.

Hammocks, like beanbag chairs, are best for the young and agile with smoothly working joints. I think I could get into a hammock, but getting out would be an entirely different story.

We had conventional furniture, but Yang wouldn’t have been happy with his own hammock. For him the best place to sleep was anywhere one of the two-legged members of the household was settled in.

I hammock camp, I also have one for my yard. Takes me about one chapter to fall asleep in it.

Man, now I want a hammock in my living room. Not that I’d ever get to use it, since it would be full of cats at all times, but still…

RSORTB! And they’re Tommy’s, which is even rarer!

Why would it be dueling hammocks?

Tommy is so peacful and serene in his little swinging slice of heaven, he does not look like he wants to compete with you, just enjoy the harmony.

Tommy could be the world ambassador, he only wants to be happy, and hopes to provide happiness to everone else. That’s why he and Sophie are not paw pushing – Tommy knows how to be content, and let his partner have happiness, too.

I like the way your Hawaiian shirt lays

Against your fur so brown

And I want to nap with you in your hammock tonight

With sweet cozy fleece all around

‘Cause you got a peaceful easy feelin’

And I know you won’t let me down

‘Cause we’re almost touchin’

On the ground

I need this living room hammock in my life. My back, however, says otherwise!

♪"Hammock time, and the livin’ is easy"♫

Tommy in cel two = pure bliss

I have a confession. I have never been in a hammock in all my time on this planet.

Oh sure, I have sat on a variety of chairs, some very comfortable, some…well, not so much. I have laid on hard mattresses and soft ones. I sat on a waterbed once…no thank you. For the last thirty years or so, I have not sat in many seats by myself. Usually, there is a furr-ball assigned by the Great Cat In The Sky to be on my lap demanding attention. Lately, that task of lap-cat has fallen to Hamilton in the evenings. I should point out that Hamilton doesn’t sit on your lap, as much as he seems to have been poured onto your lap.

Today, I am not even sure I could get into a hammock. Arthritis is very cruel and very limiting. However, based on seeing Tommy and his Woman-Person, I think I might have missed out on something very fun.

Weren’t the stripes on the hammock green yesterday? Now they’re blue.

In my mind, I picture Pucky’s ears perking up at the mention of “ham.”

my son has a hammock in his bed room, it has a frame and is free standing.

Ooh, count me in! I wanna try!

dis is da life

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Maat-Tilda: We have a bit of space-time fabric left. Any ideas how to use it?

Sophititi: We could make a lovely robe for Her Majesty.

Maat-Tilda: Yes, but she already has so many.

Sophititi: And Beatrixia has a space-time climbing curtain.

Maat-Tilda: Then maybe someone who is an unsung hero.

Sophititi: Of course! Who else but our own Royal Chef?

Sometime Later

Thomios: I’d like to show my appreciation, but I am at a loss for words. So I’ll just speak from the heart:

Zzzzzzzzz…

Would you lie in a hammock in Hamburg while eating ham hocks and listening to ham radio with your pet hamster?

Well, they both successfully got into them without incident—that’s half the battle right there.

Our two beasts have a hammock in their tree, but prefer the altitude of the plinths. Ah, Maines…

In a hammock-lounging contest, everyone wins.

Where is the rest of the crew? I would think at least Lupin would be sleeping in the hammock with the woman.

I want a living room hammock!

At least until Sophie decides she wants the hammock and Tommy can’t have it OR the cat tower.

But don’t the cats prefer the human one?

My cats like to turn the couch cover into a hammock.

A hammock, I wondered what the heck he was in

We’re discouraged from posting links here, but I believe anyone who posts here about their pets being sick or dying will want to read the January 19 Ask Amy.

Two cozy hammocks in the living room… deliverance

I had a hammock for a short period of time. It had metal ends to keep it wide, unfortunately, it wasn’t long enough. I’m tall, and kept kitting the metal ends when I would finally get semi comfortable.

A hammock in the living room? Interesting. Sounds cozy. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually tried a hammock; I’m curious about them
