For Needy Pets: The Pet Hammock

The Pet Hammock hangs underneath tables and a cat or a dog can sit on it when someone is working at the table.

I think one thing I would like to change is how the hammock hangs onto the table. In my first design, I wanted it to hang on by a hook and a round circle around hung onto the table, however that was not realistic because that meant everyone who bought the product had to have circles on the bottom of their tables. So I decided to make a right angled shape to grasp onto the sides of the table. That was what I did for my final design, but I think that it isn’t good because its not stable and cannot support so much weight. Next time, I would want to do a thing that can grasp onto both sides of the table and be tightened so hammock won’t fall off the table.

One concern that was shared with me was that some they might not be able to get onto the hammock platform by themselves because they are animals so I installed a ladder. The ladder leads up to the platform so the cat can climb onto it. An alternative idea could be a person carrying the animal onto the hammock instead.

That is my design for the needy pet design challenge.
