Grandma Nell Climbed Into the Hammock for a Quick Rest. Onyx Climbed In Too.

Two sturdy oak trunks hold up the woven rope hammock, and dappled sunlight filters through the leaves, scattering patches of gold across the yard. Fallen oak leaves dot the grass, a blue watering can and a folding chair with a striped blanket sit in the background, and potted plants line the fence. Nell has sunk deep into the hammock in her denim shirt, eyes closed, face completely at ease, her silver braid resting across her shoulder. Lying across her chest and stomach like a heavy, shaggy black comforter is Onyx. His eyes are shut, his tufted ears relaxed, and his long fluffy tail drapes down over the hammock's edge, swaying gently with every breeze.

Maine Coons are known for their easygoing, affectionate nature and often enjoy relaxing close to their favorite people. Because they are such a large breed, it is important to make sure any shared resting spot can safely support both of you. Hammocks should be well secured to strong trees or a stand, and it helps to get in and out slowly so a startled cat does not scramble and scratch. Outdoor naps are best kept to shady spots on warm days, and a cat should always be supervised outdoors or kept on a harness to prevent wandering. A quick tick check afterward is a good habit, too.

For now, nothing could disturb this peaceful afternoon. The leaves rustle, the hammock rocks ever so slightly, and Nell and Onyx sleep on together under the old oaks, as content as two creatures can be.
