I'm absolutely certain that my cats would love a big hammock like that. We have one guest room that we always keep closed so that a visitor won't have to sleep with cat hair. I think Lizzie the calico knows the sound of that particular door latch because although I can usually be vigilant and keep her from going in with me, as I come out, there she is waiting for the opportunity to dash around my feet and hide under the bed where I can't reach her. There's nothing in there that would attract her, but it's territory she wants to establish as her own. I could put a longarm in that room and give up the guest bed, but I don't think it would completely solve the cat problem.
