I love it

Who knows how the 'cats made their net bags, or that they had just one kind. I think both male and female have age rings but I don't know. this may be a female "Basket bag" for gathering native fruits ect. I imagine the scout net bag kinda like a net hammock. Perhaps edges and bottom tied in tube or shut with one open end with draw string

Although no text evidence for treecat basketry they are common among primitive humans. I would also expect bark containers similar to our Eastern native American tribes birch bark containers folded kinda like a Chinese take out box and sewed with sinew thread or spruce roots.

We do know treecats use gourds in Honorverse cannon, decorated with art. Here is quote from "Fire Season" with discussion of a treecat gourd scoop and decorative art:

“Remember what we talked about on the trip here? It has already been conclusively shown that the treecats use tools. That hasn’t been enough to prove to the narrow-minded plutocrats who have such influence here in the Star Kingdom that treecats are intelligent. What will convince them conclusively is proof that the treecats also practice art and possess philosophy and religion.”
As he spoke, Dr. Whittaker waved the broken pieces of a gourd scoop that had been one of his most recent finds. Although purely functional, it was etched around the edges with what were clearly images of the long, splayed picketwood leaves, fanning out realistically from a bough that began at the lower bowl of the scoop.
Anders thought the “art” wasn’t much more than what he’d done as a small child, but he had to agree that it clearly was meant to be representational, not random scratchings.
Langston was a few feet from the ground now. Kesia was raising her arms to steady the stretcher and guide it level.
“What’s wonderful about this piece,” Dr. Whittaker went on, wrapping it in what Anders recognized as his own spare shirt, “is that no one can argue that it was done under human influence. That makes it seminal.”

Well that's the molasses now for the sulfur, big toe on bottom foot on wrong side like hands should be to the center.
