Heated cat bed recommendations?
We think that Cleo would benefit from having a heated bed to help keep her
aging bones warm. Looking at drsfosterandsmith.com I see that they have quite a selection of heated beds. Does anyone have any recommendations as to heated cat beds to stay away from, or any they have been pleased with? Dan |

I can't really recommend one, but Yoda has a "heated pad" that's covered in fleece. He is on it a lot in the winter, and I know it feels good to his old bones. I originally bought it to keep out in the garage, we had some stray out there one winter, can't remember which. It has a steel-wrapped cord, which I thought was a good safety feature. The max temp is, I believe, 102 degrees. It's supposed to be very safe. Sherry |

Heated cat bed recommendations?
I used a regular heating pad for my 20 + year old kitty a few years
back. I left it on low and covered it with an ALL COTTON towel - and that is important!!! Don't use polyester on top of whatever heating devise you decide on. The heat can go through the fabric and burn the cat's skin. My vet warned me of this. |

I think you need to use extreme caution with regular heating pads. You'd have to be absolutely certain the cat won't, or can't chew the cord, or claw into the wires inside the pad. Sherry |

Sherry Heck, you have to be extremely careful with them for humans! The one I have (only a couple of years old) gets uber hot even on LOW. I can't use it comfortably on my shoulder for more than 10 minutes even when wearing a heavy t-shirt. I worked with a woman who had one of these: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...fm?pcatid=3487 She had an elderly mostly outdoor kitty. She tried getting her to come inside on cold nights but the cat just didn't want to, so she tucked this inside an old cut-off sleeping bag. Jill |

Jill I've never seen one of those. That would be ideal for orphan kittens. Sherry |
