Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Heated 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 have been considering same for tiger, will be excited to see what others say, Lee > We think that Cleo would benefit from having a heated bed to help keep her > aging bones warm.

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 Daniel is use these they are not heating pads but use the cats own body heat to reflect back the furballs love them no electricity no worries of fried furball http://tinyurl.com/5elzas > We think that Cleo would benefit from having a heated bed to help keep her > aging bones warm.

Care to email me off list and we can arrange sending it? We have three but only need two. It looks like this one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3261+1883+1884+17738&pc atid=17738 but ours is tan not green. -Caroline S. > Dan, > We have an extra one we're not using anymore.

Dan 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 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!!!

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.

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/product/prod_display.cfm?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.

Sherry >I worked with a woman who had one of these: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Jill that looks like what I was about to buy way back when Rocky (RB) refused to stay in at night. Just about the time I was going to order one he decided to start using the litter box and stay inside at night. > We think that Cleo would benefit from having a heated bed to help keep her > aging bones warm.
