Self Warming Cat Bed Self Heating Cat Dog Mat 24 x 18 inch Extra Warm Thermal Pet Pad for Indoor Outdoor Pets with Removable Cover Non-Slip Bottom Washable

The Purrfect Cat bed
I have never seen my cat take to a new bed quicker or sleep so soundly!! She has always loved my heated mattress cover, but now that she has her own self heating pad, she is so happy and content. The pad is soft and cozy and it really does retain her body heat. I am so glad I bought this for her … your cat will love it too!!

Love
My kitties love these mats. This is the second one I have. They’re soft and warm, and easy to clean. Mine was about an inch bigger on each side but thats okay.

Our older cat loves it
Nice pet bed not very thick but enough padding. Our older cat has loved laying on it since I put it down for her. She spends a majority of her time on it now so it must be comfortable and warm.

My cat loves it
Purchased for my boy and he loves it. When I first opened it I thought it looked like an oldrug and he wouldn’t use it. Well I was wrong.The size is perfect and so far it’s been holding out. Not sure yet how to clean it but might try putting in washer and air dry. He lays on it all day but i do have it on top of his bed because it it very thin. I don’t know if he would lay on it alone but on top of his bed he loves it. So far, so good. He loves it!

TL;DR (for those not up to snuff on online lingo, this means “too long; didn’t read” and summarizes a lengthy post, or in this case, a lengthy review. You’re welcome.)– Gorgeous, soft sherpa or sherpa-like top cover.– The cats use it and will sometimes stay there for a long time.– Try covering it with a pillow case or one of your t-shirts if you’ve given them, say, a week or two and they really don’t seem to be catching on that this is a good thing. Also catnip.– It is not a bed but a pad. You’ll be disappointed if you’re expecting it to be thick like a bed.– It does not heat up on its own but uses the pet’s body temperature to provide heat. Hence the description self-warming or self-heating.– It is not noiseless. There is a quiet crinkle sound.– Overall an excellent purchase and one I highly recommend.I put this on a chair in front of the loveseat where we sit. It took both cats a few days to be brave enough to sit on it (we had placed them on it a few times but they jumped off of it immediately.) Once the cats discovered it for themselves they started lying on that chair when we’re in the room, and will sometimes stay there long after we leave for another part of the house.I bought another one of these of a different brand from Amazon (cheaper than this one) at the same time I ordered this. This one is much nicer, though to be fair the cats seem to like them both equally. I just think the cover of this one is softer and a better quality material.In spite of what the listing says, it is not quiet. There is a crinkle sound. To me it sounds a bit like when you pull apart clothes from the dryer that are stuck together by static cling. It is subtle but worth mentioning for people who can’t tolerate certain sounds. One of my cats kneads it before she lies down on it so I think she likes it. It’s like a crinkly cat toy.I see so many reviews saying the cat didn’t take to it. The key to making it work is just like the real estate mantra: location, location, location. And time. Just let them discover it and try it out themselves. It may take a while but be patient. Put it in a spot you know they like already, or are likely to like. In a sunny spot perhaps, but somewhere near you. Cats want to be in the same room as us, if not right next to us or on our laps. I saw one reviewer say that now her cat lies next to her on the couch since she got the pad. You can always put a pillow case or one of your old shirts on top of it — or wrapped around it — if your cat is fussy about textures and just doesn’t like the top fabric. Also try sprinkling a little catnip on it.Lots of comments in the reviews about it not being thick. It’s a mat, not a bed. You can put it ON a bed if you like but this is not meant to be thick like that, though admittedly they do use the word “bed” in the heading for the listing before they call it a pad.The mat does not heat up. How it works: the bottom of the cover blocks cold, the bottom layer inside reflects the pet’s body heat, the next layer up insulates, and then there’s the top cover, which is the part they lie on and is a beautiful, soft sherpa. It uses the cat’s own body heat to create the warmth. I have one of these I bought years ago that plugs in and even it doesn’t actually heat up but also uses the cat’s body heat & weight (it needs some weight, I guess, for all the layers to work together.)I am impressed. I wasn’t sure if it would flop because I was skeptical that it would stay warm as it says it does, but it works!

Thinner than I expected, but soft and cozy. My cat ignored it for 2 days but since then has slept on it for a few hours each day (for about a week now). I got the 61×46 cm size and it’s perfect for my 10.5 lb cat. I like that I can remove the cover for washing but I haven’t washed it yet.

It’s a nice pad, I use it outside in the spring to fall and inside for the winter. It is washable and all our cats sleep on it.
