Self-Warming Thermal Cat Cushion

With winter coming, I am thinking of getting a Self-Warming Thermal Cat
Cushion for Rusty. He is getting older and probably needs something to
keep him warm at night. There is a picture and description of it at

Has anyone used it and what do you think of it? Does it really keep the
cat warm?

Thanks for any info.

I bought one of those about two weeks ago. TuTu likes it but it is in
front of the bathroom heat register. At least it keeps one side of her
warm. She will crawl in bed with me in the early morning hours. In the
past I have had a cat bed with a low heat pad inside. That seemed to make
her too warm. However, Princess (RB 16) used to love it. Best wishes.

I got something like that for Pan, and he reallly appreciated it in the
cold weather. What I did was put it on my bed between my top sheet and
my quilt, as it made a funny crackling sound, which he didn't much care
for. Under the quilt though, and with the morning sun on the bed, he
loved to lounge there. My girls don't pay much notice, though. They
prefer lying all bunched up together, or else they lie on top of me,
their heated, padded food dispenser.

We have one and the cats like it. Mind you, they much prefer the
electric one.

I'm thinking that Roxy would like this - she's the heat-seeking missile
in this house. In fact, in the fall - when it's cooler out, but not cold
enough to turn on the heat - I flatter myself to think that Roxy is
suddenly filled with deep affection for me, as she loves to cuddle with
me. But as soon as it gets cold enough to turn on the heat, she abandons
me without a backward glance for the back of the couch, where she can
soak up the heatwaves from the baseboard space heater. I also often find
her burrowed under blankets or throw rugs when it's cold in the apartment.
Maybe because of her herpes, she gets chilled more easily.

So I think I'll get one of these for her. It's certainly a lot safer
than an electric one. Someone I know accidentally burned a kitten on an
electric heating pad (the kitty is fine now!), so I've been wary of them.
Not to mention being potential fire hazards. The self-heating one can be
available even when I'm not at home.

Of course, I might have to buy 3 of them.

The liner in these is the material foil "space blankets" are made from isn't
it? I'm thinking it might be easy to add a layer to some of the existing
cat beds.

Mostly it keeps cold from coming up through the floor and body heat from
draining downwards.

Hmmm. Wonder how many I'd have to sew together to make one for DW.
She's cold almost all the time.

I think Rusty would really appreciate that. Let me know what you think
when you get one. I was curious about them too.
Depends on how cold you keep your house, but he might like the electric
ones, too. They are very safe, not like human heating pads. The max
temp is 102 (the cat's body temp) and the element is encased in hard
plastic with the cord wrapped in steel. You keep a fleece cover on it.
I got ours back when I had a stray that I was keeping in the garage
during the winter. They get good use out of it when it gets extremely
cold, but kind of ignore it when it is not-so-cold. It was pretty
expensive, IIRC.

LOL! You sound like my DH! He actually bought me a couch throw that
plugs in one year for Christmas. It made me feel like such an old lady.
To make matters even worse, he bought *his mother* the same thing that
year.
