This heated kitty pad makes a great addition to a winter shelter for outdoor cats. I believe in keeping cats indoors, but if you love cats, you may find yourself dealing with someone else’s outdoor cat, or maybe even ferals. I looked at a similar product at PetsMart but it was marked for indoor use only.
The heating element of this kitty “pad” is inside an air-tight black casing that feels like thick plastic. The cord is 5 1/2 feet long, insulated and covered with a steel coil so that you don’t have to worry about a critter chewing through it. The pad is big enough for one cat and luckily, it fit perfectly inside of the small igloo I set up on my back deck. The instructions say do not immerse in water, so the pad shouldn’t be used in an open area, though I think it would do ok on a covered deck that stayed dry most of the time…and it makes sense to try to provide shelter against the elements for the cat’s sake, anyway, so if you’re providing a good, dry shelter for the cat, then the pad should be ok, too.
I placed my igloo under a patio table, which I then covered with a waterproof tarp (using patio chairs covered in shower curtain liners as entryways), so the pad isn’t exposed to any moisture at all. The kitty has used the igloo and the heating pad many days this winter – well worth the investment.
By the way, if you order directly through the manufacturer’s catalog, they make the heating pads in semi-circles specially sized to fit igloos…but this small cat pad fit in my igloo just fine.

My cat is around 10 years old and only weighs 9 pounds. So, he is always in search of warm places. I think he has heat vision cause he can find warmth anywhere. I felt bad that he kept laying on top of the stereo to stay warm, so I got him this heated kitty pad. I got the outdoor version because he likes to chew on power cords. But, I use it in indoors.
He sleeps on it for hours a day and seems to love it. The pad is a harder plastic material and I was expecting it to feel more like a padded seat. But, I put a soft t-shirt onit and it doesn’t seem to bother him.
Also, if you have the space, get the largest size of the several sizes they have available. I think the one I chose was too small for even a small cat. He can’t really stetch out as much as I think he’d like to.
Also, 102 degrees sounds really hot to me, but it is actually a comfortable temperature.
Overall- my cat loves it and I’m glad I got it. Just get the biggest size they have available and plan on using a thin padding or getting Revival’s padding so that it is softer but also transfers heat.

I purchased this pad for use in an outdoor feral cat house. I use it in combination with a thermocube so it turns on at 35 degrees and off at 45 degrees. I keep the pad, cord, and thermocube completely inside the cat house and run an outdoor extension cord to an outdoor outlet. This has worked perfectly and is so much easier than the microwaved heating disks that only last for a few hours and don’t keep a mild consistent heat. Our outdoor kitty seems to love this arrangement too!

I bought this for a ferrel cat that showed up and decided to stay..
I put it in a doghouse and once I did that the cat spent most of the winter inside the doghouse staying nice and warm all winter long..
A great way to keep outdoor pets nice and warm and no more worries about them on those cold days…

Have to agree with the other reviewers – this was a great purchase for an outdoor feral cat. We use an outdoor extension cord and put the heated pad inside a small doghouse. Kitty LOVES this mat and it’s held up well so far (going on second year).

I hate the fact that I had to banish my cat to the outdoors. I love her very much. So we put a cat door in the garage so she can get in whenever she wants and set up a nice warm insulated box. Then I purchased the Outdoor Kitty Pad. Pebbles didn’t use it at first. I did have to put more blankets on top. (You aren’t supposed to do that) I also sprayed it with the catnip spray. She LOVES it! To the point even if she gets inside the house she asks to go out now so that she can sleep on it. It actaully may be warmer than my house! (I keep the house COLD)
Buy it!

I searched quite some time for a way to keep a couple of feral cats (that adopted us) warm during the winter when I came across these heating pads. After trapping them to get them spayed and neutered, we set about making comfortable beds for them on our covered porch. Concerned about the cold, I tried these pads. The company was very friendly and helpful. The pads arrived much faster than expected and look to be of great quality. There is a nice washable cover included and the cords are wrapped in metal so the cat can’t nibble on it & be harmed. The moment they found out the pads were in their beds they rarely leave them. I can actually even pet one of them now! If I were to speak for the cats, I’d say these are a real hit. I plugged both of them into a power strip with a switch so I can just hit it with my foot to turn them off during the day when the cats are out making their rounds.

Outdoor Heated Kitty Pad with Cover
Just purchased my third heated outdoor pet pad. Bought the first two at Petco at a great price last year. Put them inside dog igloos for my outdoor kenneled cats. [My kennel is 16x20 feet.] I purchased the small outdoor kitty pad for my in-laws 2 male outdoor, neutered cats. They have been sleeping under an outdoor floodlight bulb and on top of carpet in a box on the back deck. I hear they stay in bed more now that it’s cold!

We have a stray cat that comes every day for food and water. We were worried about winter and how he would survive so we got an insulated dog/cat house. We wanted additional warmth for him so we bought this heated cat pad. Winter weather arrived about 2 weeks ago and he has been in his nice warm house ever since. He loves the warmth generated from this pad and spends most of the day and night sleeping on it. I have only one negative comment. The pad is made of a hard substance and we had a hard time getting it to fit into the house. If it were somehow flexible this pad would be absolutely perfect.

We bought this for our outdoor cat and placed it in our garage. He has been on it most of time ever since. No complaints!
