….this works great! – Kitty litty loves it. Wife was a bit put out as the cats heating pad cost more that the one I got for her bad back. Well the cat does not nag or moan! Aside from this if you have a cat and its cold Kitty will purr all day on this thing and the cat will stay on this rather than a) Your couch b)Your bed c)your hair. Excellent product and delivered Amazon fast! A+

I read all the reviews for these mats and was concerned about the heating pad size. DON’T BE!! The heating pad runs almost the length of the mat and centers well in the middle. The fleece side of the mat is certainly my cat’s favorite side. It heats well and is already well loved. They must have upgraded the product, because the heating pad itself is now the perfect size for the cover.

Don’t you love products that ended up being used as promised. I do.
Our cat has fallen in love with the mat and has given up sleeping on the A/V receiver. No problem putting it on top of a chair: it barely feels warm to the touch.

After a day of ignoring it and refusing to acknowledge its existence by my cats, there is a fight over who gets to sleep on the mat. I have a 14-year-old cat that is arthritic and she has deemed it hers; it nice for her to have a heated area to go to now that the weather is getting cooler. It has eliminated her rough jerky movements that usually occur on cooler mornings. The mat keeps her toasty and fluid. It looks like I will be purchasing another since it is a hit!

My kitteh really seems to enjoy this. The heating element is just enough to keep her weary old bones happy. Size is just right, also.

Imagine this: We take in an older, abandoned housecat cat in November, and then decide her shedding is too much. We live in the midwest, bu we gave her the boot anyway. She cried all night to come inside until I researched, then purchased this product for her. I put an (upside-down) cardboard box over the top of it (cut a small entry door), sat it in the garage, and the rest is history. She got inside her new home within seconds the day I placed it for her, and NEVER begged to come inside our house again. I should mention that I tested the temps on this product, and just as advertised, you can feel a very small amount of heat radiating from the mat without touching it. When you apply a small bit of pressure, you can feel the warmth increase. Cat loves it, we’re happy too.

I purchased this thermo mat after reading that a heated pad could help alleviate my cat’s arthritis. She is 17 years old and craves heat more and more as she ages. I live in Wisconsin, and winters get cold, so I wanted to make sure she stayed cozy even if I set my thermostat down while I was away from home. She loves it, and so do my other 4 cats. In fact, they all tried to cram onto the one mat, so I had to buy a 2nd. Well worth the purchase.

My cat is a “sauna cat.” In the middle of summer, she would sleep on the overheating stereo receiver, or block the X360′s exhaust vents. This winter, these are no longer available, and she’s constantly pestering me for a lap. Which is nice, and makes me feel loved, but I know what she really wants. So I ordered this mat.
As soon as the mat arrived, I plugged it in, confirmed that it making heat, and set the cat on it. The cat did not move for two days. She barely gets up to eat. I’m sleeping alone, and my lap is always empty. Unconditional love? Hah!
It does not appear to generate heat until you press the foam cushioning. If you’re a cat, you can accomplish this easily by walking or lying on it.
I believe it acts as an insulator otherwise. This should reduce waste heat when the cat is not on it, but some cats may not be impressed, what with their short attention spans and all. Once you’re pressing on it, it generates what I would describe as the “perfect level” of warmth. (My cat would probably want it scalding hot, but I couldn’t stand the smell of burning hair, so it’s for the best.)
The heater insert is less than 6″ wide, so it does not get warm all the way across its 12.5″ width. It does get warm from end to end down the middle. The product would be improved if the entire pad got warm. I could probably fit two warming strips side by side and heat the entire surface of the pad… is fire safety an issue here?
Heater insert width notwithstanding, my cat says I should give it 5 stars, so I have.

Our older cat loves his heated mat. It produces just enough heat to keep him cozy.
