5.0 out of 5 stars Great for outdoor cats and ferals, November 10, 2006

This review is from: K&H 3093 Extreme Weather Kitty Pad with Fleece Cover (Misc.)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Peace of Mind for Your Outdoor Cats, December 8, 2007

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Now going into our 3rd winter, and it's still working, November 3, 2009

Updated 12/29/11 It's still working fine going into our third winter. I am planning on buying another one for another perch. The cat loves it.

Updated 11/5/2010: Still working after one year. Our cat seems to like it, and with only a 40W rating, it uses little electricity. I have been keeping a large bath towel over the supplied cover, and it works fine. The cat is nice and toasty. I have also upgraded my review from 3 stars to 4.

Like another recent review, this is a hard plastic heating board, not a flexible pad like a human heating pad. Let's see how this goes. Instructions say not to cover it with anything other than the special pad provided. I think the manufacturer wants you to buy their covers. With only 40w output, anything would probably work. I can't imagine a 40w output would burn out with another cover on top of it. It you are expecting something soft and flexible, keep looking.
