This cat warmer is shown with a an 8 lb. cat...or less. It works but was too small for my cat. He is 16 yrs old and very thin, but weighs about 13 lbs. They should put a size guide on it. I had to cut off the bonnet so he could sit on top of it.

The bed itself is nice & soft, but I was disappointed with the heater, which is not the full size of the bed, but instead a tiny 9 inch by 9 inch square, which does not provide much warmth. You can purchase the exact same type of heating pad (made by K&H Manufacturing K and H Pet Bed Warmer) or larger for much less & insert into any bed with a zip off cover.

My cat spends about 85% of her time in this bed during the winter. It doesn't get overly hot on its own, but it warms up significantly when she is sleeping in it. I also haven't noticed a significant jump in the electric bill when its own. This is the second year she's had the bed and the heating element is still working fine (though I'm not sure it will survive another year, but they are fairly cheap to repace) She is a small cat though--she weighs about 10 pounds--and she fills up the bed nicely.

My kitty and I are so happy we purchased this pet bed. It keeps her warm in our unheated home. She is a senior and needs the extra warmth. It is true that the hood does not stay up by itself, but I folded a small blanket and put it inside to prop up the hood. I'm going to buy a few more for my other cats.

When I first opened the box, I was sure I would have to send this back. My cat is just under 1 year but only 3 lbs and the bed looked huge. I also was not thrilled that the top droops as other reviews mentioned. But then she started using it and she snuggles under the top and it sort of serves as a blanket on top of her. The size is no longer an issue now that she uses it, and if she ever grows, she'll grow into it. Keep in mind that it does not seem warm to us, but it heats up nicely when the cat is on it. All in all, it's a success and keeps her warm at night when the temp drops. Also, I have already washed it and it came out great. A definite recommend for this product. Just for reference, my other cat is about 9-10 lbs. and would be about the size of the cat in the picture shown.

My cat seems to like to sleep on the thermo-kitty hut but I was disappointed that the hood does not stand up as depicted in the pictures for this product. When she is asleep I can pull the hood partially over her. She does not burrow under covers and, since the hood does not stand up, she winds up sleeping on the open area left when the hood is down. The bed pad is thicker than the heating pad she had been sleeping on and she likes that. It also doesn't get as warm as the heating pad but she doesn't seem to mind. We have put the heating pad in my office and she only gets on it at night when I am working late, so it seems that she is willing to swap the extra heat for the comfort of the thicker pad. I just wish she could be shielded from the cold by the hood of the new bed which was what I envisioned when I made the purchase.

Heats great like the other K&H thermo kitty bed I have but that hood just doesn't stay up! And because it lies on the bed all the time, that little bit of contact does heat up that side of the bed. Is that good for it to heat constantly?

The kitty hut I received in the mail was not what was featured in the pictures. I received a bed that is essentially a flat disk of foam with a floppy hood that does not stay up. Foam underneath cover is lumpy too. I plan on returning this bed.

Seller sent product fast. Packaging was sufficient. Was a bit disapointed. Originaly got it for my 20lb cat but was not big enough for him. He is a tall and long orange tabby. Fortunatly my 10 lb., 16 year old silver tabby loved it. Kept him warm through the winter. What I didn't like was the lid kept falling down.

This little bed will fit an animal that is around 5 pounds. Anything bigger, its just a tight fit. The canopy cover does not move easily. There is just a wire holding it in place. And the heating pad barely warms the bed. Was not that impressed.
