My "Lucy" loved this bed. Since she refused to use a litter box, she became an outdoor cat. She had been indoor/outdoor and was not declawed. At night and cold days I could always find her in this bed, which we kept plugged in in the garage. She was a small cat and this bed was just right for her but I would not recommend for a large cat... must revise... Lucy is no longer with me (was 19 yrs old) and I now have a very chubby shelter cat that fits pretty well in this bed... but I would still not describe him as a very large cat. The bed is surprisingly small when you look at it and please don't be put off when the pad does not feel "warm" to the touch (as I have seen in many negative reviews). This is not a heating pad and would burn the cat if it was. Animals do not need "extra" heat like we do to stay warm, they just just need a surface that will not steal away their own body heat. This is a super product.
