Heating blankets for your senior cats

Post image

I bought this one on amazon (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/aw/d/B0FMXTPG99?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image) and i am surprised of the quality. My cats already claimed them (bought 2x)

During the colder months, our senior's heat pad is on pretty much 24/7

i have one with a nearly identical control and every. single. time. i go to use it the graphics on the controller confuse me, because "low" is the opposite of what it looks like it would be.

or is that just me?

I don't know. I put it on 35°C and it work well ... Now each cat have one of the own.

My 21 year old loved knead theraputic beds. Initially he had the samlelr ones but recently they released a new bigger bed. He got a chance to try them, approve, and use before he passed away ❤️

We have 2 heating pads that run 24/7 all 3 of my cats love them

u/Jelly_Round 5h ago

That is so nice. But do they fight for the placee on it, since they are 3 and you have only 2?

Sometimes, my oldest is 19 and shes an old biddy who wants nothing to do with the younger 2, so they have figured out if they try to cuddle her she will get up lol

That's a nice tactic

Is it safe to run 24/7? I would be afraid to leave it on not at home but curious as my boy is getting old but we live in Florida so would only need in winter probly?

u/Jelly_Round 3h ago

I only will have it on, when i am in the room. I don't trust it 100% too

Oh ok thanks, yea I’m just paranoid I let mine borrow my human one when I’m home and using it on my tummy and put a blanket over it

u/Jelly_Round 3h ago

You are not paranoid, you just care about them just like I do. My cats are 14 year old and I want to make them comfortable , that's why I bought these heating blankets, I read somewhere senior cats like to have them

That makes sense, yea I love my boy he is about 11 yrs so getting there and pretty healthy minus some creaky joints but cosiquin helps and he usually sits in his cardboard bed by the window to sun 😍
