NICREW Pet Heating Pad, Temperature Adjustable Dog Cat Heating Pad with Auto Shut Off Timer, Indoor Pet Heated Bed Mat for Cats and Dogs, MET Safety Listed, 17.7 x 15.7 Inches, 55W (max)

I keep my house pretty cool and my cat refuses to sleep in bed, preferring to stay downstairs where its the coldest. At first, I was skeptical that my cat would use this. The pad is sort of hard with a thin cloth covering. But after a couple days, he started using it. I recommend turning it on an hour before its needed to let it warm up. Also start with the default lower temps first and work your way up. If you set it to high and its too hot, your pet may decide to avoid it altogether. Ive found that when its above freezing and like 65 degrees downstairs that the 4th level is good. Otherwise, I leave it in the default 3rd level.

It’s weight activated and my cats adore it on a chilly night.

Update: this has stopped working after just 4 months. Although I’m disappointed, I was able to get a replacement from the company. Unfortunately I was not able to do it through Amazon, I had to go to their website. But the end result is the same and I’m glad I was able to get it replaced. The pad has a 1-year warranty and the process was easy, just an email with my order info. The cs rep was nice and I got the replacement very quickly (1-2 days.) I have 6 cats and every one of them loves this. They take turns laying on it while looking out the window. It doesn’t get too hot. I keep it on most of the day (I check it once a day.) The cover is soft and easy to clean, just throw it in the wash—I washed it on normal cycle, cool temp. A winner in my multi cat house! I plan on getting another.

My 17 year old cat is now devoted to the heating pad. It does not seem overly warm to me, but she likes it just fine.

I’m a little Yorkie. I get cold. No, I freeze in the winter. My grandmother bought me the 17x15 size. She puts it on the back of the couch for me. It’s my fav place at her house. Now! She’s getting even a larger warmer for her medium and small dogs to share. She’s a great pet parent. She absolutely loves this warmer!

It heated up nicely, contrary to what some reviewers experienced. The Cat inspected it a couple of times but never took to it, preferring instead her cozy cushy cat bed. The covering itself is not very welcoming: it is thin and the wires inside are very noticeable so the pad feels bumpy, not soft at all.

I love the size, My Little Fernando loves to lay on it. But it seems to not retain heat

I wish since day one the controls for the heat has never work it just stays on. It doesn’t turn off and I wash the cover that goes on the pad and came out in shreds. I’d like to be able to get another pad so I can use this I only bought it in November.

My cats spend hours on this. At first I wasn’t sure if it was heating because the heat is milder than you would think. I can feel it more when I put my hand beneath it. The cats love it!

seems to work well, but only a few weeks in so I cant say much more than that
