I have cats that I share an office with about 1000 ft. sq. They get on my desk to get warm via electronics. Can they stay in the room & off desk?

I wouldn't recommend catscram. I would go with a can of air. my cats are terrified of having air sprayed.

The CatScram is great for this purpose, but your presence will set it off so I highly recommend that you get an AC adapter to prevent frequent battery changes.

It's motion activated within 8 feet. If you place the device on your desk, it should only go off if they get on the desk.

I used it inside but plugged in all the time cause my little kitty was very old. It does not get very hot, so it was just enough warmth for inside. I would think it might not get hot enough for outside, but if it is in a covered box, maybe it would work. I lost my little cat, 21 years old, this February, but I kept the pad for another day because I liked it so much.

I don't own the desk, but I can tell you if you plan to put a tower in one of the shelving spots it will cause your computer to run hot from lack of air. Also, remember that you have to run your wires too from back there.

If under your desk, probably. Heat will always radiate if nothing stops it.

It depends on just how large the room is. I have a pretty nice size kitchen and bedroom which are the two places I put the feliway due to those being the rooms the cats frequent the most. I never used one in my living room even though they go in there yet I have still seen great results. As long as they are exposed not covered or behind or being blocked by anything it should be okay. If your cat visits the living room the most and you are not sure about the square footage just buy the two pack 1st and put both in that room.

The product needs to be left plugged in until it runs out in about 30 days.It is only effective when plugged in AND the cat has acclimated to it (responds to the pheromones). If the windows are open more than one product may be necessary to be effective.

I honestly don't think you can. The pad heats up with the help of your pet's body temperature/ pressure. It doesn't produce much heat on its own. For instance my apartments room temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit. When my cat lays on this warmer pad the temperature rises to 106.5 (temped it using a digital thermometer by placing it under him and between the warmer pad). The normal body temperature for cats falls in the range of 99.5-102.5 Fahrenheit. This pad raises it by 3-4 degrees. If my cat is not on, the pad feels warm, but only by a few degrees above room temperature. So I don't think the yogurt will be very warm. I honestly don't think you can.

Ive left mine on 24/7 some. Think of it as an electric blanket. My cat loves it. I put the bed on the coffee table during the day and on the foot of my bed at night. Its just purfect for him

The covers are made of metal so they will get warm if you put them on a hot burner. However, if your cat gets burned, it will probably stay off the stove.

Absolutely. We left ours on (two of them) while out of town. I do put a thin pad or towel on either side of them so the kitties aren't laying directly on them. We got them in Sept. and have never unplugged them. Hope this helps!

It's nice and warm inside the cat house. It's on my front porch for an outside cat, and last night's temperature was 44F (Philadelphia, PA). When you stick your hand inside the cat house, it's soooo nice.

Yes, I put mine in an insulated house and my small feral cat colony is warm all winter. They have never allowed a mouse in my house or a squirrel to steal a tomato :)

I put it on my covered deck under the table hoping to keep me warm when I wanted to sit out there. Just doesn't put off enough heat to keep me warm in cold weather say in the 30's. I'm sure if you located it in a somewhat closed area it would be great for the cats.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time during very cold weather since our kitty can go out as she pleases, she can come in and lie on the heated pad any time she wants. We usually find her in the garage sleeping on the pad, very comfortably. We have had no trouble with leaving ours on.

As long as the pad and cord is in good condition, I don't think there should be an issue. I have a plastic Kitty Tube house with foam insulation and bedding. The mat gets warm, but maintains a safe temperature. I highly recommend the mat, it was literally a lifesaver for the feral cat(s). Thinking about buying a second one this fall.

My young coworkers did (I bought it for a group that's stuck in an office that is actually a large closet) -- so I'm going to assume that cats would follow suit.

The normal body temperature for cats falls in the range of 99.5-102.5 Fahrenheit. This pad raises it by 3-4 degrees. He really seems to like it. I WOULDN'T recommend placing this pad in a cage where your pet cannot move off the pad when they feel too hot. My cat makes that decision himself. He will leave and lay next to it when he feels too hot.
