Does it stay warm as long as the kitty is sleeping on it?

Yes it does. I've picked up my outside kitty when she got off of it and her little body was warm.

It seems to. In the morning they are warm after sleeping however long they sleep at night. It seems to keep them warm as long as they are on it.

Yes, it is pretty much just a blanket that holds heat and acts like the insulation in your house. If you have an old army blanket (wool) that would probably work as well. The pet crate pad is just less bulky.

It has a reflective layer inside. So any heat put out by your pet is reflected back into it, instead of into the floor. It does not generate it's own heat.

yes, it will keep it warm for a certain time but it won't be hot. Overall, we really like this lunchbox. My son used it all school year and now for summer camps.

I believe it gets to about 120 degrees when first heated, and then it tapers off to maintain a warmth of about 90 to 100 degrees for many hours. So it is very hot to start out, and needs to be in it's cover for sure. When using it in my cat beds, I also put it in one of those baby receiving blankets to make sure it doesn't burn them, and always make sure they have part of their bed or nest to move away from it if they get too hot.

Just unplugg it or put it on a timer for night time use only. It's not that warm but our outdoor cat loves it we had remove the front flap ( there's front and rear flaps ) for her to go in it at first. It's spendy but well made.

I'm not sure of the exact temperature but it's a very low heat. Just warm. It was made that way so that a cat can sleep for long periods without being burned.

I can't say what the temperature is but when switched on, it takes the initial chill off. That also happens because the flaps help stave off cold as well. My homeless cat enjoys the little warmth when it is cold (under 35) in Atlanta winters.

No. It might keep it warm for an hour or so. But not for a long period of time.

Yes, I have two of these and leave them on 24/7 in the winter. My older cat loves it. Just make sure your kitty can visit the bed as he/she wishes. I keep mine in the corner on the stair landing and on the end of a couch.

yep... my poor ol kitty only weighs 8 pounds and he finds it plenty warm.. turns out you can put a pillow on top and it will warm up. so basically its the "closeness" of the cover that causes it to be warmer not the pressure of the animal.

It seems to stay pretty warm for I would say 30 minutes once it is fully heated up. I typically just leave it plugged in the entire time I am in my vehicle for my pet so he stays plenty warm. Once I shut off my truck - it shuts off but stays warm for a good while.

It doesn't get hot like a heating pad you may have for yourself. It doesn't really seem warm at all when you feel with your hand, but if you leave your hand there a few minutes, you can feel the heat easily. My cat loves it! I also ordered another one for my 3 lb. maltese...she loves it as well. This winter was the first time I'd ever seen her stretch out and sleep, she was always curled up with her nose tucked. It's clearly doing the job and we love it. My cat sleeps on the top when it gets too warm for her, my dog just stretches out the floor.

No, this bed doesn't keep the cats warm without a cover on top. I have the sleeper on a patio chair that's under the patio table and the table is covered with a waterproof table cover.

Hi Mark,I think your bed is probably working correctly. I also wondered at first why it didn't feel warmer on top, but I came to realize that when the cat is in the bed it's body traps the heat. I think if it were any warmer it might be too hot. It is just right for my old kitty.Good Luck,Sarah Sirchuk

I think so- I placed mine in a dog-bed (so two or more cats could snuggle) and have had no problem. The mats don't get really warm; I'd say the temp was just right.

I'm not sure. I only have one indoor only cat, so she gets it all to herself. I think it would depend on how the cats in the colony get along. Just a heads up, if you're going to be placing it outside, the heat won't last as long. Mine is inside our house, burried in her cat bed and it stays warm almost for 24 hours. If its outside in the cold, and not insulated (wraped in a thin blanket or towel) it will cool off rather quickly. Also, the pad isn't "hot" its warm, so if it has been burried in too many blankets or something similar, the warmth of it may not reach the cat at all. It takes a minute for me to be able to feel the warmth through the pillow I have it under, but my cat loves this! She's on it all day!

It does get warm, but I'm always cold so this works for me. Having the mattress pad over it does help.

Yes it does. It starts out as almost to cold. It stays cool for about 3 to 4 hours then it seems to be hotter than the memory foam because it is storing all that heat. You have to take it off then and let it cool. Not the most conducive to a good nights sleep!
