I bought the K &amp; H outdoor mat with cover and it is a hard mat. Is this Mat soft, I would like to put it on his perch which is curved and indoors?

It should be great for that. There is ALWAYS a cat getting toasty on this mat! They absolutely love it and wish I had found it a long time ago!

It's definitely soft enough. If you're working on a smooth surface, like wood or something, it might skid along the floor. Hope this helps!

Yes! For extra cushion I also used the rug I had in the living room and placed it underneath the mat in his playing area. But as soon as they become more mobile they will crawl around the house and the hard floors are not a problem for them as I found out. Since I still think it must be uncomfortable, I just had him wearing pants all the time. So although the mat is great, they won't need it for very long.

We have 3 of the K&H outdoor houses (with the heating pads) and we started by putting their cat treats in them. Once they figured it was warmer in the house they have used them every night. We think you might want to put the blanket on the heating pad since they are used to that. You might also try the cat treat thing since they could feel the warmth on their feet they decided that was a good thing. We hope that helps!

I did not buy this after all. I bought one that fits into a corner. It is sort of a triangle shape, covered and beige. It has a flap on the front to help keep in the littter. I put a plant on top of it and little rug in front of it. It fits so neatly in the corner. It's perfect. Unfortunately I could not find that on Amazon. I sent them a request to start stocking them as I prefer to shop with Amazon. They have one that fits in the corner but it has no flap on it. Try Fosters and Smith. I hope Amazon will start selling those. Hope this helps

This isn't really an outside doormat. I have it on the inside of our doggy door. It is not hard and rugged like doormats. It very soft and my dogs like it as another place to lay. It does holds up well to being laundered. I use it to help catch water if their paws are wet.

Well, I can't really answer this one as I only use the mat in the summer and I it's not in his crate. I keep it on a tile floor where he likes to sleep if he's too hot and he'll stay on it for 2 or 3 hours at a time. I've never known it to heat up, it always feels cool when I check it.

I bought the hard heated bed too. And it only lasted a year. But the soft bed is great. This will be the 3rd year. My outdoor cat loves in. I can't get him off.

If you fill it too much it will become rounded. Also you need to let the air out of the top so it will lay flatter. I use one quart of water, this makes it firm enough to be comfortable. I put the hot water bottle under the covers in my bed to warm up the area for my feet and my little dog lays right on top of that spot until I go to bed and move him over. The smooth side is warmer so you may want to use the ribbed side up and cover it with something to make sure it isn't too warm for your cat.

I don't know what mat is in the portable crib but I do have this crib. It is soft but not thin, there is a wood board under the soft part and the mat wraps around the play yard when collapsed. Hope this helps!

Yes, we did for a few months in a large, carpeted room until the weather became nicer, then we moved it outside. I think the chances of getting hurt on this would be the same on grass or carpet. Enjoy:) We still love ours!

The one I received flattened out immediately! I love this mat. Another mat that I ordered (different brand) has yet to flatten out after six months of use. Maybe you can exchange the one you received.

While I can't answer your question definitively, I can say that mine is on a low nap textured carpet and I'm glad I bought the mat. I don't think that it would be as solid without it.

Yes, it is a soft case. It is sturdy though and has decent framework. The medium would likely be kind of small and tight space for two cats. My large 9.5lb cat cannot stand up in this. He can only lay down in it. Can turn around. It is very hard to even get him in it and I am considering selling my slightly used one. Sherpa does make a larger model on wheels. I think it might be the same height, though.

I believe that the hard one may be more resistant to damage from racoons and any animal which may decide to chew on it.Racoons do not seem to want to chew on the hard one as they did to the soft one that I had before. It may also be less likely to admit moisture. It is possibly safer for outdoor use. The hard one may seem as though it would be uncomfortable but cats don't seem to mind. They do not weigh as much as we do and may not need as much padding. It may be a very good trade off between comfort and safety. I would expect that a hard one would be better protected and last longer unless there is a manufacturing error.

it is definitely not. You want thicker plastic for softer surfaces. Also make sure that the size of the mat is large enough for you. This mat is pretty small.

I buy the grass mats for a 'chew toy'. It would work if your rabbit doesn't destroy the mat too quickly, either by chewing or fouling (toilet). My hutch has a wide plastic grid for the floor, but a previous wire grid cage did wear off the foot fur. Not so much as to cause sore hocks, but it is an issue for pets who spend all their time on wire. You might try simply buying bulk hay for the rabbit to spread around to his comfort, but you will have to completely clear it and refresh every day or at least every other (like a horse's stall) to prevent smell, illness potential, or just plain eating dirty hay. contact your local House Rabbit Society for other suggestions.
