Self Warming Cat Bed Self Heating Cat Dog Mat 24 x 18 inch Extra Warm Thermal Pet Pad for Indoor Outdoor Pets with Removable Cover Non-Slip Bottom Washable Non Electric

great option for my cats and dogs during cold winter. Traps and reflects heat. Cozy
As shown and described. Soft fluffy sherpa-like fleece on outside (helps trap heat), interior pad has reflective material (helps reflect heat), slim zipper, slightly grippy bottom.Basically takes the animals heat and helps maintain it by trapping heat and reflecting it back. If animal or environment is actually very cold, then this may not help. For that, you may want to add under it a low watt heated pad. I did this for my elderly cats. They had their favorite place to sleep, and always had both options available 24/7.Good size for any cat and smaller dogs, or larger dogs that dont need their entire body on it. I bought the larger 29″ x 19″ because I figured if I dont use it for my cats, then my southern rescue dog would appreciate it during the cold northern winters. I can put it on my lap or underneath me if no one liked it.But, My cats liked it just fine, they like it tucked into one of their existing beds. However, I also tried it for my dogs, and as anticipated, my 50 lb mega mutt loves it. I usually put a nice blanket down for her on the couch, similar in material as this is, but it has brought her extra pleasure and comfort to have this slim pad to curl up on whether the blanket it there or not.This isnt my first self warming pad. I have others I have used through the years, and wanted another as the others are in specific locations that the cats sometimes use. This one is different in the top material is fluffy, and more flexible than the other two I own. Both styles are good, this one is pricier than the other I linked to. I think if I bought more, it would be this one. I like the added softness and flexibility, where as the other is slightly more firm. Depends on needs and where it is placed.This is neat. I will feel the warmth after she leaves it. I feel it on the top side as well as the underside. It isnt hot or anything, but it really helps the animal to keep their heat. So no loss but no major gain either. I wouldnt use these necessarily for an outdoor animal on its own. Maybe a very low wattage heat pad, then this with it if it is really cold out. Animal needs to already have some heat of their own in order for this to make sense. They cant heat up the pad if they arent warm. If elements strip away the heat, then this may not help them. But for indoor use, especially cooler environments (we keep our house on cooler side in winter) this can help immensely to keep them comfy. Or for those that simply like warmer sleeping arrangements.

Warm bed for a chilly kitty
One of my two kittens has very short fur and is easily cold, and putting this on one of his favorite snuggle spots has made for a very happy boy. It is holding up well, has been easy to clean, and the quality is very good.

These work great!!!
I have three outside cats and while they have comfy beds and are sheltered from the weather, I was concerned about upcoming icy weather. I ordered three of these. Wasn’t sure how great they’d be but I knew running electric heating pads on my porch wasn’t an option. (I live extremely rural and the neighboring raccoons love to hang out on my porch snatching cat food.) I thought I would see if these really work. I was sitting at my dressing table when I removed one from its delivery box. I put it behind my back and leaned on it. Within SECONDS my back started feeling warm! I was thinking, “What is this magic?!” I unzipped the cover and looked inside. It was a relatively thin sheet of cotton batting interwoven with the magical thin strips of the stuff that warms. Fantastic!I put them in the cats’ beds and immediately they all tentatively checked them out. It was very quickly decided that they loved them. There was ice on the ground outside the porch but these cats were stretched out on their new warming beds….not curled up in tight balls…sleeping soundly.Definitely thrilled with this product so much so that I am going to find and buy the same type of a blanket for me. My power went out for awhile during this weather and I was freezing. My cats weren’t.Highly recommend for any outside pet. I would just make sure it is in a place to stay dry.

Happy Cat
Chloe is a 14lb Manx so I bought the 24×18 inch pad for her tree stand where she views the outside world. I’ve purchased other pads in the past and they are flimsy compared to this new thermal pad by Mora Pets. Nice and thick giving it a plush feel and perfect for kneading. Cover is removable for laundering. I’m pleased with the workmanship and quality that’s gone into this product. It’s well worth the money.

TL;DR (for those not up to snuff on online lingo, this means “too long; didn’t read” and summarizes a lengthy post, or in this case, a lengthy review. You’re welcome.)– Gorgeous, soft sherpa or sherpa-like top cover.– The cats use it and will sometimes stay there for a long time.– Try covering it with a pillow case or one of your t-shirts if you’ve given them, say, a week or two and they really don’t seem to be catching on that this is a good thing. Also catnip.– It is not a bed but a pad. You’ll be disappointed if you’re expecting it to be thick like a bed.– It does not heat up on its own but uses the pet’s body temperature to provide heat. Hence the description self-warming or self-heating.– It is not noiseless. There is a quiet crinkle sound.– Overall an excellent purchase and one I highly recommend.I put this on a chair in front of the loveseat where we sit. It took both cats a few days to be brave enough to sit on it (we had placed them on it a few times but they jumped off of it immediately.) Once the cats discovered it for themselves they started lying on that chair when we’re in the room, and will sometimes stay there long after we leave for another part of the house.I bought another one of these of a different brand from Amazon (cheaper than this one) at the same time I ordered this. This one is much nicer, though to be fair the cats seem to like them both equally. I just think the cover of this one is softer and a better quality material.In spite of what the listing says, it is not quiet. There is a crinkle sound. To me it sounds a bit like when you pull apart clothes from the dryer that are stuck together by static cling. It is subtle but worth mentioning for people who can’t tolerate certain sounds. One of my cats kneads it before she lies down on it so I think she likes it. It’s like a crinkly cat toy.I see so many reviews saying the cat didn’t take to it. The key to making it work is just like the real estate mantra: location, location, location. And time. Just let them discover it and try it out themselves. It may take a while but be patient. Put it in a spot you know they like already, or are likely to like. In a sunny spot perhaps, but somewhere near you. Cats want to be in the same room as us, if not right next to us or on our laps. I saw one reviewer say that now her cat lies next to her on the couch since she got the pad. You can always put a pillow case or one of your old shirts on top of it — or wrapped around it — if your cat is fussy about textures and just doesn’t like the top fabric. Also try sprinkling a little catnip on it.Lots of comments in the reviews about it not being thick. It’s a mat, not a bed. You can put it ON a bed if you like but this is not meant to be thick like that, though admittedly they do use the word “bed” in the heading for the listing before they call it a pad.The mat does not heat up. How it works: the bottom of the cover blocks cold, the bottom layer inside reflects the pet’s body heat, the next layer up insulates, and then there’s the top cover, which is the part they lie on and is a beautiful, soft sherpa. It uses the cat’s own body heat to create the warmth. I have one of these I bought years ago that plugs in and even it doesn’t actually heat up but also uses the cat’s body heat & weight (it needs some weight, I guess, for all the layers to work together.)I am impressed. I wasn’t sure if it would flop because I was skeptical that it would stay warm as it says it does, but it works!

Wonderful, very soft and fluffy blanket. I got the bigger size and it would be big enough for two kitties to lay on. My kitty sleeps on it every night and seems so comfy and warm. It’s very good quality and I like that I don’t have to plug it in because it uses the cat’s warmth as like a reflective effect. Would buy again.
