This is a review of the K&H ThermoKitty Heated Cat Bed (https://amzn.to/2SD9DVB).
I got this bed because my cats absolutely love sleeping right on top of me or right next to me. It makes me incredibly hot then I can't sleep. I figured if I got something like this they'd head off and sleep in it instead! And I was right!
The ThermoKitty is a pressure activated heated bed. That basically means that it only turns on when there's actually a cat in the bed, it doesn't just run up your electrical bill staying warm all day. On top of this it'll minimize any chances of a short taking place or a fire taking place from the bed overheating while it isn't in use.
The bed heats to a temperature both Lexi and Beastling love. They sleep in it pretty much every day of the week, especially in the cold Chicago winters. But even in the warmer times of year they still love the extra warmth it provides. Note you can easily unplug the bed in the summer if you simply don't want it to run on.
The bed is huge if you buy the large size. I bought the large so both of them could sleep in it together. It is about 20 inches in diameter and 2 average domestic short/long hairs fit in it easily together. Lexi is about 13 pounds and Beast is about 9 pounds, plenty of room for them to double up.
On top of this the bed has a super comfy little pillow built right in and a large foam ring around the outside to create the lip, but the beautiful part is how easy it is to take it apart. You can easily unzip the pillow and pop the heating pad out of the bed in seconds. Then you can slip it over and easily pull the foam ring out through another zipper. This means hand or machine washing the exterior of the bed is done in a snap, a huge benefit for anyone with messy or furry cats (everyone with a cat?).
The only thing I don't love about the bed is the bottom is nylon, not non slip. Since I keep it on my nightstand I added a simple non slip rug mat to the bottom of it. This ensures that even if my cats get startled and jump out of the bed it doesn't fly off the side and send them tumbling.
With our 2 cats we give it a solid 8 paws and 2 tails up! An excellent product you should definitely consider.
