With winter fast approaching, your feline floor squatter deserves a place to warm her toes.  K& H Manufacturing offers several varieties of heated cat beds, mats and bed warmers. For cats that have a hard time with movement, either from arthritis, past trauma or other health issues, you can allow them to stay on the floor and make it comforting, warm and inviting at a very inexpensive price. 

For Guinevere, a cat whose movement is hampered by past abuse, the Thermo Kitty Mat offered her the comfort she needed to get her off the wooden floor in the bedroom. The Thermo kitty mat placed on top of a lounge cushion became her place of choice as the weather turns colder. Offering relief to her weary bones, she climbs onto the cushion and reclines on the Thermo Kitty Mat for the majority of the time.  

With a dual thermostat and a removable heater, the Thermo Mat provides a perfect place for her to rest.The plug tucks conveniently out of the way removing the temptation that dangling electrical cords sometimes present to curious kitties. Unlike some heated cat beds, the Thermo Kitty Mat draws a low enough current (only 4 watts) to allow the plug to stay cool to the touch, even after being plugged in for weeks at a time.  

The Thermo Kitty Mat is a 12.5” x 25” flat mat covered by faux lambskin cover. The cover is removable and machine washable. The mat is designed to not draw heat until a heat source touches it. So when Guinevere moves off the pad, the pad will slowly cool down until she returns.  

Although recommended for indoor use only, K & H Manufacturing also offers heated outdoor beds for cats and dogs, thermal pads that fit inside kennels, carriers and Igloo dog houses.  

With so much satisfaction being shown by this grateful indoor cat, I will soon be purchasing their outdoor kitty beds, for my two barn cats who don’t wish to become house cats but would rather spend the winter either in the barn or on the back porch. 

You can purchase these mats through several online retailers: Pet Smart, Drs. Foster & Smith or Pet Street Mall.
