My elderly cat loves sitting on the computers, I think because they’re warm. She’s very obedient and leaves when asked but I’m wondering if anyone has had similar issues and found something appropriate and warm for them to snooze on?

Our cats love the K&H Pet Products Thermo-Kitty Bed Indoor Heated Cat Bed. ~$50

My cats love these as well

They are self regulating, meaning they keep a low heat when nothing is on them, but they heat up when they detect something is on them

Very well worth

I think they’re even low-tech than that. The warmth is just low, but it builds up when their body blocks it from dissipating.

Edit: oh, you’re right

Our beds and pads are NOT pressure sensitive. All K&H heated beds and pads feature dual thermostats and are designed to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature when he/she lies on the pad. This is a function of the insulation provided by a pet’s body, not the weight of the pet.

That’s actually some clever engineering and design. I have always wondered how it knew when a pet was on it (it doesn’t)


Thermostatically controlled to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature only when your pet is in the bed

My cats love these. We’ve got a really fluffy round heated bed, but I found that mine like the rectangular mat/pad more on the couch. Might be placement and proximity to us though.

Yeah, they like the flat rectangles, too.
