NICREW Pet Heating Pad with Auto Turn-off Timer, 90 x 60 cm Electric Heated Cat Bed with Washable Cover, Temperature Adjustable Dog Heating Blanket Mat for Puppy, MET Safety Listed

Heated Cat Pad
This heated cat pad is ideal for our cat. Pleased with the quality and the controller. It took a couple of days for our cat to get used to it and now she loves it. Keeps her warm at night. We place a cat blanket over the pad and she lies on top of that

Nice I guess
Works great, easy to use, heats up quick, no noise, my cat will not go near it, I now use it as a feet heating pad under my covers since my feet are always cold lmao

An Instant Hit and High Quality Product
This is a really good, high quality product that was an instant hit with my 13-year-old cat. No hesitation at all in recommending it. It perfectly fits his favourite cardboard box and he was straight on it and, after a bit of a sniff around, just stayed there. None of the usual reticence. And the 40 x 45 cm size is spot on even though he’s a medium size 4.5Kg cat. This year he’s happy that autumn’s here and the heating isn’t on yet :)It comes in a nice box with all the manufacturer, importer and compliance details on it, and the inner pad and back of the controller are printed with all the instructions and other info too, so there’s no paper to lose if any of that is needed (although there’s also a little booklet in the box). All inspires confidence.Maximum power consumption is stated as 55 watts on the inner pad (nowhere else,) so that’s about 2p per hour at current UK prices, but the maximum Level 6 is likely to be too hot for continuous comfort anyway. Level 4 seems to be my kitty’s sweet spot, which corresponds to 45°C and probably costs about 1.5p per hour. It’s also the default level. The power levels increase in 5°C increments from 30°C to 55°C. At Level 4 the pad doesn’t feel particularly warm to the touch, but when kitty gets up to turn around my goodness is he toasty underneath! (This is why they say use a cushion to gauge the heat the cat will feel.) At Level 6, the pad is really quite warm to a hand pressed on it and if you leave it there you can start to feel that you’d probably feel overly hot after a while if your whole body were on it and you would need a break. So don’t worry about it being warm enough, or controllable enough.The timer works well for overnight use, although as somebody else pointed out the controller isn’t compatible with a separate multi-day wall timer because it stays off when initially powered. You’d have to leave it on continuously if you went away, which may not be wise, even though the pad itself and the controller are said to contain thermal protective devices. My cat hasn’t bitten cables since he was a kitten and isn’t incontinent so those aren’t considerations for me. So far, he hasn’t tried scratching at the pad or kneading it, so I can’t say whether it will stand up to that. (He does scratch the bottom of his box sometimes…) I’d say it will be fine though. He’s a very sensible cat.Because of the waterproof PVC layer it does smell a little bit of plastic, but I washed the soft cover before use (it didn’t shrink) and any residual trace doesn’t seem to bother him. Similarly, the soft cover isn’t very thick and you can feel the wires through it, but he still finds it comfortable. The wires are positioned 3cm apart. The cover is more like short-trimmed chenille or fake velvet than fleece, so is slightly cold to the touch when not heated, and is a material he doesn’t usually like, but again all his doubts have been set aside by the cat drug of WARMTH! If he didn’t take to the cover, though, I’d just remove it and place a different thin blanket over the pad: there would be no problem with doing that as the cover is just a convenience.

Not sure if broken or just badly made
It emits a barely-there warmth that doesn’t really do the job.I have tried the recommended trick of putting a pillow over it to test its warming and it still barely warms on the hottest setting.The cat prefers the rough plastic of my PlayStation because that heats more than this blanket 😂Perhaps mine is broken or maybe this is just the way they’re made. But it just doesn’t work for my cats.I’m going to try and send it back if possible. It’s just not fit for purpose.
