Heated Cat Bed

A heated cat bed gives your cat a lot of comfort.  An old pillow may be chosen by the cat, but many cats adore nest-type beds sold in pet stores.  Others will ignore any bed you provide and choose the sofa.  Most cats search out warm spots, and therefore will  love a heated cat bed.   A heated cat bed is also comforting to a senior cat, who needs the soothing warmth.

A heated cat bed may sound like a luxury.  But, if your cat is getting on in years, there are a lot of potential improvements for his health if he has a heated bed.  It is a fact that older cats who suffer from arthritis and joint pains find comfort and relief from a heated pad.  If you have a particularly cold house you might consider a heated cat bed.

Cat beds are not expensive to purchase.  You will also find that, because the heating element in the cat bed is only about 4 watts, it is very cheap to run as well.  Cat beds are very safe as they cannot get too hot, they only heat up to the cat's normal body temperature.

One of the most popular manufacturers of these beds is K&H.  This manufacturer offers a wide variety of options for both cats and dogs.  One sophisticated heated cat bed option from K&H is the Thermo-Kitty Bed, which features a 4-watt dual thermostat that uses an integrated heater to heat this bed up to a cozy, 102 degrees.
