Is there a heated pad that is made for this kitty condo also a flap/door cover.

I essentially did the same as K. Keiner. I traced the opening on a piece of texture 111, cut it out, and attached it with a single hinge at the middle top. We used a regular heating pad with a timer and it worked fine although our cat uses the condo during the day only so we close it at night or feral cats will taking over. Once a feral cat has used the condo a domestic cat probably wont go back in until the feral scent has been removed by washing and or replacing the blankets and pads. We found this out the hard way.

I never found either, although I looked for them. I used these condos on my deck for all the feral cats. They became maternity wards. After the kittens were born, mama would take them out of the condo, and into the woods.

Patrica,I know there is a flap/door cover for the kitty condo. I made one myself out of a see thru piece of tarp material and then the cat would not go in there. I took it off and they went back in there. They are wanting to be able to exit quickly and don't trust to be in with the cover. The heated cat pad I bought seems to fit in there but I did not have one in there because with 2 cats sleeping in the condo they were keeping each other warm. I put the cat condo so the wind did not come into the condo for the cats. I even cut another piece of carpet for inside the condo for added padding and they were sleeping in there. Hope this answers your questions. Patrica,I know there is a flap/door cover for the kitty condo. I made one myself out of a see thru piece of tarp material and then the cat would not go in there.

For Flap Door search Dogloo or Dogloo XT Medium door. According to the PetMate site, that's the size door that will fit the Kitty Kat Condo. Hope this helps.

You can find the flap/ door cover on Petmates web site. It is under replacement parts. With shipping it is around $10. Go to igloo dog houses and then scroll down to the kitty kat condo and you'll find it there. I ordered one a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to be delivered.

Yes, if you buy the heated house it comes with the pad, the house, and two removable clear plastic flaps that can go over the doors on either side. The pad inside is the part that's heated and has to be plugged in to warm up.

The heading pad is a solid thin mat but is covered with a soft foam and cloth cover. I have it on my cats perch indoors. He loves it. Another review says it is barely warm. If the cat is not on it is feels barely warm. If your cat is laying on it and you put your hand between the cat and the pad it is very warm this is for safety. The inside mat is solid so it is water resistand and kitty nails won't damage it, all safety measures to prevent fires. Also a heating pad can get to warm and actually burn your cat, or electrocute them.

yes it does.. has cover on pad that can be removed for washing...its also thermostat controlled so it only warms when the cat is lying on it

Hi Sharon, Because our kitty already had the flat K& H pad, we decided to return this one with the hood, though it was really cute. I did take a good look at it and I think it would provide enough heat. We have been leaving ours on almost all day and she never wants to be away from it. For a four pounder, it should be perfect. Our cat is 14 pounds! I hope this helps!

If you read up online one is preferred but I don't remember which. We use an electric warming pad with removable fleece cover which we wash once the weather warms up.

I don't have the warming pad, but if I did I would put it underneath the straw simply because that makes more sense to me and the idea would be to have them burrow into the straw for warmth and not rely on the pad for warmth. We have about 4 ferals using our kitty tube on our deck and this winter has been brutally cold with lots of snow and ice. All of them are alive and accounted for - and I attribute it mostly to this house we bought for them.

We have 3 of the K&H; outdoor houses (with the heating pads) and we started by putting their cat treats in them. Once they figured it was warmer in the house they have used them every night. We think you might want to put the blanket on the heating pad since they are used to that. You might also try the cat treat thing since they could feel the warmth on their feet they decided that was a good thing. We hope that helps!

I wouldn't combine a warming pad AND straw...I would be concerned about fire. If you are talking about the Extreme Weather Kitty Pad with fleece cover, I have one and it is not flexible at all. My cats like it but it is made to lay on a flat floor. Since I only have 1 cat using the Kitty Tube, I have stuffed straw in about 3/4 of it. My cat crawls in and makes a nest. Since the tube is so full, it really is quite warm for him. I check the straw every few days and add more (and cat nip too) as needed.

Nope- no heating pad. I don't think a heating pad is needed though because my dog is very warm in there with its linings plus his favorite blanket.

I just used K&H; self warming pad, with old small blanket I had laying around. I also had it up on my deck & had it wind block with a tarp. I made sure I had it turned out of the wind & snow could not get in. Hope this will help you :)

I'm in a rescue group and we got some "bird cage covers" -- they are washable cotton type with "ties" and you can put them around the cat condos. They come in different sizes so you may ck that out.

This heating pad has a cover and it does not wad up. It is large and very well made.

You can get heat reflective beds and pair them with a snuggle safe disc (microwaveable bed warmer). Also, you can line a cat house with emergency blankets -the heat reflective kind runners use post-marathon. All of these things are available on Amazon at a reasonable price ... if your kitty must stay outdoors. Even the garage would be better in that weather :)

The pad has no cover. It's been warm here in CLE this past week and my french mastiff has been loving it.

Its a polyester pad with a mylar/space blanket layer in it. For the DIY-ers, very large 'space blankets' can be had for around a dollar each and polyester pads aren't much more than that. Add an old pillowcase and you're done. Put the mylar on the bottom under the pad as cats don't like crinkly under their feet.
