My cat is 12 lbs. Would this be too small for him? How cushiony is it?

Cats like to curl up, so he'll probably fit. It's not very cushiony at all, and you can feel the wires a bit. However, the older cat of the house loves it and can't stop sleeping in it, while the kitten avoided it and its strange crinkly noise from the first day. It's a hit or miss.

Well, my largest cat is 8 lbs and fits. It is 17" in diameter. I would try to measure cat when curled up asleep. The base isn't real cushiony. Just a heating pad covered with fabric. The ring is soft foam. I'd bet your cat would figure out a way to make it work even if he/she hangs over a bit. I would try it and if it doesn't work, give it to a friend with a smaller cat. The larger beds on amazon are an option but they are double or more the price.

One of our cats is 14lbs, he uses it. Inside diameter is about 12". It has a foam pad - not real thick, but adequate.

I find it cushiony enough when I press on it. It has something in it kinda spongey; it's not flat. I went out and put my 12 pound cat on it but she didn't lay down...but just eyeballing it there's plenty of room looking at her and imagining her curled up. My other cats sleeping it are 10 and 11 pounds. The inside of the bed measures 12" so any overflow would be up against or on the rim a bit. I think it's fine.

No, it would be fine. Our cats are both 10 pounds and they curl up in it. A couple of extra pounds wouldn't make a difference. I'd say it's medium cushy. Just FYI, one of our cats lives in it, the other won't touch it even though we got one for each of them.

My Maine Coon is +/- 12 pounds and is very happy with the heated pad. As I mentioned before, the pad is surrounded by a padded circle (sort of like a surround pillow). I was able to snip open the seam to the pillow and was easily able to remove about half the padding. If needed, I could remove it all. The pad has a fleece cover which I wasn't sure Mr. Picky would like so I put a towel over it. Now that he's used to and likes the heat, I've removed the towel and he continues to enjoy it. There are two 1/2' pieces of foam with the pad plus I've got mine on a seat cushion. Both the foam pads and the heating pad itself are easily removed from the cover. Hope this helps. mj My Maine Coon is +/- 12 pounds and is very happy with the heated pad. As I mentioned before, the pad is surrounded by a padded circle (sort of like a surround pillow).

My cat is not that big but the next door cat cme over and got in with him. It was tight but they both fit.

It might be too small for him, particularly if he likes to stretch out instead of curl up when he sleeps. It's fairly cushiony, but you can definitely feel the pad in it. You could always put a folded up blanket underneath of it as well. One of my cat loves it, the other one avoids it...go figure.

Might be too small for him. I have a slender cat and she does not get up on the top two...but the rest of it, she loves it!!

I don't think so. My cat (about 5-7lbs) was comfortable but there was no real room around her. I think if you go with the large one it would be better - I got med.

My cat is 8-9 lbs and is able to sleep on the top level. I'm not certain if a cat above 12 lbs would be able to sleep but they could still sit.

I think it will be a little small for that size dog. My cat is only 7 pounds and it is roomy for her but a long drive I would get something bigger.

I bought a small/medium for my cat when he was only about 6 or 7 pounds and it was big enough for him to slip out of. I think it runs a little bit more on the medium side than small. Hope this helps!

My cat is just over 9 pounds and she fit -- but she hated the carrier and I felt it was too small for her. Your dog would likely not be able to move around much at all, which might be okay if that's what you prefer. I would say it's a gamble!

The top cushion platform is 13" in diameter but the wall is not ridged. It is stuffed material so it gives some extra space and makes it cozy for a cat to curl up in. The top platform is 12" x 12".

Not sure. My cat is 15 pounds and he fits it great. There is a little room to adjust it bigger but not much.

I think it may be too small for her. My cat is pretty petite and its about perfect for her! It may work but would be a tight fit. Hope that helps!

I have a 11lb cat and he does fit but it's snug. He can't stand up in it at all. I need something bigger.

Like others have said, it's adjustable so you should be fine. I used it on my 12 pound cat with no issues.

mm, my cat is a maine coon, 11 pounds. so it fits perfectly, given she has long fur. Not sure how small you are referring to, but it's really fuzzy and comfortable inside, small pets could still feel comfortable there!

I think the padding is substantial and cushy. Our 10 year old cat seems to appreciate it. He's 15 lbs and doesn't seem to compress the padding significantly.

I agree too small I also have a 17lb cat. he enjoys the scratching aspect but that is all.

Haven'e measured the size. But my cats (10-12 lbs) seem to like it. I am sure a 9.5 cat can comfortably relax.

I don't think so. Unless your cat likes small spaces... which some cats do. My cat is about 7lbs, and he barely fits. My other cat who is 5lbs seems to be more comfortable.
