Does it stay warm as long as the kitty is sleeping on it?

Yes it does. I've picked up my outside kitty when she got off of it and her little body was warm.

It seems to. In the morning they are warm after sleeping however long they sleep at night. It seems to keep them warm as long as they are on it.

Yes, it is pretty much just a blanket that holds heat and acts like the insulation in your house. If you have an old army blanket (wool) that would probably work as well. The pet crate pad is just less bulky.

It has a reflective layer inside. So any heat put out by your pet is reflected back into it, instead of into the floor. It does not generate it's own heat.

Kim, I can't say how warm the pads get, but they do seem to retain the cat's body heat very well. We have several of these pads around the house to protect furniture (we'd rather the cats sit on these pads then directly on a chair, etc.). Our cats love them and sleep on them all the time. However, if the feral cat and the container is outside in cool temperatures you might want to consider an electrically heated pad.

No it's "on" all the time but unless the cat lays on it, it does not heat up on the top. The bottom of the pad is warm to the touch all the time.

Yes it does - and I take the cover off when I warm it up - dont warm it the full 7 minutes - it will be way too hot - I did for like 3-4 mins - this item is awesome!

I use mine outside for feral cats and they love it. I had put some catnip on it in the beginning to attract them which worked immediately. The cat lies directly on the pad which picks up the body heat. As long as the cat lays on it it stays warm. Mine love it and also a blue one that's a bit larger from another manufacturer. It's listed on Amazon as well. It works the same way but it's a little bit bigger and plushier.

It stays warm continually. I got it or my Jack Russell when he became older and he loved it layed on it all the time

I can't say what the temperature is but when switched on, it takes the initial chill off. That also happens because the flaps help stave off cold as well. My homeless cat enjoys the little warmth when it is cold (under 35) in Atlanta winters.

Not that I am aware of although the blanket really retains heat well even after its off.

I'm not sure. I only have one indoor only cat, so she gets it all to herself. I think it would depend on how the cats in the colony get along. Just a heads up, if you're going to be placing it outside, the heat won't last as long. Mine is inside our house, burried in her cat bed and it stays warm almost for 24 hours. If its outside in the cold, and not insulated (wraped in a thin blanket or towel) it will cool off rather quickly. Also, the pad isn't "hot" its warm, so if it has been burried in too many blankets or something similar, the warmth of it may not reach the cat at all. It takes a minute for me to be able to feel the warmth through the pillow I have it under, but my cat loves this! She's on it all day!

Yes, he will be heavy enough to heat the pad. They recommend putting a pillow on top of it to get it warm. That way, the cat will take to it faster.

It stays really warm for about 20 minutes, but I have found that if you lay down with it, it will retain some amount of heat for several hours, or longer, during the night.

It seems to stay pretty warm for I would say 30 minutes once it is fully heated up. I typically just leave it plugged in the entire time I am in my vehicle for my pet so he stays plenty warm. Once I shut off my truck - it shuts off but stays warm for a good while.

No. It only gets warm when there is a load on it approaching its rated wattage.

Yeah it stays cool. I've been laying on it all night. I'm still laying on it right now. It's not warm at all lol.

Hi Mark,I think your bed is probably working correctly. I also wondered at first why it didn't feel warmer on top, but I came to realize that when the cat is in the bed it's body traps the heat. I think if it were any warmer it might be too hot. It is just right for my old kitty.Good Luck,Sarah Sirchuk

Yes, I leave mine plugged in all day and my cat just goes and lays on it when he wants. The pad gets warm but never hot. He loves this thing in the winter!

Just unplugg it or put it on a timer for night time use only. It's not that warm but our outdoor cat loves it we had remove the front flap ( there's front and rear flaps ) for her to go in it at first. It's spendy but well made.
