can you use the kitty pad outside if it's kept in a kitty house/enclosure?

Hi there - I'm not certain if it can be used outside. Since it does contain a plug-in heating pad inside the cushion, my concern would be that the electric cord would come into contact with water. Something to think about . . . I did see other pads in Amazon that are made for outdoor use. Why not take a look at those? Good luck!

The pad is inside a plush bed. It would need to be dry. Ours is inside a shed, with a heavy-duty extension cord running from the house. No problems.

I would say "No" because it is plugged into an outlet. I would recommend this cat bed for inside only.

Yes it can be used, inside and outside. I have mine now out (patio deck) just make sure when it rains you may cover it with its lid otherwise you can leave it open and ready to be used by your pet. Hope this helps.

No, you can use it outside or inside, if you have hardwood or other non carpet.

Yes, as long as it sheltered from rain, I have been using it in the cat house under my covered carport.

you could use it outdoors, but I wouldn't without some protection. See e.g. http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/cablingcat5/f/cat5outdoors.htm

Yes you can use it outside - it's designed for that purpose, BUT you need to shelter it. I use one on my front porch against the wall of the house. Sometimes snow will blow onto it, but that's rare. I have another one on a screen porch against a wall also. Remember that it heats up only when an animal stays on it. You can test it by placing a small toss pillow on the pad and check back in 10 min or so.Please everyone remember that, if you place the pad inside a doghouse or dog pen/run, there MUST be a portion of dog house floor or pen floor that has NO heat pad. Your animal could get a thermal burn if he/she is not able to get away from the hot pad. I am serious. Please pay attention to that.

I don't really know if it can be used outside or not. I use it as intended for my plants. My cats love it when there is enough space for them to lay on and look out the window. ( I have a few these heat mats). The directions say to wipe up moisture when spilled water lands on it.

The box says the K&H; heater can be used indoors and outdoors. We use ours outside in a small cat shelter. The cat hardly leaves it on a cold day.

It's a pretty fine mesh - I don't believe your kitty could get grass through it. My suggestion would be a folding crate without the plastic bottom piece in it. your kitty could enjoy eating and napping in the shade. We purchased the ProSelect Wild Time Pet Cage Hammock from Amazon and our kitty LOVES it! We use a portable cage large enough for some freedom of movement, room for the hammock to hang and small enough to be handleable! (Midwest Life Stages Folding Metal Dog Crate 36"L x 24"W x 27"High). Hope this helps

I guessed you could put it outdoors, but I don't know what would happen to it if it got wet. I would set it by the door that the cat scratches.

Absolutely, this is not an outdoor bed. It is for indoor use only. The bed has a heating pad that is activated when the cat lays in it, and warms enough to make them cozy. My cat is hard to get out of this bed, but I would never put it outside for him. They do have other beds that can be used outside and they are waterproof. I don't think this one is, in any case I wouldn't trust it to be.

I keep mine in the house. It would be a good idea if you are going to use it outdoors.

I don't know that it is particularly recommended for use outdoors, but we have put ours in a small dog house on a partially protected porch. We just check it periodically for being wet or soiled. Cover washed up easily by hand. Our two outdoor cats, who are 17 and 14 years old, really love theirs. As soon as our oldest saw it go into the dog house this fall, he immediately ran over and sat on it.

I'm unsure. I placed mine in a cedar cat house for a feral cat. I put some fleece around it, as it says to not put anything on top of the pad except it's own fleece cover. It works nicely directly placed on the wooden floor of the cat house. Doesn't get too hot. Good luck!

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

I don't know if i can or not? I would think that as long as it is "under cover" being not out in the open where rain could hit it. It would be OK. You just don't want it out in the open in the elements where water could hit it and electrocute an animal sleeping on it. I have it in the garage where my cat sleeps on it during the winter. She likes the garage over the house to sleep and loves it to keep her warm. It's just in her bed and she sleeps on top of it.
