can someone please tell me how long the cord is? My cat chewed through it and I am trying to figure out if he has any of it in inside him! Thank you

Mine measures about 4 feet, 2 inches (50 inches total) - cord only, not including the metal probe.

I have only used for my kitty once as she gets traumatized when we have to car travel and she did seem a bit calmer. She does have a biting habit, but as long as I give her plenty of chewable toys she is satisfied. Her favorite chew article is cardboard, but depending on the age of your kitten I might not give that to him. Sometimes cats never grow out of chewing, such as the case with my adopted kitty, but they just need something to chew on other than your hands. Hopefully it works out with your kitty.

This one is very large. I bought it and the smaller size (http://www.amazon.com/Cord-Protector-Crittercord-Protect-Hazardous/dp/B0014H51DY/ref=pd_bxgy_petsupplies_img_y) and really would have been happier with a couple of the smaller size. The smaller size is not as long, so you might want a couple of them. Yes, the lamp cord will fit in the smaller size. i am not familiar with parrots' chewing habits, but I suspect this will work.

Yes. I did not have any problems with my ferel cat bothering the cord. She loved it and we feel it was definitely worth the cost.

You have a 50/50 shot here. The one I originally bought had a 16-ft cord and was an older model (that nearly burned my house down). The replacement to that one had a longer cord and some noticeable improvements over my first one (it was much quieter and had improvements to the internals). I would imagine the majority of the ones shipping now are the newer model.

The electrical cord has a wire coil spring shield surrounding it. I have had no animals bother it yet, and I have the cat, 3 dogs & 11 chickens that are exposed to this cord daily. I ave protected her house with a cardboard box big enough that I could slide her house in sideways that way and the entrance would be shielded, but she could still get out of the hole we left on the side of the box, as well to protect the wind that might blow around on the porch, and we ran the wire out of the back of her house and then out of the corner of the box to plug it in to my outdoor socket. Hope that helps. Hope that helps answer your question as well as keep your pet warm! The electrical cord has a wire coil spring shield surrounding it.

My cat has short hair but personally, I wouldn't recommend trimming the hair: the prongs are approx 1/2" long and end up against the cats throat because of the weight. To me, it would be especially uncomfortable on bare skin even when turned off, or nowhere near the device.

Is he chewing on the wire, or pulling the toy? If it's the wire, you might want to encourage him to only chew on the mouse because some cats love chewing wires and you definitely don't want to encourage that. So far my cats have not frayed the wire. Hope this helps as an idea.

Did you ever hear from the company??? I'm interested in whether or not they even care, because they never contacted me after my cat lost it's toes in the wire of the cage, and they never returned my calls! Thanks!

AudreyB, did you purchase this item and find a way to use it with your cat? I also have a very large cat, a Maine Coon that weighs about 22 pounds. I curious to see if you could use this product. Thanks!

Hi Stacy. Any updates on your little guy with this potty? My cat is the same way, and I'm thinking about getting one of the grass potty for her.

My cat got into it. I went outside and my bf was inside the house. All of a sudden as I'm walking back to the door, my bf goes, "OMG honey, HELP!!" I ran inside and he's holding my 6 month old cat in the air with the sticky pad totally stuck against his whole side! I was freaked out while laughing, but I wasn't sure if he'd be OK after I rip this thing off that's stuck to him completely! Eventually with careful prodding and picking, we got it off him but we definitely put the whole thing away after that! He's older now, I'm not sure if he'd get into it again, but if I thought I have fleas again, I'd take it out and give it another try. Not sure about the hot bulb, guess they'd get stuck first. lol.

Hello! My cats don't really use it, either. So that string toy thing with the wand on the end I just use by first putting catnip in it first and then use it by just waving it around in the hole on the top or if your cat sticks his/her head in one side you can also wave it around on the other side where they can see it and they'll run over and through this crackle chute to play. My cats honestly have even tried to sleep in it. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. They'll get used to it

I took a photo: <http://imgur.com/G48f1C4>I bought the 1' version. You can see that the entire thing is just over 12" long. Around 8.5" of that is cord.

Our cord is about 5 feet. However, all last year we used a heavy duty outdoor shop extension cord to reach the space where we needed to place the pad. Worked great. As noted in an earlier answer, be sure you use a waterproof connector. Our cat is very pleased with the pad. However, this year we added the nylon house from the same maker which has its own heating unit. As long as we leave one end open, he uses it when the weather gets too cold to be in the open. Hope this helps.I just realized I forgot to say our unit is on our front porch so there is a roof but little protection from the wind. Our cord is about 5 feet.
