Hooray for Cat Heat Pads
June 28, 2009 by templetons
Just in time for winter we discovered the Warm*A*Pet low voltage (16V) heat pads. Up to now we had been using hot water bottles on cool nights for old and short haired cats and kittens. Our winters here in the Gold Coast Hinterland are very mild and we get cold nights only occasionally but just in case. The hot water bottles seemed the safest option at the time, no electricity and so no risk of fires or electrocution, but the low voltage heat pads are the ideal solution and the cats love them. They go under the bedding and are very efficient.
