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.

I believe it gets to about 120 degrees when first heated, and then it tapers off to maintain a warmth of about 90 to 100 degrees for many hours. So it is very hot to start out, and needs to be in it's cover for sure. When using it in my cat beds, I also put it in one of those baby receiving blankets to make sure it doesn't burn them, and always make sure they have part of their bed or nest to move away from it if they get too hot.

It should put out enough heat. To the touch, it doesn't feel like much but once your kitty sleeps in it, it seems to generate more heat. Hope that helps. Good luck with your kitty :)

Yes absolutely! I have 3 twelve-fifteen lb.cats that sleep in it every night.The heating pad does heat up after the cats are laying on it.I've heard several people saying that the pad does not heat up,but it does.The best purchase I have made for my cats.It doesn't say it has door flaps but mine came with two removable vinyl flaps that attach with Velcro.Hope this answer helps.

Yes. It warms up when the cat get in the bed. I have two cats and they each have one.

Not really. It will sometimes remain warm for 8 hours or longer, but there is no point in using it once the warmth is gone. I do sometimes take it off and on during that 8+ hour period when it is warm.

If you are planning to use the blanket outside, I would guess that only wrapping the animal in the blanket would reflect body heat of any consequence; not just having the cat sleeping on it. Trying to wrap a cat and have it stay inside the blanket would be a challenge. Winds sweeping over the sleeping cat would be an issue. Seriously low temperatures' influence would also be a factor depending on the degrees. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer to discuss specific details of your questions of this nature. It is heart warming to see you trying to protect your furry friends! If possible,I would bringing the cat inside to be sheltered.

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

It says in the directions not to sit anything on top of it to just use the fleece cover they send with it. If you sit a cat bed on top it may be too thick for the heat to go through and warm your pet. I wouldn't recommend it as I have seen reviews of the heating pad messing up if you put anything on top of it.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time during very cold weather since our kitty can go out as she pleases, she can come in and lie on the heated pad any time she wants. We usually find her in the garage sleeping on the pad, very comfortably. We have had no trouble with leaving ours on.

It will stay on warm until unplugged. It is powered on with the switch when plugged in before use.

It gets warm, not hot. I don't know what temperature it reaches, but my cat loves its cozy feel.

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.

I have 3 of the petstages cuddle pals. I used them for my kittens and they stay warm for 20+ minutes. The kittens just love the feeling of the warmth.

This warms up nicely (not dangerously hot) but only stays warm around 6 hours. Snuggle Safe stays just as warm for 12+ hours.

No, this bed doesn't keep the cats warm without a cover on top. I have the sleeper on a patio chair that's under the patio table and the table is covered with a waterproof table cover.
