Is it safe to leave the outdoor Heated Kitty House plugged in an outdoor outlet over night or for a few days?

I leave mine plugged in continuously since the cold weather started without any problems. The outside cat that decided he lives on my porch LOVES it. It doesn't feel really warm to the touch but must be warm enough to feel good.

I leave mine plugged in constantly. It is pressure sensitive and heats up once your cat goes inside. The cord is designed for outdoor use. I feel safe keeping it plugged in.

Not sure,I had mine in the cellar way for cats that went in and out through a cat door. It got pretty cold out there too though,and I left mine plugged in 24/7 I know before the water would freeze over in a regular dish.

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

I leave mine on the charger overnight and sometimes longer and have had no problems.

I had mine plugged in outside for xmas lights through most of the winter and had no problems, but it was under covered porch. I was made for outdoor use so i assume it is pretty well insulated from water where needed.

The cord on our Kitty pad gets wet. It actually is buried in snow right now. We do not have problems. Ours is inside a house but it is partially outside going to the outlet. Our outlet is made for outside use. Our feral cats love it!

We have two K&H; Kitty Houses and have used a heavy duty outdoor extension cord without any problems! Our plug is about 7 feet from the front porch - there was no other way we could plug in the house!

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.

I believe either is OK. I usually leave it plugged in during frequent use. For storage, I unplug then charge prior to use.

That's up to you. We leave ours plugged in all the time because that green light is so tiny. But if you want to unplug it just to be extra conscientious, it certainly can't hurt.

As far as I know as long as it is plugged in the setting stays where you set it. I would question whether this heater should be left unattended for such a long period of time.

I honestly suggest that you should not leave it there overnight so it will not over charge the battery itself. thanks

The only thing about outdoor pads is they can't be run off of extension cords. They have to be plugged directly into the outlet to stay safe. Because my cat barn is out in the field, I take a brick that has been in the fireplace and got hot, wrap it in a towel and put it inside to help create heat for the kitty. I tried putting the snuggledisc inside but it won't fit through the door.

I cannot imagine leaving it plugged in outside but if your concern is the flexibility of the cord, it should be fine. I leave mine plugged in an unheated garage. While it is slightly less flexible than during the summer, it is still far more usable than most cords. I cannot speak to the safety of leaving a cord plugged in outside all winter.

Yes. You can keep it plugged in and it will only heat as needed. I only unplugged it in the late spring after night temps were way above freezing. Worked great all winter!

I leave mine plugged in all winter and it's fine. I don't think it's a drain on the battery to leave it plugged in.
