K&H Pet Products Extreme Weather Outdoor Kitty Pad, Heated, For Indoor and Outdoor Use Black Small 12.5 X 18.5 Inches 40W

Q: Is this safe to lay in straw bedding? I have an outdoor feral cat house with straw inside.

We also shelter feral's, Yes I have placed one in a Styrofoam shelter that has straw in it. No problems and cat loves it. I placed it on the bottom, straw on top,works well, cat tunnels in making it's own comfort shape. Good luck Winter is here!

Q: can I put this pad on top of my kitty’s current soft fluffy bed?

Yes. Just be sure you have the cover that comes with it on. I use mine on our front porch on two rocking chairs that have cushions on them. I lay the pad on top of the cushions and my outdoor kitties love them. The cover is washable, as well. I can' t say enough good things about this pad. Many of my friends have purchased it on my recommendation and not one has been unhappy.

Q: can this be placed under a cat bed or does it need to be on top of the fleece bed?

I think it needs to be placed on top for the thermostat to work properly. K&H says not to use any covering except for the fleece cover they sell. If you put it underneath the pet bed you could damage the unit. I use these pads for feral cats it outdoor cat shelters on top of other softer pads and they work well.

Q: Is this bed bendable because it looks pretty solid and its slighlty to big for my feral cat house? please let me know, thank you?

Hi. I bought this bed this fall for my elder cat. It is rigid and really not very bendable. He has a small hut that he likes to sleep in and I bought this bed in the 'petite' size. It was plenty big enough for his little hut and has performed very will this winter! I hope this helps!
