I have an adopted outside cat and was looking for an inexpensive safe way to keep him warm. I purchased the small outdoor bed and he hasn't left the little house I had made for him! At least I know he is warm at night now. It heats up when he lays on it to just a warm heat so he won't get burned and it has a protected cord to keep other critters from chewing on it. I would recommend this for any cat lover that wants to add a little comfort to your pets life!
