I got one of the radiator beds the other days. I was concerned it wouldn't fit my single rads but its fine. The cats love it and its rarely vacant. Although we do have five and only one bed. We just don't have the exposed radiator space to fit another one, although I have plans to move some furniture to make space for another. We do have lots of other types of cat beds I might add. In fact they got a lovely natural wicker type one for TK Maxx for Christmas from my Mother. Its in the vague shape of the cats heat, complete with ears! :rofl: but its a natural colour so doesn't look horrendous. Its all closed in and snuggley with quite a small entrance so ideal for having some quite time away from the kitten!!!!

Thanks for that Gill. I think I'll give it a go. My OH is very good at adapting things so I'm sure we can get it to work somehow. I just hope the cats will use it. We've got a couple of radiator huggers so its looking hopeful.

I had a look around argos and there are a few other goodies to be had.

Cat tree, although probably better suited to kittens as in the picture. I'm tempted for my little one but we do have one already so we'll have to see:

Nice bed that a couple or three cats could snuggle in:

They look like they should work on doubles but are not quite big enough for mine, they worked fine on my one single .

However took it back cos nobody was interested in it.

You can always get one and if it doesnt work take it back and say it doesnt fit on your radiator, got my money back yesterday  ;D

I think these only work if you have a double radiator. Mine are all single and the beds don't fit them. Maybe its a rural Wales thing Gill. I've not been in my house all that long so have just checked all my rads and they are all the single ones. Apart from the old fashioned style one we just fitted in the bathroom. Although I think that one would be too big.

Are the beds the adjustable ones - for the fitting that is? Could someone please give me the measurements of the fitting to see if it is small enough for my single rads or big enough for my old style one?

Thanks,
Clare

Going to get a couple.  2 out of my 4 sleep on the dogs beds, huge duvet-type ones, and the dogs do not move them bless.   It would be good to give the dogs their beds back and the rad beds for the cats  :thanks:

It just kind of hangs over the back of the rasiator Gill, but it is a bit awkward pulling the metal bits out and getting em to fit inside the material.

I have caught Bobby sitting in one of them once, but Buffy seems to like it lots! I'm glad I got them although one each seems a bit excessive now (but you could guarantee if I only got one they'd all fight over it!)

If you got a radiator bed, can you tell me how its supposed to fit?

I got one but nobody is interested but the back part doesnt seem to attach to anything!

Its going back when I go to Carmarthen.

Simulated cosy fur cover it says in the catalogue.

 :rofl: makes it sound like a Virtual cat bed - I did notice the husky fur description on the packet but I think it is just to let you know what kind of material to expect maybe?

I got 3 of the last four in the store today :evillaugh: there is another Stockport Argos near a PAH and not surprisingly, other cat lovers had cleared that one  :rofl:
The Argos had the Nintendo Wii in stock too, I was so tempted!  :sneaky:

Thanks for pointing these out - mine have so far been deprived of these beds but seeing how they are constantly hugging the radiators recently, I thought I'd treat them! Managed to get the last 3 in stock today - phew! One each for my two, and one for the new foster arriving tonight!

I was a little worried when the packets said 'husky fur', however I'm assuming they're not really made of husky!

They wil be opened for use shortly....I hope they like them and know what to do with them..

I really wanted another radiator bed - two of mine have decided they love the one we've got. (After ignoring it for months, obviously!) Will see how many pennies I have left when I get paid.

Gerti is a little "plump"  :innocent: but not tooooooooo bad - I think its just because of the way we had to position the bed on the radiator because our radiators are quite bulky - so the bed doesnt hook over the whole thing, we have to hook it into the slotty bits inside the radiator (hope that makes sense!)

Its a different design to this one though, so I am hoping this one will fit over the whole thing  :shy: I think our radiators are just old-style.

Gerti's current radiator bed has bent the radiator  :innocent:

I have put two of these on reserve to collect tomorrow evening - one for Lucas' room and I am sure the other one will be used by Cheese or Doc who don't get a look in at the moment  :rofl:

We were wondering if Willow would use one as she keeps sitting on top of the radiator. At that price, it's worth a try  ;D
