Title: Thermal self-warming cat bed - anyone used one?
Post by: Mark on February 26, 2008, 13:03:37 PM: Following on from the cat bed thread, I wondered if it was worth getting one of these for Alice. The price looks really good as they are £29.99 from Smylees.

I bought a couple of snugglesafe last year but they don't seem very comfortable for the cats.

I have used it outside in the cat house and also with the kittens when they were very tiny and it seems really good. Thumbs up from me.

Ours is in Leopard print! :)

How big do you need it? Flectabed make it up to 50" x 30" (just over 4ft x 2.5ft)

Though it has to be said the old jumper on a bed is also a firm favourite!
