A heated cat bed may sound like a luxury. But, if your cat is getting on in years, there are a lot of potential improvements for his health if he has a heated bed. It is a fact that older cats who suffer from arthritis and joint pains find comfort and relief from a heated pad. Older cats may need a little help to keep warm and a heated cat bed maintains the natural body temperature of around 102 degrees.
Cold weather with wind, rain or snow will make your cat more likely to become ill if he spends most of his time outdoors. It has been shown in veterinary evidence that a beneficial effect on a cat's immune system is found if he has access to a heated cat bed. This fact could not only save your pet from suffering unnecessarily, it could also save you money on avoidable bills at the vet's.
Any cat that has had to undergo an operation or who has been ill, will be much more likely to relax and get the rest he needs if he has somewhere lovely and cosy to settle down in. This will be sure to speed up his recovery.
A cat heating pad or a heated cat bed gives your cat a lot of comfort. It is comforting for you too, as his owner to feel that your cat is safe and warm in bad weather if he is an outdoor cat. It is quite safe if you have a dry outdoor garage or store shed, to leave the bed plugged in all the time.
Even if your cat in an indoor cat, he will get a lot of benefit from a heated cat bed if you are out at work all day. He will be cosy in his bed without you having to leave the heating on in the house in cold weather. If he is lonely, it is nice to think that he gets the same sort of comfort from the warmth and security of his bed as he would otherwise get from sitting on your lap.
Cat beds are not expensive to purchase. I have managed to find a heated cat bed online at a brilliant price for my kitty. Cat beds are inexpensive to run too, with a heating element of only around 4 watts. Cat beds are very safe as they cannot get too hot, they only heat up to the cat's normal body temperature. Cat beds will save you money as you only have to heat the cat bed, not the house if you want to keep your cat warm when you are away from home. By ensuring that your cat is kept warm in the worst weather and by giving him somewhere where he can recuperate if he has been ill, you may also save money on vet's bills.
To sum up, I think heated cat beds are not a luxury, they are a sensible and thoughtful provision for your cat, especially in winter.
