When I first saw this I thought it was a great idea. The heating pad doesn’t heat up as much as I thought but obviously it’s enough because my cat loves it!!! She also must love the softness of the heated cover. I love the cover on the openings. it keeps the heat in and it’s  easy for my cat to get in and out. They’re also removable which is nice for warmer weather. I would definitely recommend this product. My cat loves it!!
