I bought this for my elderly cat who has arthritis. I set it up in the bedroom, and she absolutely loves it! She won't sleep with me any more because the warmth of the pad feels so good. The heating pad gave out after a month or so, but the company sent me out a replacement asap. So glad I got this for her! I've had her for 17 years and it makes me feel good to know she's warm and comfortable. :)
