You might probably know that when we talk about human heating pads it is not recommended to sleep with one on for a whole night. That’s because these pads do not have a thermostat and they can cause burns and internal problems if they overheat. That’s why most people avoid this practice.
Most of the heating pads made for cats have a thermo-regulator that identifies your cat’s body temperature and adjusts the warmth of the heating pad accordingly. This means that the heating pad won’t overheat during the night and your kitty will be safe and will sleep like a baby.
However, if you are not sure that the product you bought has this feature, you should make sure of it before you leave it unsupervised because your cat’s life may be in danger. If you haven’t purchased one yet, choose one that has this feature and make your cat happy.
