My elderly cat loves sitting on the computers, I think because they’re warm. She’s very obedient and leaves when asked but I’m wondering if anyone has had similar issues and found something appropriate and warm for them to snooze on?

    I think they’re even low-tech than that. The warmth is just low, but it builds up when their body blocks it from dissipating.

      Edit: oh, you’re right

      Our beds and pads are NOT pressure sensitive. All K&H heated beds and pads feature dual thermostats and are designed to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature when he/she lies on the pad. This is a function of the insulation provided by a pet’s body, not the weight of the pet.

      That’s actually some clever engineering and design. I have always wondered how it knew when a pet was on it (it doesn’t)

      Thermostatically controlled to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature only when your pet is in the bed
