Keep your cat snuggly with a heated cat bed
Most cats are comfort lovers and seek out the warmest spot they can find to curl up for a snooze. In fact, cats are naturally predisposed to seek out warmth from birth. They have facial temperature receptors that enable newborn kittens to find their mother. As the kittens mature, these receptors grow as well.
That’s why your cat can so easily find the warmest spot in the house to curl up in. The warmth makes your cat feel happy, comfortable and content.
Keeping your cat warm in winter is now easier than ever with a heated cat bed, and there are two types of heated cat beds to consider, both of which are available on eBay.
Self-heated cat beds
These are affordable, and they don’t require the use of electricity, but will still keep your cat lovely and cosy on cold winter nights. Self-heating cat beds have a thin layer of reflective material inside their outer cover. This material, such as Mylar, actually reflects the cat’s own body heat back to it. This ensures your cat stays nice and warm whenever it sleeps on or in the bed.
These self-heating beds are available in different configurations too. There are simple mats, cosy cocoons your cat sinks into or even cave-type beds that have a hood for extra warmth. Most of these have a lovely soft fleece outer cover that is fully washable.
Plug-in heated cat beds
Electrically heated cat beds do add to your electricity bill but they don’t use any more power than an electric blanket would. These beds usually have a plush or soft fleece cover for extra comfort and warmth.
Most of these beds are thermostatically controlled and will adjust to the heat of your cat’s body. So, your cat will naturally be drawn to the bed when it’s looking for a warm spot to curl up in.
Whatever you’re after, if keeping kitty warm in the winter is important, investing in a heated cat bed is a great option. With eBay, you’ll find a variety of designs and sizes available so start shopping and treat your cat to a warmer winter.
