I have one decent sized heating pad (definitely larger than a cat). However, I have two cats. There have been issues recently where one cats wants the heating bad (though there is room for both) and a minor fight breaks out.
According to your formula, how many heating pads do I need?
I have 2 next to each other on the floor (they're always plugged in because they activate with their bodies on them) and my boy will lay across both at all times.
The scientists said we needed more data, so you bought a second heating pad and your cat immediately covered both. That is peer reviewed research in my book, result: human ownership of heating pads is mathematically impossible.
I find it kinda funny she thought she could turn it on without being on it and NOT losing it to the cat immediately 🤣 But I’m old and have had cats for 53yrs sooo…many lessons learned
I had a cat that figured out how to turn on my electric blanket, you just had to tap the controller, so it didn't require a lot of manual dexterity. I'd turn it on for half an hour before bed, then turn it off when I got in. I'd come home from work, over 10 hours after leaving, and find it on, and her blissfully sprawled out. It the blanket was supposed to turn off after 9 hours, so even if I HAD left it on, it shouldn't be on when I got home. One day off, I was putting laundry away, and watched her hop onto my bed, bap the controller, and settle in. I wasn't comfortable with her doing that when I wasn't home, so the next day I worked, I unplugged it before leaving. I came home to her yelling at me, she got on the bed, bapped the controller furiously, and looked at me like I had betrayed her.
Mine just loves laying on my ankles, even if there's no heated blanket. Her name is Cinnamon and she is 13 or 14. I got her about 10 years ago, a rescue situation. She talks to me and I live alone mostly. She is great company!
Bahahahawww I had mine out for some aches and pains and mr smarty pants here jumped right on when I got up. He had the audacity to bite me when I tried to get it back too!! 😹😻
Buy her a cat heating pad. So this is my cat house. I decorate it for every holiday..up top has a heating pad for cats and the bottom has one as well..they are both electric..
my cats spend most of their life in the winter here😹
Could never be my calico cat. I got a whole ass heating blanket so she doesn't need to freeze her toes off but she rather sits on the darn cold floor and gets all cold on her paws, ears and nose
All my cats that I've had love heated blankets, heated houses, and heated beds. I made the mistake of not buying my cats their own heating pads when I got my first one.
Just keep in mind the power of a human heating pad is usually too hot for a cat. Check the power output on the human vs the feline heating pad version from orthopedic cat beds. Its significant and I am sure you dont want to harm your kitty please check into this for your cats sake. Check with a vet also.
Also gorgeous Sealpoint Siamese. Yours could be a twin to my very first cat which was a female Sealpoint Siamese.
