The K&H Thermo-Kitty is a round, soft-walled cat bed with a removable 4 watt heater in the base. This pick is the 16 inch Small in sage and tan.
Who it suits
Cats that like to curl up somewhere warm, including older cats that seek out heat in cool weather. Large cats or cats that sleep stretched out may need the 20 inch size.
Key facts
- 4 watt thermostatic heater, not pressure activated (K&H)

- MET Labs listed, 5.5 foot cord, one-year limited warranty (K&H)
What reviewers say
Petful rated it the best overall heated cat bed, pointing to the gentle thermostat heat, cushioned walls and the option to pull the heater out. It also warned that the walls can be a hurdle for stiff cats, the bed needs to sit near an outlet, and the small size suits curled sleepers more than stretchers.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Low power use
- Pro: Gentle, regulated warmth
- Pro: Removable heater and washable cover
- Con: Snug for larger cats
- Con: Needs an outlet nearby
Cautions
- K&H says to check with your vet before using it for very young, recovering or immobile pets.
- Give your cat an unheated option nearby.
- Keep the cord away from chewers and avoid permanent extension cords.
