It's actually from his grandma so he has comfort while I'm at work.

is it safe to leave on while not at home? I wanna get one for my cat for this specific reason but a little scared.

It's probably not the best idea, but it does have a 2 hour timer on it.

I think they’re safe on low. Really just warm enough to be an acceptable lap replacement. I have an automation that turns them on and off every so often, and I’ve had them on every winter for years for two cats. This was in 2020:

I’ve never heard of ones with on/ off timers.. I’m definitely looking into this.. my guy hates winter, and I’m always hit trying to keep the house warm for him.

I used timer plugs before, and now smart plugs with automation. The pads just need to be able to turned on when the power comes on.

Awwww, what an adorable, happy cat!
May you all be as happy as a cat with a heated throw to sleep on!

I know my cats are weird, but I bought a heated throw for myself and Buddy, who is invariably in my lap if I'm seated, and he doesn't like the heat to be on. If I have it turned on, he won't settle down but just keeps getting up, turning around, moving to lie down beside me, blah blah. Such a dufus!! Malcolm is so sweet and normal ! 😺
