We’ve been seeing this little stray tuxedo cat around the neighborhood for almost a year. Only a month ago have we started to feed it. And now that we get to see the personality of this beautiful kitty up close, we are all in absolute love with her!She began sleeping on a regular cat bed (not enclosed) during November. And on one particular evening when a cold front came in I could see the cold wind blowing the trees around. I could see the fibers on the bed blowing around. And I saw kitty all rolled up in a perfect ball tucking her face in her body trying to keep warm. I knew I had to get an enclosed heated cat bed. So I bought the Petyella bed and set it up next to our outdoor laundry room. For several weeks she completely ignored it. Then I started to worry that if winter was anything like last year, she may have to endure 20 degree weather not realizing she had a heated bed to crawl in if she needed. So to get her familiar with her bed, I sprayed a few squirts of catnip oil on the bed. Then she immediately crawled in, rolled around a few times, then started rubbing her cheeks all over the bed. As soon as she sat up, she looked at me with a look on her eyes, like “hey this is heated, kitty like!”She’s been using it regularly ever since. And now I don’t have to worry about her when the weather gets cold.A couple things to note about this bed:1) the bedding isn’t that warm to the touch. But keep in mind it doesn’t need to, because this is insulated and will be plenty warm to an animal inside. Using an infrared thermometer, the inner heating element gets just over 100 degrees F. Once the heating element is inserted into the bedding, the bed gets to about 80 degrees F. This was observed when outside temperatures were around 40 degrees F. This is New Orleans and this is about average temperatures during our winters. We’ll see if the inside temps. remain at 80 when outside temperatures dip lower than 40. If so, I think our kitty will be able to avoid most discomforts of the cold! EDIT: We’ve just experienced a week of fridged temps of 24-32 degrees (wind chill was 11). As temps degreased, I took 2 small blankets (each were plush material at 4’x4’ size), folded them over and laid them over the heated bed. With those temperatures outside, the inside of the heated bed was 75-80! Kitty was so warm and cozy that she rarely left her house! This bed has really saved her from much discomfort and possible frostbite!2) If your cat is ignoring this bed, don’t force them inside. Instead, try putting catnip on the bed. They’re likely to ignore the bed no longer!3) this bed has been through a couple outdoor rainstorms and has done really well. It isn’t entirely rain proof, but after several hours of rainfall (mind you, it’s up against an outdoor laundry room), I’ve noticed only slight dampness getting in through the flap(s). An ideal situation is to keep the bed under some sort of cover, while being able to reach an electrical power source safely.4) I’ve read other reviewers say the bed is too light. That hasn’t been a problem in my case. It stays put. Our kitty has an easy going personality and doesn’t move the bed. Nor does the bed move when wind blows.Overall, this bed is awesome. It performs well under harsh conditions. And it is super cute! The picture I’m including in my review is of her in her bed, inside her little multch garden with a few little petsafe plants planted next to her bed. She even has her a little Christmas tree next to her bed! I think she has come to really like her heated bed!

I found a sweet little feral kitty on my patio one night during a cold, rainstorm. Poor little thing was soaked to the bone and shaking. Being feral, he didn't allow me to pick him up and wouldn't come in the house. He just huddled underneath my patio table, shivering while keeping a safe distance. So, I put out some food and water, and laid out a pile of old towels under the table for him to "nest" in. Since then, he's been coming to my home every night. He's not "mine" - I'm simply a steward looking after him, making sure he gets food every night. I live in a condo on a golf course in Palm Springs, CA and we have lots of wildlife that come down from the mountains at night such as coyotes and bobcats, etc. I couldn't stand the thought of this beautiful kitty being harmed or shivering out in the cold & rain during the winter here, so I bought this little "kitty condo" for him and set it up on my patio, near an outlet where I could plug it in. It's an adorable little house and only took a few minutes to assemble. The roof is the most difficult part as it's a bit tricky lining up the velcro to attach the roof to the body of the house, but again, it wasn't too hard. The heating pad timer was very simple to use as well. I set it to turn on at 6:00 PM every evening, and turn off at 6:00 AM every morning, then plugged it into the outside outlet. The cord is long enough that I could plug it in and still have enough cord length to set the house a very safe distance away from the outlet. My little feral cat found the house the first night but was hesitant to go in. So I removed the plastic door flap and voilà! The next night I saw him sniffing around the house before he finally went in. He's been using it ever since. I have it outside on my patio, set up against the sliding glass door to my bedroom so I'm able to peek out the glass and see if he's in there. It warms my heart to see him curled up inside his little condo all warm and comfy. :-) This Petyella outdoor cat house is awesome! The price is good... But knowing the cat is safe and warm, to me, is priceless. I'd recommend this house aka "kitty condo" ;-) to anyone looking for an outdoor cat shelter.
