Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have our own cats, plus foster cats and rescue cats that come and go on a continual flowing basis. Many of our cats squish themselves into shoe boxes and other ridiculously small things, and almost every cat we've ever met makes a beeline for anything even remotely radiating heat. So, we bought four beds right off the bat, figuring there's no way we'd be making a mistake. And we were right. The cats were crawling into them within literal seconds after we unpacked them from the shipping box, when they were still on the kitchen counter and not even plugged in yet! After we pried the cats out, we lined these up under a bank of wall-hung cabinets in our living room (we had measured to ensure the sides of this bed wouldn't be too high and prevent the cats from getting in and out - no problem). As we were still setting them in place and plugging them in, every single one filled up. It's been about a year and a half and I don't think the beds have EVER been empty. The cat gets out...another cat jumps in. One particular kitty, Jezebel, is pretty much truly and actually living in the bed. We see her slink out from the bedroom (where we moved two of the beds) to the kitchen to eat, then a few minutes later, after she's done eating, she heads right back into the bedroom. When we go in after her to look around, she's already back in one of the beds, every time. Jezebel was a street cat that had a hard life before we adopted her (she was feral when we got her; it's been a long haul to get her to trust us), so if she wants to spend the rest of her life doing nothing but lying and soaking up heat, that's fine with us :-) Getting these beds also helped US in an indirect way, in that we had fewer cats sharing our bed at night. No more waking up with cricks in our necks, or leg cramps, from the cats getting us to twist ourselves into pretzel shapes in our sleep! Of course, since we only have four of these, and some of our cats - both personal and fosters - are pretty large, there's never enough of these beds to really go around. We've seen up to three smaller cats crammed into one bed (and looking content about it), but the big boned, or just plain fat, cats fill the bed up entirely. So we still have cats sharing our bed at night (not that we mind). It's clear that we need to get more of these. The cats literally LOVE them, as just about every other review has stated. So we're trying to figure out other places we can put more of these, while keeping them out of the way of walk paths (a one bedroom condo doesn't have much spare space to begin with). As for the heat part, the beds are just right for cats. Don't judge the heat level by human standards. The fact that so many reviews say that their cats don't leave these beds, or fight over them, is all the proof you need that K & H knows what cats like and want, and got it right. We've left all four beds plugged in non-stop since the day we got them (other than unplugging for washing the covers), and haven't had a single problem. Nor has our electric bill gone up in any noticeable way. We even leave them plugged in during the summer, as some cats - again, either our own, or a guest or foster - prefer heat temperatures that rival that of magma :-) Bottom line - if you have a cat (or cats), you will literally make their world if you get this for them. Sure, there will be some cats that will turn their nose up at it, but that's not the fault of the product; it's a matter of that cat being...a CAT! Meaning, they can be picky little buggers. But the vast majority of cats will either love these off the bat, or come to love them over time. Once that happens, you'll never wonder where to find your cat(s) again. If you don't see them in the room you're in, just go check the beds :-)
