Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Generally the electrical pads have a risk for short circuiting and can overheat with the animal on the pad leading to severe skin burns. There are newer options for keeping animals warm such as warmer crates / bedding, oscillating heat fans (dyson), and controlling the ambient room temperature. I have seen several burns related to electrical heat pads so I am not a big proponent of using these as the risk is too high for burns.

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! I would be cautious with letting Snow lay directly in front of the gas heater as this could lead to serious burns or his fur catching fire if he sleeps too close to the heater. I would make sure that he at least 5 feet from the heater and make sure he cannot get any closer. I have had several patients (dogs and cats) come in with burns from gas heaters. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hello. Yes, Porter may not like the smell of the fuel, or he may not like the noise produced. Fortunately, he should have no problem staying in the cooler room. My thoughts are with everyone out there. You really have not caught much of a break with all these storms rolling through. Hang in there. Spring is coming! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Indoor cats rarely get overheated unless very active or stressed. They may enjoy a cooling mat though and it would be more comfortable than laying on the tiles. You cold also get a small quiet fan to circulate the air. Make sure it has a cover or is up so they can't get their paws inside. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for her Mimi.

I'm glad you are concerned. When cats are relaxed they tolerate the heat well. Using a small quiet fan to circulate the air and a cooling mat would be helpful. There are many brands of cooling mats, make sure you get one recommended for cats. Don't be surprised is she won't use it though! After all cats have a mind of their own.
