From now on, full-fledged winter will come.
It's hard to leave a cat alone in a cold room in the cold winter. It's a waste to leave the heating and air conditioning in the living room on, and I'm worried about fires.

Customer Testimonials


It's getting colder in the mornings and evenings, so I put a warmer in and lay it on my cat’s usual bed. It seems that the warmth is making him happy, and the warmer doesn’t come out easily. Until last season, I was using a heater for pets, but I was worried that the power was on all the time. I don't have to worry about this mat, and I'm grateful that I can move it anywhere because there are no cords connected. (Masha-san)
