Do I allow them to continue doing so? I obviously have concerns

    Cats originated in warm climates, they enjoy warm spots, they are also perfectly capable of knowing when they are too hot and move.

    I would not be too worried.

    If you’re in the same room the whole time and check them regularly it should be fine. Cats love to be comfortable and they will move if they get too hot.

      I feel like this is the answer. Its certainly what my common sense demands I consider

    If they get too hot they will move. My cat loves sleeping in front of the fire.

    Make sure they always have easy access to fresh clean room temperature water, and they won’t dehydrate.

    We got one of these heated mats from the pet store and our cat seems to prefer it over the space heater. It activates and warms up like an electric blanket when it senses the weight of the cat on it.

      The “problem” is I like to use the space heater myself and their use coincides with when I want to turn it on and off.

      Pree sure there’s not an issue but I thought I’d check and see what other Lemming cat-ownerrs were thinking

    It should be fine my cats do it all the time they like warming up by the heater like people do. They have sensory hairs to know the temp.

    That being said one time my cat layed directly on a heating pad on high heat for a little too long and burnt some of the hair off their skin. It grew back but yeah that’s the one time a cats ever had an issue from heat in my life.

    As the old saying goes, if you are cold go find the cat. She’s already found the warmest spot in the house. My childhood cats used to fight over a hammock we had hanging over one of the radiators, it never ceased to amaze me how long they’d spend in that thing and the heat never bothered them. If you are concerned kitty is going to burn herself, invest in a fire guard which is a mesh barrier usually used to stop toddlers getting to the fire but is also effective for curious cats.

      They almost remind me of those “greedy” slime things and also the potato thing where you put a potato in a dark labyrinth with only one correct path and it inevitably finds it and its tuber extend until its outside the box again.

      Sort of like that Joan Rivers joke about having sex with her partner while they’re in seperate rooms doing their own side activities.

      Edit: also, vertical mazes with water being poured in

    My cats both like to be near the space heater when its on. So far we haven’t had any trouble with it, but we always stay in the same room and keep an eye on them.

    Back when we had a space heater instead of aircon, one of our cats used to wedge herself under it and go to sleep. I think your cats are fine.

              Hey, just letting you know, I think you’ve maybe mixed up two conversations? That’s the only way I can see this making any sense, so you might want to re-read the conversation and make some edits that don’t accuse people of supporting child prostitution when that hasn’t been brought up at all.

                I asked a serious question too dumbass what the fuck is your issue?

                What the fuck does should I buy more money mean?

                Your game plan doesn’t even make sense.

                You got counterfeit connects?

                If you do, trust me… You’ll die before you find peace in life. That’s how the game works.
