As long as the pad and cord is in good condition, I don't think there should be an issue. I have a plastic Kitty Tube house with foam insulation and bedding. The mat gets warm, but maintains a safe temperature. I highly recommend the mat, it was literally a lifesaver for the feral cat(s). Thinking about buying a second one this fall.

I only place on fabric or bed sheets altho not too hot you should avoid straw always

I Don't Think I Would Use It, The Pad Is Electric Not Hot But Warm Could Start A Fire, I Would Call K&H; Manufacturing The Maker Of The Pad, I Would Google The Name, Hope That Helps.

I would not hesitate to do that, but I'd still use another insulator right than straw. Try three layers of cardboard.

Yes. I've seen people use sand instead of water but I would be very wary of it if there are any cats around as it does not have a covering top. Those critters WILL choose to use it. :)

I would say no because of the material. We bought a cover to go under it just in case though as our chairs have a leather pad. This also helps keep the chair clean.

You should allow any grill to cool completely before you cover it with any fabric cover. Otherwise it's a fire hazard.

I wouldn't use it with straw on the floor. I put it in my pen that has a covered roof and open sides.

I would say you probably can. It doesn't get hot like a human heating pad because K&H; says on their site that animals have different internal thermostats. Their heating pads are designed to warm the animal and not make them hot. Their site is very informative and they have all kinds of wonderful products for pets. I have 4 heating pads and one of the nylon cat houses that has a heating pad and is beautifully made!!! I highly recommend their products based on my experiences with them. Sturdy materials, heavy duty wire and coils around them, nylon, all of it. And, the fleece covers which have 4 elastic corners to go over the pad so it is soft and fleecy. I think each heating pad offers one. I would say you probably can. It doesn't get hot like a human heating pad because K&H; says on their site that animals have different internal thermostats.

We have ours on a metal patio table. I'm thinking that it would be too hot for a plastic table

You probably can, there is enough extra plastic spacing. Just sand down the rough edges to avoid kitty rubbing injuries.

I think you are supposed to use one or the other of them, not both. I would worry about a fire hazard with the heating pad on top of or under the straw. You could put an old blanket over the pad to keep it clean. I just have straw in mine and they make a little nest in it.

I don't see why not. It's covered with faux fur. You might want to cover your sides with a matching fur to make it look nice and feel good. Thing is my cats love to run and jump to that top shelf. Putting a lip there might inhibit playing and exercising.

No, hot items cannot be placed directly on top of this cart. It is laminated wood, and should be treated like any other piece of polished furniture. I hope that this helps:)

I'm unsure. I placed mine in a cedar cat house for a feral cat. I put some fleece around it, as it says to not put anything on top of the pad except it's own fleece cover. It works nicely directly placed on the wooden floor of the cat house. Doesn't get too hot. Good luck!

I have used the smaller version on a plastic bin before with no issues of melting. And I have the xl heating pad on a glass tank that sits on a ikea tv stand with no problem. I do not see why these would pose a threat to the wood stand. Also Google came up with results saying wood will start to burn at 450 degrees (depends on the type of wood), so I think these heating pads would be fine.

The fabric is not fireproof. I would be cautious about placing it over a fire pit even if you plan on keeping the fire small. The chances of something happening just isn't worth it in my book.

no the instructions warn you not to put anything on top of it in case of fire hazard

I used it all last winter on top of a bunch of wheat straw in a cat shelter. The cats loved to sit directly on top of it, despite having plenty of room in the shelter to snuggle down in the straw behind the heating pad. I think the animals get more heat from the pad if they can sit directly on it; so, it might be better to put the bedding around or under the heating pad. (Just my guess.)

Hubby has, but I worry about the plastic feet on the product. It didn't hurt them at all, but our stove top burners may be closer together than yours too. Poor kitty ;-(
