We have an indoor cat who is getting up in years, and is always looking for something warm to lie on. Since I have trouble typing with a cat on the laptop, I bought one of these heaters a few years ago.
They have about the right amount of heat for an indoor cat who is just cold-basically it is about the equivalent of sitting on a chair that a nice warm human just got up from. FYI 13 watts is about the equivalent heat from two old-fashioned Christmas lights.
One caution- this is only the heating element. It is made out of vinyl, sort of like an icepack, and is probably not something your animal will want to sleep on directly. It definitely needs a cover of some type. If you animal is a chewer or scratcher, you will probably want a zippered pouch for it.
The size makes it a very tight fit into the bottom tube of one of those scratching post/houses made out of carpeted cardboard tubes. It is flexible enough to roll up and surround the cat on three sides, which he loves.
Luckily the first one of these I bought came with the fleece pouch, and I could just replace the heater in it with this one. This is handy, because each of these heaters (3 in total) have lasted about one year and then stop heating.
I wish they were more robust, but $25/year really isn't all that much in the cat ownership financial picture, so I just pay it and shut up.
3 stars only because I only use these indoors, and my cat is pretty docile, so there is no reason these things should keep failing so often.
