I am looking for a SAFE and effective cat/dog heated bed that can be used all the time. I have four cats and would like the bed to be large. I will place it on my bed as that is where the guys sleep. Are there beds that can be on 24 hours all the time or with a timer? Are ther beds that last more than one year? I would really like input about the types of beds out there and your experiences. What about reg. (human) heated blankets? I also saw a cat/dog blanket for sale. These are not inexpensive items so I want to get the best for the money and something that will last more than a year. This is my first time on this site, actually on a cat fourm. I have been reading about the beds on amazon.com and not getting much there. Please help. Thanks, Molly
