Well, we caved this winter and gave Talyn one of our heating pads which is under a favorite towel he likes. We are careful about the cord and how long it is on. It was either that or on us constantly and we couldn't get up and down without disturbing his highness. He is not a "cat bed" cat. He is spoiled-our last cat so far.. and alone.
I think you can get pads that get warmer from the cat's body temperature, and therefore continue to warm the cat. There are all kinds of pads made for older and/or arthritic cats.
Some cats appear to seek heat more than others. Roxie is our biggest heat-seeker. She will take every opportunity to lie under a lamp. When we grew African violets, she used to lie on the cart, under the grow-lights.
