Re: emergency advice on starved cat needed

[Nina]

When I was looking around for heating pads for cats, there was a warning 
to not use a regular heating pad for a cat that is disabled and not 
likely to move off the pad when/if it gets to warm.  I had one heating 
pad that I used for kittens that never got to warm, but the kittens were 
able to easily move off of it anyway.  The heating pad that I just 
purchased for myself, (I have a bad back), gets way to hot, even on it's 
lowest setting.  I'd be careful.

pad on low wrapped around several times in a big towel.  It stayed 
warm but not too warm.  I did check it several times to make sure it 
didn't get too warm.
