Comments (12)I have an electric heating pad, covered in a waterproof section cut from a plastic tablecloth, with a soft disposable cloth over that. My very old cat loves it, as she is thin and the heated bed helps keep her core temperature from dropping. I'm not sure how safe it is, as the previous heating pad shorted out a few years ago. I placed a battery powered smoke detector on the wall right beside the heated bed, and when we go away for a day I unplug it the heating pad and turn up the central heat. There are pads one can buy that you warm in the microwave and these are supposed to retain heat for some hours. I haven't tried these, but they might be a safer option. Also if you have a home with old fashioned radiators, you can make a bed for your cat atop the radiator. My mom's radiators in the den were encased in wooden latticework cabinets, and she folded a soft blanket on the top which made a nice warm bed for the cat. Also in our former home, I set a large rectangular marble slab atop a livingroom radiator where one of our cats used to sleep. Both the stone slab, and the wooden cabinet, diffused the heat from the radiators so kitty could not get burned. Also, if you have a place where you can suspend an overhead utility light with an infrared bulb, you could make a warm bed for your cat underneath, like a chick incubator or reptile terrarium heater. I had such a light for my bird, and another more powerful heat lamp in the barn for our old pony. You need to be sure that the light fixture is secure and cannot be knocked or pulled down, and that nothing flammable is touching it or too near it. Good luck. I'm sure your cat will appreciate the heated bed you provide her/him with. Young or old, all cats love warmth!...See MoreCannot Find Powdered Dirtex

Comments (22)I ordered a 4 pack of bulbs from Amazon at about $5 apiece blissfully unaware of the GU24/GU35 issue until my bulbs arrived and I discovered they didn't fit. After a lot of online searching for a source for the GU35s that I might actually trust (or "modified GU24s with taper" as someone posted above), I found this blog. Decided to try Ngoc Lamadrid's approach and had success, but with the following modification. After removing the bulb cover, I unsnapped the side snaps for the socket assembly top (actually bottom when in the ceiling) as suggested, and successfully got the GU24 buibs in. I didn't like the results when snapping only one side back as suggested, which seemed unstable and maybe scary. So I centered the top piece exactly and lowered it straight down, then screwed in the rear screw, added back the reflective bulb cover then screwed that in place as well keeping everything the same on both sides. The result is a fully level symmetrical assembly held together nicely by the screws, but without either side snap snapped down, both "equally unsnapped." So, a big nod to Ngoc for her/his original idea, and perhaps a useful mod here for better stability. Agree with pauls234 that this seems a whole lot easier, and cheaper, than trying to find GU35s and/or replacing the unit....See MoreYou can find the darnedest things on Amazon...
Comments (23)I've been more of an Amazon 'head scratcher' than an 'lol' recently. A few weeks ago I had a dishwasher, a pair of a favorite cotton house pant, (not a thick sweat pant with a tight ankle). A body butter, Korean chili flake, a crab pot for our upcoming vaca. AAA batteries, A dozen light bulbs...all in my cart and ordered at the same time on a Sunday. Then did our first Amazon WholeFoods....that came in 2 hours. (?!) A distribution center rather than a store shopper we realized. Much fresher produce than all that traveling and stocking shelves in a grocery. I've been getting some silly free gadgets with some items for some reason. A very handy favorite baby salad spinner for herbs and micro greens that fits easily in the fridge...came with an avocado slicer and a tiny keychain light. I would never buy an avocado slicer but have used it often. (I have 8-9 now ripe at the same time I need to freeze)....See Moremamapinky0
