My First Positive Aldi Product review! Care Instructions here – Over the years we've bought a fair few Special Buy items and many have turned out to be a total waste of time and money. Some we've been able to return for a refund while others had gone past the 60 day refund period so we lost out ... lesson learned.

This Heated Throw however is one of the successful Special Buys item we've bought.

We have a 19+yo cat who is healthy and happy but she has a single coat so she's much more vulnerable to feeling the cold compared to other breeds.

We saw this Heated Throw in the May catalogue and decided to buy it to test. If it wasn't suitable we could return it.

The throw is folded over on the spare bed and the cat absolutely loves burrowing in between the layers to sleep overnight, and if there's not enough sun she'll happily wander back in there during the day.

The controller is only set to the lowest level, 1, yet this still feels plenty warm when we put our hands inside to give her a pat. We know she loves it because she complains loudly if we drag her out!

We had to wash it after a few weeks and carefully followed the instructions for washing and drying. As it was winter it did take a while to dry but when reconnected to the controller it has worked perfectly ever since (touch wood).

So, they do come up with some good products every now and then!
