trying to help stray cats stay warm during freezing nights but I don't have electricity to plug anything in, will this stay & keep cats warm outside?

I care for a feral cat colony and have made shelters for them from old kitchen cabinets and large Sterlight-type containers. My cats seem to prefer straw over anything else. Straw is an excellent insulator and doesn't stay wet. Do not use hay, which would attract rodents. Strays might still be socialized enough to use a pad like this, but if they're feral, I think the crinkly noise it makes would scare them. Plus, when I laundered this pad, the fiber fill shifted and it became very lumpy. I don't use it anymore. For ideas about how you can help your cats, go to www.alleycat.org. Above all, please trap them and get them spayed or neutered! Bottom line, thank you for caring about your community cats!

Can it be cleaned and if so, how......????

I don't really know if it can be cleaned. I should also update my rating on this because now that I've had them for a while I can say that cats don't use them anymore than a normal pad with just a spongy type filling. I have two outside shelters and put this in one and put just a normal little pad I bought with a spongy filling and that is the one they use, not this one. My indoor cats don't use this one either. Not sure why, it is nice and soft but they like the other better.

Is it supposed to make a crinkle noise? Both of mine make a slight crinkle noise to the touch.

Mine makes a slight crinkle noise too. I am assuming they are supposed to. My cats have several crinkle noise toys that they love and it sounds like plastic bags, one of their favorites. I think it attracts the cats more too it as they love this sound.

The only tag on the mats is one with the company name. There is no other information on their origin on the mat.
