Texas lite kitty

Elderly cat stopped self-grooming a year or two ago. Long-haired, so fur got all matted. Got lion cut before, worked ok. Regrew, got matted. Got lion cut again, now shivers all day. Even in a room that claims to be 80 degrees. Bought a "sweater" which is more like an elastic shirt, and that didn't fix it. Has heated beds that only heat a little and only after weight is detected, so they start out cold, but she'll hopefully use them (already uses one, but in a cold room).

Pondering sewing a warmer thing (complicated by needing to get weekly saline injection around her shoulders, and needing it to be stretchy but warm). She has bad pooping habits which make it better for her to be locked out of the warmer room at night, making it all the more difficult.

Maybe an oil heater radiator thing in a big box with the cat bed? Warming pads tend to automatically shut off after a while and only warms the bottom part.
