Do you ever worry about a malfunction and potentially burning the cat or starting a fire?

I have a few of these as well. Electric resistive heating like this is pretty safe. There's no control logic or anything, just a passive, high resistance wire. If a wire breaks it's going to just stop working. Unless you plug it in in the wrong country there's really no way for it to overheat.

Not to mention cats are pretty smart and will just leave when they're uncomfortable.
