I think i'll use electrical tape. washing it with paper on it will likely be a pain in the ass, but a little bit of water isn't going to kill electrical tape. I put a towel over half of it last night to give her a more secure feeling until i had time to do something else about the sides.
It's a process, but its much better than being 100 degrees and too small to get away from the heat ^^; In general, much happier with this than what she was in. I also have felt the bedding where she likes to sit, and its not very hot, i mean its a good warmth, but i honestly don't think 95 degrees of heat... then again, considering our natural body heat, 95 probably wont feel "Hot" to the touch, just a good comforting warmth. eh? just worried if my temp gauge is off.
