So the handwarmer will be going under her bed.
EDIT;- Subject to it being vetted and tested by me for safety.

Oh! that's a smart idea! I actually might get one for my cat poor thing seems to spend most of her day jumping from radiator to radiator.
What about fumes though? I'm not sure how healthy are gas fumes (although I understand they are catalytic) so close to any small animal's nose/face.

Yeah , Fumes MAY be an issue , but i will be having a long hard play with it before i 'give' it to her.
Needing to ask what theyre for shows youve never sat in a blind in a Canadian winter.
Got one (Zippo) for Yule, and its a great little item.
I intend to make a new pouch for it though so that I can hang it around my neck, and adjust exactly where I hang it, to warm up different areas.

Its true, if Im hiking, its pretty much counterproductive. But if I know Im going to sit still for hours in a blind in -15°C weather waiting to take a photo (an instance when a fire isnt really appropriate), its a wonderful thing.
While there isnt really an on-off switch on it, taking it out of the fleece pouch and exposing it to the cold air will cause it to go out.
It comes with a cute little filling bottle, but Im going to do some more experimenting with quantities and how long theyll burn for. Having to take a bottle of fuel and the filling bottle, is too bulky. Ill fill a dropper bottle with lines on it to indicate say an hour, two, etc. to make it a little more convenient.

I've got a couple of these, though one is officially SWMBO's.
I would say that they're of limited use as a pocket warmer - don't get me wrong, they work just fine like that, but they are warmer & more warming when tucked in a wasteband (front or rear). sounds a bit weird I suppose, but warm kidneys are good, and the warming effect between naval and todge is very effective.
I recently hammocked at -4C and just kept one between my feet - very very effective and welcome!
