Oil filled radiators

Hasbeen

All would come up to the same safety standard. There are probably millions of homes that use both being all electric.

Night Storage Heaters work by drawing electricity over the course of a few hours at night and storing it as heat in a 'bank' of clay or ceramic bricks to use the following day. At a reduced rate E7. So yes I would use overnight  to get heat released during the day.

Panel/Oil filled heaters if required I would leave on, overnight in a bedroom?

But I try and keep my electric usage low so personally would not use overnight. Not because of any safety concerns but cost.

Use a good continental quilt with tog rating of 13.5 or 15.

From a generation brought up with no heating apart from coal fire in sitting room LOL.

Is it safe to leave a Night Storage Heater on at night?

Well, there's a clue in the name !

Right, okay. I assumed they were called that because they drew the electricity overnight and released it during the day, not because it was safe to leave them releasing the heat during the night.

Both are true.  By definition, they have to be.

Why would you want to leave panel heaters on overnight, unless you are a shift worker or a night owl?

As mentioned, we are considering getting a cat and I want the lounge to be temperate during winters when the temperature outside goes below zero (cats are comfortable at higher temperatures than humans and I want to avoid them catching colds as they can easily develop into much more serious conditions).

We have electric panel radiators.We also have cats. They can deal with low temperatures quite easily.

Cats are not stupid. They will be in the bed under the blankets/quilts before you are.

Cats come with their own fur coats.  I'm sure they can cope with slightly colder temperatures overnight.
