Are cats afraid of cold? How many degrees can cats tolerate?

Cats are afraid of cold. Usually when it is a few degrees, the cat will tremble.

In addition, cats are thinner and have little fat content. If it is too cold, cats will easily lose their resistance and get sick, so they must keep warm when the temperature is low. Especially cats in childhood, because cats in this period have weak ability to adjust temperature. The owner can give them a warm nest, take them out to bask in the sun in winter, and take them out to exercise, enhance their physique and improve their immunity.

Cats usually have obvious respiratory symptoms after catching a cold, such as coughing and sneezing. At this time, it is necessary to take them to the pet hospital for further examination and treatment. Don't blindly use drugs, let alone people use drugs.

Hair and skin effects of cats

Skin and coat are a solid barrier for cats, which can prevent the loss of water in the body, resist some mechanical injuries and protect the body from harmful physical and chemical effects. In the cold winter, the skin and fur have good warm-keeping performance, which makes cats have strong cold resistance. In summer, the coat is also a big radiator, which can lower the body temperature.

There are sebaceous glands and sweat glands in the cat's skin, and the secretion of sebaceous glands is oily, which can make the fur bright and smooth. Cat's sweat glands are underdeveloped and can't participate in body temperature regulation like human sweat glands. In addition, cats are born with the habit of self-cleaning. When licking your hair every day, you will inevitably swallow it into your body. You can plant some cat grass for cats to help them excrete cat hair smoothly.
