Will cats be cold outdoors in winter?

1. Can I keep cats outdoors in winter?

If your cat is kept outdoors at ordinary times, it's best to let it in when the temperature is low in winter, because cats are also afraid of cold. If you feel cold outdoors, the cat will find a warm place to avoid the cold, such as getting under the car, which will easily lead to accidents for the cat. If the weather is too cold, the cat will freeze to death. If the cat must be kept outdoors, the pet owner can build a cat nest for the cat to keep out the wind, put a thick mat in it, and dress the cat to ensure that the cat will not be cold. However, in the case of bad weather, pet owners are advised to bring their cats indoors to prevent accidents or illness.

Second, some precautions for raising cats in winter

1, when the weather is cold in winter, cats' appetite usually increases, while cats consume energy faster in cold weather, so pet owners can appropriately increase the feeding amount in winter, but they should also pay attention to avoid overfeeding to prevent cats from indigestion or obesity.

In winter, cats don't like to move in cold weather. Usually, they only have two activities: eating and sleeping. Therefore, pet owners need to pay attention to lead cats to exercise when the temperature is low, and tease cats to exercise for a period of time every day to enhance their physique and prevent cats from being too obese.

In winter, pet owners should try to put the cat's nest in a sunny place and let the cat bask in the sun, which is very beneficial to the cat's health.

4. If you want to take your cat out in winter, you must pay attention to putting on warm clothes for your cat and do enough warm work to prevent it from catching a cold.

If the cat is pregnant in winter, we should pay attention to the strict cold-proof and warm-keeping measures for the cat. You can put an electric heating treasure in its cat's nest and cover it with a thick blanket. Try not to take pregnant cats out in winter to prevent accidents.
