How do people keep cats warm in winter?

In winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and people put on thick clothes. So for cats at home, although they are wrapped in fur, cats don't like cold weather like people. And cold weather is very harmful to your cat. If you catch a cold, it will be very troublesome, so you should still do some appropriate warm-keeping measures for your cat.

Skin and cat hair are a solid barrier for cats, which can prevent the loss of water in the body, resist some mechanical damage and protect the body from harmful physical and chemical effects. Its skin and fur have good warm-keeping performance in cold winter, which makes cats have strong cold resistance. However, when the temperature is very low, we will see the cat's body shaking, showing symptoms of depression, lethargy and weakness. Even the cat's muscles may become hard, and its breathing and heart rate may slow down. These symptoms can lead to diseases over time.

? Cats' hair removal will be better in winter than in autumn, but they are prone to skin diseases because they spend less time in the sun. The owner can often comb away the dirt and dander hidden in the skin with a comb, which can not only promote blood circulation, but also comb away the waste hair replaced by the cat. ?

? This can not only keep the cat clean and eliminate the odor, but also make the cat hair brighter, and keep the cat hair fluffy and not knotted, so as to really keep warm! Don't forget to let the cat enjoy the rare sunbathing when there is sunshine in winter, which is of great help to the skin and hair. As for short-haired cats, it is recommended to shave the whole body twice a year and trim it locally at other times. Shave the whole body every March, April, July and August. In winter, cats have enough hair to keep out the cold.

? Long-haired cats and short-haired cats have different tolerance to cold. Generally speaking, long-haired cats only exist in cold areas. Because the coat is long and can keep warm, it can withstand wind, frost, rain and snow. Shorthaired cats are relatively afraid of cold. However, due to the mutual migration between the north and the south, some short-haired cats who are afraid of cold will also live in cold areas. Cats with thick fat layer have better cold resistance, so compared with cats with oriental body, fat cats with western body have better cold resistance. Now looking at your own fat cat can give you some psychological comfort. Although I eat a lot, these fats are still useful at the critical moment! ?

The body temperature of young cats will be slightly higher than that of adult cats, and they will be more afraid of cold. For example, a newborn kitten must ensure that the milk it drinks is not lower than its body temperature. And once it's cold, kittens are more likely to die. Few stray cats born outdoors in winter can survive the severe winter. ?

? For the cold, cats themselves have some special heating skills, such as snuggling up with people to keep warm. Recently, a photo of a Japanese cat turning into a blanket to protect its sleeping owner from the cold has been circulated on the Internet, attracting heated discussion among netizens. The baby boy in the photo is sleeping on the mat, wearing loose pants and a sports coat. At the moment, the cat at home is very close to the baby's stomach, neither too hot nor too cold, which is really comfortable! The baby slept soundly, obviously the cat didn't bring him discomfort. ?

? Some netizens commented: "This cat not only warms the baby's stomach, but also warms everyone's heart!" Of course, some netizens expressed doubts: "Maybe cats don't want to keep their babies warm. On the contrary, they need to keep warm?" We all know that cats like to climb onto our beds when they sleep. If this behavior becomes more and more frequent in winter, it may also be a signal that they want to keep warm.
