Sticking meat for winter! Guide to raising cats in winter

1. cooling reaction

The temperature has dropped. Even cat owners at home feel the winter, and the temperature that cats feel comfortable is 18~26 degrees. When they start to get together with their arms folded, they don't want to lie on the floor and get into bed or tremble, which means they may feel cold.

2. Fur care

In winter, cats' fur will grow faster to resist the cold weather. We can comb their hair regularly, remove tangled dead hair and dander, and care for their fluffy fur. Healthy fur can better help cats keep warm. Cats take a bath in winter, and it is easy to catch a cold because of catching cold. Try to reduce the number of baths for cats, and replace them with proper cleaning methods, such as wiping cats' fur with wet towels and cleaning them with special dry lotion for cats.

3. Cat nest layout

Prepare a closed, warm and comfortable cat nest for cats, which can be covered with soft blankets, cushions or idle clothes (such as down) at home and placed in a sheltered and sunny room.

4. Heating safety

Cats are not as sensitive to high temperature as people, and their hair has no nerve cells and no pain, so they are easily burned without knowing it when heated. Use heating equipment to separate the cat to avoid scalding. When using electric blanket, thick sheets should be spread on the electric blanket to avoid direct contact with the electric blanket. The temperature should not be too high. When the weather is warm, cut off the power and wrap a towel in the warm water bag to avoid direct contact with the cat.

5. Pay attention to your diet

Ensure drinking water: insufficient drinking water for cats may lead to urinary system diseases and kidney diseases. Because the winter is cold and the water temperature is low, cats are unwilling to move and the amount of water they drink is reduced. So you can put the cat's basin near where it sleeps, and try to raise the water temperature to 27~29 degrees to improve the cat's interest in drinking water.

Nutritional supplement: cats, like humans, need more calories in winter to meet their needs. Protein and fat intake of cats can be appropriately increased.

Pay attention to going out

Travel inspection: In order to avoid the cold, stray cats may get into many inconspicuous places in the car. Before driving, open the hood to check whether there are cats and dogs in the engine compartment, under the car, near the wheels, exhaust pipes and wheels. Honk the horn before starting the car to make sure there are no "cats" that have escaped the net, so as not to hurt them. Although winter is very cold, this winter is still very warm.
