In the cold weather in winter, many people will ask, will fluffy cats be cold?

Dr. Maodou tells you that cats are not afraid of the cold, but very afraid of the cold. Because the ancestors of cats lived in desert areas and were not good at dealing with cold during the evolution process, cats are animals that are afraid of the cold. Especially Siamese cats, Bombay cats, and Sphynx cats are more afraid of the cold. However, some breeds have longer hair and are relatively cold-resistant, such as Persian cats, Maine Coons, and Norwegian cats. Earth cats have also adapted to certain cold weather as they evolved. So what does a cat do to indicate that it is cold? ​​​​​​

Do cats get cold

When your cat feels cold, there are several signs:

Curling up, the amount of exercise is significantly reduced.

Loves to lie down on blankets and other places that can warm the body.

Move to a place with a heat source.

Always wants to lie on the owner’s lap or be held by the owner.

The amount of water consumed is significantly reduced.

When the above signs appear on your cat, it means that the cat is cold and needs the owner to provide the cat with a relatively warm environment. The temperature that cats feel comfortable is about 22 to 24°C. Where there is no heating, the air conditioner can be adjusted to about 23°C. It is best to let the cat move back and forth between a "heated room" and a "slightly cooler room". This way the cat can choose a comfortable room.

In places with heating, you should also pay attention to the room humidity. It is best to maintain a humidity of 50 to 60% to prevent cats from developing dehydration symptoms.

If you don’t have any heating equipment, you can make a cardboard box for the cat, put a blanket inside, and open a hole of about 15 cm according to the size of the cat for the cat to enter and exit, so that the cat can keep warm inside.

Remember the 5 signs that cats are cold. Cats that are so cold can easily develop cat colds, diarrhea and other symptoms. So please don’t miss the signal your cat sends you when it feels cold!
