Most cats are not cold tolerant. The coat of a cat is composed of one hair and multiple auxiliary hairs in the hair follicle. Compared with dogs, the coat of cats has too few layers and its warmth retention is much worse. Therefore, when cats encounter cold weather, they may experience lethargy, depression, and even muscle stiffness. When the weather is cold, it is necessary to keep cats indoors and prepare a warm and comfortable cat nest for them. But there are also several types of cats that are not afraid of the cold, such as Scottish fold cats, Shandong lion cats, Norwegian forest cats, and Russian blue cats. Because their ancestors came from the cold north, they are relatively cold-resistant.

Methods to keep cats warm:

1. Keep cats indoors. Cats that are kept outdoors in winter should be raised indoors, and cold weather should minimize the cat's going out.

2. Electrical appliances keep warm. You can use an electric heater to keep your cat warm. The electric heater needs to be safely isolated and secured.

3. Feed and drink warm water. You can provide warm water for cats to drink, and soak cat food in warm water for cats to stimulate their appetite.

4. Increase your diet. Increase the cat’s food intake and supplement nutrition. You can add some cat snacks and nutritional paste.

5. Add more clothes. For some special breed cats, such as hairless cats, you can add clothes to the cat appropriately.
