Do cats need electric blankets in winter?
Cats don’t need electric blankets in winter. First of all, using an electric blanket is risky. Cats have a habit of biting things, which can easily cause electricity leakage, cause fires, and even burn the cat. Secondly, long-term use of electric blankets will reduce the cat's own temperature regulation ability and resistance, and can easily lead to adverse reactions such as dry skin and dry hair. Finally, the indoor temperature is higher than the outdoor temperature in winter, and cats do not need an environment that is too hot.
Methods to keep cats warm in winter:
1. Reduce going out. Cats that are kept outdoors in winter should be raised indoors, prepare a warm cat nest, and minimize the cat's going out.
2. Electrical heating. You can turn on the air conditioner or heater to keep the room warm and reduce the temperature difference between day and night.
3. Provide hot food. Provide warm water for the cat to drink and soak cat food in warm water to stimulate the cat's appetite.
4. Add more clothes. For some special breed cats, such as hairless cats, you can add clothes to the cat appropriately.
5. Comb the hair. Brushing your cat's fur frequently will help them moult more smoothly and help them combat cold weather more effectively.
