Why are cats afraid of cold?
Related to origin
The ancestors of domestic cats were wild cats living in the desert, which were discovered and domesticated by human beings. Until now, cats have retained their nature of liking dryness and warmth.
Related to body temperature
The cat's body temperature is around 38 degrees, which is slightly higher than that of human beings. Although short-haired cats will change their hair and grow fine down in autumn, their length and thickness are still not enough to withstand extremely cold weather. It's like you're wearing a light coat, and you feel cold anyway.
How cold does the cat feel?
Not that cats can't live in cold places. There are long-haired breeds that can adapt to the cold in Siberia, but compared with dogs, cats are mostly thinner and don't have much fat to resist the cold.
The most comfortable temperature for cats is 25-29 degrees, and it will be cold below 15 degrees.

A way to keep warm!
Provide warm items:
Cat nest, blanket, etc. , open or semi-closed, can be placed in sunny places.
Get dressed:
Hairless cats are especially needed. Try to choose clean clothes to prevent eating by mistake.
Clothes will restrict freedom and are not suitable for hairy cats.
Ensure an adequate diet:
Ensure that cats have enough energy to resist the cold, and can properly supplement canned wet food. Niubeijian multi-dimensional suspension milk supplements enough vitamins to improve the cat's resistance.
Get more sunshine:
The cat's favorite thing is to bask in the sun. You can leave a good position on the balcony with your back to the sun and put a small cushion on it.
Try to avoid going out:
Keep warm indoors, reduce the sense of temperature difference, and it is easy to catch a cold when you go out.

The misunderstanding of keeping warm
Use naked flame/electric heater:
The cat's skin perception ability is weak, and it is easy to burn the cat's hair if it is heated locally for a long time!
Close the doors and windows:
Long-term air circulation can cause respiratory diseases, so you can open the window for ventilation at noon when the temperature is the highest.
Turn on the air conditioner for a long time:
Will dry skin or respiratory diseases, the chance of catching a cold will also increase!
Use an electric blanket:
Electric blankets are not easy to run for a long time, and heating cats for a long time will lose water.
