In the colder autumn and winter, how do you pet owners keep their cats warm? What should we pay attention to when serving the cat owner? To this end, the editor has compiled some common questions and gave you a detailed answer so that everyone can better "serve" their cat master~
Q1: Are cats afraid of the cold?
A1: Cats are thin and do not have too much fat to keep warm. Therefore, they are more afraid of cold, but only "fear" rather than "cold"! Because "cold" is a stress response for them, once they feel the cold, they will take some countermeasures, such as cats like to drill into warm places in winter, like to sleep next to the heater, etc. In short, for cats, "cold" can be resisted, and they rarely get sick because of cold, but they still have to be afraid~
Q2: How to keep cats warm?
A2: First, poop shovelers can create a relatively warm and comfortable nest for cats, such as buying a special cat nest, or DIY it in a carton, and then laying soft mats or warm old clothes on it.
Secondly, don't let cats have the experience of "alternating hot and cold". In other words, shovelers try not to take them out when the temperature difference indoors and outdoors is large, because cold and hot can easily make them sick.
Q3: Do you need to dress your cat?
A3: Generally speaking, it is not necessary, because cats have higher physical agility than dogs, and wearing clothes will affect their "walking in the world" and restrict their movements. But if your cat is in poor health and is more afraid of the cold, you can consider buying some clothes for them.
Q4: It's cold, do cats need to heat up drinking water?
A4: There is no need to deliberately heat it up, because too high water temperature or too hot food will stimulate their stomach and intestines and easily cause them to vomit. Similarly, don’t give ice water and food taken from the refrigerator to the cat immediately. You can leave it for a while before feeding it to the cat after it reaches room temperature.
Q5: What else should I pay attention to?
A5: Although it is not recommended to take the cat out for a walk when the temperature difference indoors and outdoors is large, the shovelers cannot reduce the number of times they "see the world". You can take them out for a walk on a sunny afternoon and feel the fresh air. At this time, you can open the windows at home to breathe to ensure the circulation of air.
The weather is cold, so shovelers must pay more attention to the cats so that they can feel the "temperature" of their owners~
