cats in the snow || Keeping your cat warm and dry is the best way to make sure they’re happy.

Keeping your cat warm and dry is the best way to make sure they’re happy when it’s freezing cold outside. Just like us, cats can suffer hypothermia and frostbite, so helping their body temperature stay at a comfortable level is key.

If it’s snowing, cats will opt for staying indoors, so you don’t need to worry about them getting too cold. However, if yours is the curious and adventurous type despite the weather conditions, you’ll need to keep an eye on them during freezing and snowy weather and limit the amount of time they spend outside. Always provide a warm, comfortable place for them to return home to with plenty of fresh water to keep them hydrated.

Cats can be uncertain when it comes to snow, with some being more curious than others. Whether your cat likes to play in it, or avoid it, making sure they’re kept warm, safe and dry is key.

Snowstorms can result in reduced visibility and less grip on icy roads for drivers, putting adventurous cats at risk. Try and encourage your cat not to venture out in snowy weather and keep them inside overnight when temperatures can drop dramatically. To keep them entertained, make sure they have plenty of toys and a scratching post and interact with them regularly – this should keep them happy.
