Signs That Your Cat Is Cold

[@jimbuxton2187]

An outdoor feral cat adopted me.... he lived outside for two years without a family. I told him he was coming to live with me and he has never wanted to go outside again....

[@trumpwilson7846]

I got one who adopted me too... Now I'm stuck with her and I love her❤

[@yawbear]

cats do want to go back outside, inside has a lot of unseen chemicals that need your cat to have a healthy liver…sunlight helps them get rid of the toxins.

[@SM-ce1uy]

@@yawbear outside has microplastics in air and pollution .... surely you know this

[@reallyseriously7020]

I have one of these too. I've never seen him go outside since he walked in my door about 5 months ago.

[@melissadeloach8503]

He may not have been feral, but a stray or abandoned housecat. Bless you for giving him a good home.

[@jeanniemainzer8551]

One of our cats sits right on top of the vents, hogging all the warm air for herself. We call her our “heat ho’...lol.

[@stacyrussell460]

Hahaha that's cute

[@SabellaSummers]

Our cat has two of her cat trees right beside the heat vents in the bedroom of which have multiple beds and two regular beds in the living room along with her playpen and another bed inside it also in the living room. All of her beds in the living room have extra blankets.

[@dancingsugar79]

Omg. My Tortie girl Mars does this too. It’s so funny. I’ll be freezing and she’s hogging all the warm! lol

[@bikecommuter24]

My Cat and I lived with my Mom for a bit when she needed someone to be around, anyhow Mom was cold one night and I had the heat on, Mom's chair was right next to a vent, I looked under the table by her to check the vent my Cat was laying on it soaking up all the heat, normally he camped out under my desk which also has a vent, he liked my Mom a lot he would lay on her lap a lot she usually had a blanket on around her.

[@jameschan9634]

When she was a little kitten, Snowy would always crawl under the covers to snuggle and knead my chest. As she got older (she's now 3yo), she 'became more independent' and that became less and less frequent. Now that it's getting colder, she's back! Sometimes, we cuddle for hours! I Love her!!!!

They always love you more in the winter lol!

[@UnderHisWings0322]

As someone who feeds about 20+ ferral cats that no one else takes care of in our neighborhood, I can't let that many inside no matter how cold it gets. We have a few of our own inside and would love to shelter the others but we don't have a basement or garage or even a building outside to put them in. So my husband and I made some small winter shelters outside in hopes that they share. Tomorrow night will be down to 15° F. Thats all that I know to do😔

[@Kathy_Bennett]

Have you seen the shelters one can make to help feral cats? Look on KZbin for words like feral shelters or how to build feral shelters. Edit: Also, make sure ferals have plenty of food in their bellies. Food equal calories, calories equal energy, energy equal heat.

[@amymik9871]

You're doing a wonderful thing

[@wendyrichards7458]

Having a medium to long and very dense coat, my cat is rather happy to see the end of summer. Gone are the days of sticking to the shade or stretching out on the cool kitchen floor. These cooler but still mild days of autumn are her sweet spot.

[@jaysartori9032]

Just keep your heart open and seek professional help if your pet if your pet acts up. "Never, I repeat never shun your pet because they show some behavior problems! All pets deserve a Loving home and someone to loves them back.

My opinion is that all cats want love even if they don't know it yet.

My ginger male burrows under my blanket, my feral girl prefers the stereo tuner, and my Russian Blue perches in a sunny window 🐱 😊

Try to break your feral girl of the tuner habit. Laying on top of something that radiates electromagnetic waves can cause serious health problems (including cancer) in the long term.

[@bleustarz9457]

Thank you! I have a blanket covering the ladder leading to the loft where the stereo is and she no longer goes up there. I have the cat tree in a sunny window now and that has become her new heated sleep space! 😁🐱❤️

[@joycem.7857]

I have 2 cats, one stays in and one is in and out 24 hours a day. She comes in long enough to check out the food bowl and then back out the door she wants. She'll sleep for about 4 or 5 hours inside and that's it other than that she is outside rain or shine cold or warm even in the snow.

[@slc1161]

Consider making your in and out cat an indoor cat. It will add significantly to his or her lifetime. My current buddy is pushing 21. He goes out during summer but on a leash or carrier with screens.

[@ArnoldZiffle-jw2mv]

Not sure it’s good for cats to be outside alone. My friend used to brag about his cat getting in fights until we noticed that his injuries were all on his south end. Seems like he was losing his battles. He finally got his cat neutered & it turned into a great companion. Please consider keeping cats inside or on a screened patio.

[@darkredvan]

Our cat is going outdoors every day (or better night) regularly several times a night for several hours. She can get indoors any time she wants (as well as outdoors). So she absolutely can choose herself if and how long she stays outside. She does not mind even heavy rain or snow. What she does not like however is strong winds and heavy rain. Not a weather anyone would like to be in.

[@selenadansfield1305]

My Furbaby sleeps under the covers with me. When she's cold, she comes up on my lap and puts her COLD footsies on my skin to warm up (I'm usually a blast furnace). She knows I'm thrilled to accommodate her!

[@tomdavies6443]

Allegedly 90% of our heat loss is lost through our heads Regards from a Tom :)

[@BlueTressym]

Ctas' much smaller body mass is one of the primary factors in their much lower temperature tolerance. They usually feel warm to us because they lose a lot of heat so they'r like small, fluffy radiators. A healthy cat's normal body temperature is between 38.1°C and 39.2°C (100.5°F and 102.5°F). They're prone to both overheating and getting too cold. AS FF said, their coat length, size, mass, and colour, can all be factors for a given cat.

[@tiffshorse13]

My tiny cat gets cold at night. She paws at me once to ask and then I hold the quilt up and she insists on sleeping on my belly. I adore all 7 pounds of her.

[@drumnbassjd]

2:15 hold on a minute. A cat is only comfortable if the room is at least 30C? So every cat in Britain is permanently uncomfortable?

That seemed too hot to me also. My cats appear to prefer 75ish F. Above 80 F seems too hot for them, as they lay on the hard floor instead of their beds.

[@ArnoldZiffle-jw2mv]

30 C =86F according to my search!!! Seems very warm & dogs like 75 - 78 F according to the internet but our dogs would be begging to go out.

[@KRich408]

We rescued a kitten a while ago he turned out to be a Siberian Forrest Cat. He hates the heat when it's cold up here in the Michigan UP he wants to go on the unheated. Enclosed porch to chill in a window and watch the world go by. We are still trying to find a way to let him out there with minimal heat loss during Sub Zero weather 🙃

[@impamiizgraa]

My boy seems to absolutely hate being warm. He is thriving in my dad's cold ass house. In my warm home, he confines himself to the bathroom floor, coldest place in the house!

[@janeceeastwood8035]

Cats are so beautiful. Thanks for the good information.

[@relent-lass7510]

[@BubblyTeatime]

My cats have free access to the garage because some of their litterboxes are there, plus sunlight in the day, but even though i live in California, night time temps in the winter can drop down to low 40s upper 30s where i live and yet my shortest haired cat still want to sleep in the garage. I feel his ears and they're definitely cold but if i bring him inside to one of the many cat beds he will still go to the garage.

[@b.nichols3255]

My cat loves to be outside. Temperature outside now is 4 to 8 degrees, far colder than her bed inside the house. She has a microchip controlled hatch to come in if she feels cold so I guess this article doesn't apply to all cats.

[@Ivehadenuff]

My elderly cat crawled under the radiator when she was cold. Her last winter alive I kept the heat at 76 so she would not be cold.

[@rski1036]

I live in a basement suite,there are two. We had a stray that would curl up on a couch I had outside side. I picked him up and brought him into my room and and we slept great

[@sahaara7946]

Our two cats must be an exeption then. One of them loves to sleep for a few hours in the basement (admittedly he used to be a semi-feral mostly outdoor cat that came to us) and the other one likes my moms cold bedroom. We don´t understand why. We offer them so many places in warm rooms. Whenever they come inside and are wet we quickly dry them with our clothes or a small towel so they don´t stay cold. We bought so many beds, pillows and even a heated blanket for them but they enjoy the cool rooms more.

[@lisazappala4381]

My Nina doesn’t like to lie in the warm sun nor does she like warm blankets. She chooses to lie on cardboard scratches and on the floor. She rarely gets up on any furniture, only 1 chair and doesn’t like to cuddle or be hold but is very affectionate in other ways. I always have warm and fluffy available to her as I’ve rescued and fostered many cats and she’s the strangest one yet

[@theresagallagher9161]

I have a cat just like yours. She is a strange fur ball but just as sweet as any cat I had previously.

​@BeeKaye my kitten is the same. I would like a lap kitty but that's not her style. She sits next to me but not on me except in bed.

[@AndrewAHayes]

My Giuseppe Puss has one of the cat cave beds, I installed an electric heat mat in there along with his favourite blanky and one of my sweaters, so he has my scent to make him feel comfortable, the heat mat has a thermostat and is plugged into a timer, he loves it, the room temperature is 20 degrees and his bed is located near the radiator

[@randysmith9715]

The sun shines in on the couch in the afternoon. I can count on her to be there all afternoon. She will then come upstairs and lay in the front bay window where the sun is still shining. I have a pet heating pad on the bed. I start it and she just jumps on it.

[@lsdave42]

My cat is an indoor cat and my apartment always stays at 71 degrees regardless of season, but I can always tell when he's getting dangerously cold when, after staring out the window at the cold outdoors, he retreats to his heated bed and refuses to move. Then there was the cat that I had growing up who would ask to be let out into snowstorms at night and reappear several days later just to briefly eat and then disappear back into the snow, and only stuck around after the snow was melted.

[@Jormunguandr]

Blanket, pillows, made a fortress for kot, kot very comfy 😊❤

[@beckyshell4649]

I had a cat that when she was cold would tell you with a meow that sounded like she was saying ‘cold’. She slept with me and would wake me up if she wanted out to potty or she was cold. The meows sounded completely different.

I have chicken 50 watt heat lamps on a wire shelf above cat beds for mine.

[@laurastewart-mcdowell2394]

My Gus Gus figured out what our portable heater is about a year ago, I woke up in the middle of the night he figured it out and saw him giving it kisses and telling it he loves it. (Long slow blink). Tonight we have it out again and immediately he went it to and laid right next to it. I keep our house at around 70-75 degrees, but its as if the cold from outside hits him even though he never goes outside or even near a door.

[@RickBerg-b9k]

[@Lii170]

Although they do like warmth and laying down under the sun, none of the cats I've had so far have been comfortable at 30°C. As soon as we have that temperature, you see them inside searching for a dark shadowy place or laying on colder tile floors.

[@Thwumpus]

2:04 68°F is a little cold for me. I prefer 71-72.

[@grayb7420]

My one cat is pretty tiny and often looks cold so she has her own heating pad.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

My cat does do more attempts to snuggle, like trying to come under My bed covers and sit by my head, however He won't stay there all night. He doesn't like the sound of My fan heater He either mews until I turn it off or he trys to stand right in front of it so I have to turn it off because it will burn him. He has think winter coat so He isn't cold enough to get sick but Je knows its colder because nos nose gets cold. Cats can easily die from a common cat cold but thye can't cach that off of a human.

[@OutlawDressmaker]

Miss Stripes LOVES to sleep IN bed with me on cold nights. She buries herself under the blanket and sleeps all night there. Mr Blacky has come and done that, too, but, he usually just buries himself for a few minutes to warm up, then heads off to wherever he wants to go, he might came back to warm up again. Mr Tabby the Spoilt Feral Housecat is this really feral cat that lives in my house with me. On cold nights, he often hops on my bed to sleep next to me...or on me. Sometimes he will get between my left and sleep with hiss head between my feet. There are also boxes and other enclosed spaces for cats to sleep in when it is cold.

Cold weather isn't what bothers cats... it's hot weather. In Wisconsin we had barn cats that were just fine outside to around -5 or -10 degrees F. Here in Arizona the cats are just fine in winter where it gets 30-50F, but in summer they freak out when it's over 100 and demand to be let inside where the air conditioning is on.

It's a two bedroom and two bath camper at least but we have two dogs and one inside cat so we don't have much room but there is a small old farm house that I'm wanting to set up for the outside cats. We get a lot dumped off here due to having a creek on the property. I want to start a sanctuary but don't have the money at all rn, heck I go without eating to make sure all the animals have plenty.
