Cats need extra warmth in winter. It's crucial to take precautions to keep them warm. Their beds should be placed away from drafts and equipped with sufficient warm cushions and blankets, and kept in a warm indoor environment. If the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius, you can use an air conditioner or a small electric heater to help keep them warm. If using an electric heater, set it to the lowest setting – warm to the touch but not hot – to prevent accidental burns. Cats should be fed warm water and food in winter. Like humans, cats are prone to diarrhea from cold food and water, so warm their food before feeding. Furthermore, they need energy to withstand the cold, requiring more food in winter to store energy and resist the chill. Feeding them protein-rich foods provides more calories, while nutritional supplements provide vitamins and other nutrients to enhance their immunity.
