Surviving Winter: How Southern Cats Keep Warm

Cat Nest

Prepare a "Winter Cat Nest" for your feline friend. Though it may be the item that pet owners spend the most "冤枉钱" on, there are countless styles to choose from, ensuring you find one that suits your cat's taste perfectly. For cats that are sick, lactating, or recovering from surgery, consider adding a "petspecific electric heating pad" to the cat nest!

Electrical Appliances

There's a common phenomenon: every winter, the electrical appliances in our homes that generate heat become the favorite spots for our cats. This includes keyboards, monitors, the top of computer cases, and televisions... not to mention heating appliances, which are like the sun for our cats during the cold season.

However, it's crucial to ensure electrical safety. If using a "small sun" heater, be sure not to burn anything. And here's a solemn official statement: the reason for the "burnt face" on New Year's Day was not due to the heater!

Adjusting Diet

Cats need to consume more energy to maintain their body temperature in cold environments, so adjusting their diet during winter is vital. Consider increasing their food intake slightly, and for cats with sensitive stomachs, it's recommended to serve warm canned food and warm water...

Clothing

While many cats dislike wearing clothes, those with poor insulation, like hairless cats, might benefit from wearing "warmup pants" or "insulating clothing." It's said that the texture of a hairless cat is like holding a stack of RMB bills!

Sunlight Exposure

No cat can resist the sun in winter. Set up a spot where your cat can enjoy the sun, and you'll find that this winter, your cat will show you a lot of love! If possible, I hope my cat can "work" to support me through the winter~

Increased Exercise

Just like humans, cats in winter tend to want to stay cozy in their warm beds. Therefore, increasing your cat's exercise is a great choice. It's said that cats need to burn two fish sticks' worth of energy for every hour of exercise!

Reducing Bathing Frequency

Cats are naturally clean, and living in a clean indoor environment, the frequency of bathing can be reduced during winter. If there's no special need, I think it's perfectly fine not to bathe your cat in winter! Alternatively, you can use "norinse shampoo" to gently wipe the surface of their fur.

HumanCat Comfort

What if your cat loves to snuggle in bed? As the saying goes, "raise a cat for a thousand days, and enjoy its warmth for a moment." Cats that can warm up the bed and feet are truly invaluable. I would like a stack of such cats!

Wishing every cat can safely navigate through this winter. It's truly cold out there, and not all cats have a "pet parent" to care for them!
