PREPARING YOUR CAT FOR WINTER

Fall is here and winter is coming. Summer passed and weather is starting to get colder. If your cat eats a little more than usual, don't try to stop it. By eating a little more,  it's just trying to get more fat in its body for winter and it's an ordinary thing to do. Because getting more fat in it's body is a preperation for winter. It has it's own preps too .
     First of all your cat may need more food just allow it, but don't mix it with obese/overeating problems. So be careful.

We've come to end of delightful,sunny days.If you have a balcony and your cat used to go out don't worry at cold your cat generally won't want to go balcony/ outside. Maybe just for few minutes it will look around.At cold weathers its better watching outside from windows.Still if your pet wants to go look outside from balcony you can let it look.It won't stay long if its cold. :) Let your cat decide for its own good sometimes.If it is curious whats going on outside let it experience it.Your cat will decide come back to home fast :) Don't forget after few minutes if your little friend still didn't come you can take it back to warm indoors. 

You will notice while your cat sleeping  everywhere in summer (floor,chairs maybe even balcony) at cold weathers it will prefer to sleep at your bed :) , or at sofas.

You may not feel cold enough to warm your house.It may not same for your cat.It can be cold. You can give soft,warm blankets to your cat. If it has its own pet bed put there one warm blanket. If not put anywhere it likes to sleep.Cats love to go under warm,soft things even when they are not cold.You should not forget `kittens` shouldn't go out at very cold weathers no matter what.They don't have full fur,enough fat yet.


When it's cold or wet its best to keep your old,sick or young pets inside.

You may not feel need to warm your house.With these small supplies you can make your cat happy and warm. Its more about their enjoyment than avoiding cold :) Warm and soft things are 'cat thing'.Be sure u provide these to your pet.

Cat's fur is not perfect for cold weather but usefully enough. Another important point is its not recommended make your cat wear clothes.Cats definitely don't like it.Also they cant clean themselves,they don't feel comfortable with cat clothes.Its not recommended.





Cats are very resistant to heat.So don't panic if your cat laying on heater,radiator and other hot places.



Life is easier to indoor cats when its cold outside.
One thing you can do for outdoor cats 'feral cat shelters' if you can not do nothing you can leave some boxes and put inside something warm.Street cats can hide in bad weathers. Below links you can have some ideas.And don't forget to put water and food for street cats.That's most important.  
In hard winters many cats and dogs die because of cold.Small things you can do can save their lives.
