Winter, is the coldest season of the year depending on the location. The farther the area lies from the equator, the colder temperature it experiences. This post shall be about how well you can take care of your pets at home. There have been queries regarding the season change and health issues of pets. You can always get in touch with me , if you want to share your bits or query. Big thank you to all of my followers🙂

Weather effects everyone and everything. Our pets have their humans around to take care of them but what about outdoor cats and dogs? We shall discuss that too in this very post. But for now we are discussing on Felines. You can give outdoor cats shelter from the cold. They do have thick winter coat which helps feral and stray cat winter’s chill, but they still need warm and appropriate sized shelter. It would be so inhumane if we’d say, nothing can harm cats! Well, it’s just a myth. Though, Cats are pretty well adapted for cold weather, but when the temperature lowers below freezing they are more likely to suffer from hypothermia, becoming unconscious just like humans and can freeze to death. It can be considered like, if it is cold for you then definitely it’s cold for your Cat!

Symptoms of Cats Cold:

1. Sniffing

2. Sneezing

3. Runny Nose

4. Pus-like discharge around eyes

5. Difficulty in breathing

6. Feeling Lethargic

7. Cough

All the symptoms above are connected with the signs of your Cat catching cold. If you feel that your cat is not feeling well, immediately call your Vet.

Immediate help & what to give Cat in Cold?

Keep the eyes and nose free of discharge using a soft cloth or paper towel moistened with warm water;

Offer warmed canned cat food or meat-based baby food to encourage your cat to eat;

Provide plenty of fresh water for drinking;

Do not try to give your cat any kind of medication without consulting your vet as many human medications are toxic to cats;

Cats who are not interested in food or have especially severe or worsening symptoms should be seen by a veterinarian.

It is very important to keep a check on your pets. Your Cat might not be able to respond well to your tone but, it doesn’t means that you leave them on their own.

Be safe and stay safe!
