    Yes. Whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter.

    It's best not to let your cat sleep on the floor in any season. Because the insulation of the floor is poor, even in summer, the floor is cold at night. When raising cats, you can buy a cage or use a cardboard box for cats, but pay attention to the daily cleaning of the cage to avoid infection with ear mites.

    and other diseases.

    During the change of seasons, it is best to do a good job of keeping the cat warm, in case of the same cold as people, for cats with sensitive intestines, diarrhea is a danger signal, because many diseases will have symptoms of diarrhea. Not only that, cats are also afraid of the cold, so in winter, prepare a thick cotton nest for cats, a warm and warm nest, accept the quilt to grow out of the cat, accept it to get into your quilt at every turn to hug and ask for warmth.

    In terms of the origin of cats, the ancestors of cats were wild cats that lived in the desert.

    Because there was too little food in the desert to meet the daily consumption of cats, cats slowly appeared in the granaries of the Egyptians to prey on rats to eat, and from this incident, cats began to be gradually discovered by humans, and gradually began to be domesticated, and finally evolved into so many breeds of cats now. Because of the nature from ancient times to the present, cats still retain a place that likes to be dry and warm, which is why cats like to bask in the sun lazily and like to curl up beside the stove, and are so afraid of water.

    Compared with dogs, the ancestors of dogs are East Asian wolves, living in cold plains, and after a long evolutionary process, sweat glands have degenerated, so compared to cats, dogs are more afraid of heat and more cold-tolerant. But this is not to say that cats cannot live in cold places, and the long-term evolution of the species has divided cats into different species, such as in Russia, Canada, and Norway.

    There are cats with very long body hair that are not afraid of the cold, they have evolved from adapting to nature for a long time, and have become completely accustomed to living in low temperatures.

    But for the cats in the homes of the various shovelers, after all, our cats don't live in the cold all the time, so they are hairy children in winter.

    Still afraid of the cold, especially shorthair cats.

    Although the hairy child will change its hair and grow small fluff to protect against the cold since the beginning of winter, this short hair is not enough to withstand the cold. Winter is the season of high incidence of cat diseases, the temperature drops, and the cat's immune system.

    will be relatively reduced.

Because cats are not cold-tolerant, and the hair on the cat's abdomen is relatively small, they usually take a lying posture when sleeping, and the abdomen touches the ground, which can easily lead to cold, diarrhea, colds and other symptoms.

    When the indoor temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it is best to cover the kitten with a quilt, and when it is lower than 10 degrees, adult cats also need to cover the quilt to keep warm. For cats to sleep, avoid ventilating the cat bed, and try to close the windows in the room.

    In particular, cats who like to sleep on the heater are prone to lack of water in their bodies. If it can't actively drink water, lactose-free milk or warm fish soup are also good options to lure it into drinking water. However, the sleep time of senior cats and kittens will be particularly long, as long as the home is warm enough, there is no need to worry about it.
