In winter, many cat owners try not to let their cats outside. It is believed that the pet can freeze in the cold.
Is it true? It all depends on the temperature outside and the four-legged creature itself.
Some cats are used to living exclusively in comfortable conditions and even 5 minutes near an open window in winter makes them shiver.
Other pets can easily traverse the snowy expanses and return home safe and sound.
Cats are able to adapt to low temperatures. They can stay in the cold for some time without harm to their health.
But there is a limit. Veterinarians say that -20°C is a dangerous mark for an animal. You can't leave your pet at such a temperature for a long time.
To avoid risks, it is better not to let your cat outside at all during periods of severe frost, otherwise you will have to warm it up later.
Many breeds tolerate frosts down to minus 20 degrees normally and can spend some time outside without harm to their health.
If your pet is too cold, you should never bathe it in warm water.
It is better to wrap it in a warm blanket and place it next to the radiator.
