Veterinarians warn that cats can suffer from hypothermia when exposed to cold temperatures for extended periods. While cats have fur for warmth, it may not be sufficient in extreme cold. Most cats tolerate temperatures between 10-19°C, but discomfort begins at 7-9°C. Risks increase significantly below 6°C, especially if they remain outdoors. Young, elderly, hairless, and sick cats are particularly vulnerable. Signs of cold stress include shivering, seeking warmth, and decreased activity. Prolonged exposure can lead to severe hypothermia and frostbite, which can be life-threatening. Owners should ensure their cats stay warm and limit outdoor time during cold weather.
