During the winter season, cats are prone to developing hypothermia, a condition in which the body cannot maintain heat, and the body temperature drops. It is a fatal condition that leads to coma and death in cats if pet owners do not give prompt attention. Indoor cats are more protected from the cold winter since they stay inside the house. Cats that may still feel cold while inside the house tend to seek warmth in nooks and crannies. So, it is best to adjust your home temperature and ensure that it is warm enough. Outdoor cats are directly exposed to cold; they are at a higher risk of developing hypothermia. They would need to have a temporary place to stay warm and comfortable, such as the garage, to save them from hypothermia. Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, difficulty breathing, and dilation of pupils. If you notice these symptoms in your pet, bring her to a professional veterinarian Louisville KY immediately.
