In a blink of an eye, half of the winter has passed. Although keeping cats warm in winter is also a problem, I think all the witty shit shoveling officers have found a suitable way to keep their children warm. Xiaoming will not go into details here. Talk about 3 wrong ways to keep cats in winter.
1. Open the electric blanket for a long time
Cats like warm places, but turning on the electric blanket for a long time can easily lead to a decrease in the cold resistance of cats. Moreover, cats are likely to grind their claws or bite wires on the electric blanket, which will easily affect the safety of electricity use.
2. Dress cats for a long time
Except for hairless cats, most cats don’t need clothes even in winter. The cat itself has more hair, and if you put on clothes, it is likely to suppress the skin’s breathing, which will lead to dermatitis in the cat. Moreover, cat hair has the function of regulating temperature. It is insulated in summer and kept warm in winter. Wearing clothes will also lead to a decrease in the adaptability of cats. Cats wearing clothes can also affect their movements, causing cats to keep biting clothes. If the clothes are of poor quality, cats may also swallow pieces of clothes into their stomachs, causing gastrointestinal problems.
3. Bath your cat in winter
A hot bath in winter may be a great way for many people to rest and relax, but bathing is not so cat-friendly. Most cats are afraid of water. Bathing the cat is likely to cause the cat’s stress response, and the cat’s hair is not dried, and it is easy to cause the cat to catch a cold. Especially in winter, the ambient temperature itself is low. If the cat’s hair is not dried and the cold wind blows, it is more likely to cause the cat to catch a cold and have a fever. Therefore, except in special circumstances, try not to bathe cats in winter.
Summarize
Compared with humans, cats are actually more resistant to cold. After all, cats’ hair is not just for selling cuteness. But the role of hair is also limited, we usually still need to pay attention to the warmth of cats. When heating equipment such as electric blankets, you should always pay attention to your cats. After all, every year, because of indulging in the “warm town”, there are not a few cats who lose their faces after being roasted.
