Keeping Cats Safe in Winter

As the temperature drops, here's how to keep your cat cosy and safe:

Indoor Cats

  • Provide warm spots away from draughts
  • A heated cat bed can work wonders for older cats
  • Keep them entertained with new toys and puzzle feeders

Outdoor Access Cats

  • Always ensure they can get back inside
  • Check sheds and garages before locking up — cats love to sneak in
  • Wipe their paws when they come in to remove any grit salt

Feeding

  • Outdoor cats may need slightly more food in winter as they burn energy keeping warm
  • Always keep water fresh and unfrozen

Health

  • Watch for signs of arthritis in older cats — cold weather can make it worse
  • Keep up with flea treatments even in winter

Stay warm, cat friends! 🐱
