How to Take Care of Your Cat in Winter: Tips for Coping with the Cold

Monitor the power supply  

Cats may need more calories in winter to maintain their body temperature. Be sure to provide them with a diet that meets their energy needs during the cold months, while avoiding overfeeding.

Protect paws and skin  

Dry winter air can cause skin irritation. Moisturize your cat's skin by adding omega fatty acids to their diet. If your cat goes outside, clean and dry its paws to avoid irritation caused by cold and salt.

Limit going outside  

If your cat is used to going outside, limit its time outside in winter. Cold and humidity can be dangerous. Offer him more indoor activities to keep him active and prevent boredom.
