Can Cats Survive In Snow?
Do cats prefer to be warm or cold?
Table of Contents
Cats prefer warmth but will be okay in rooms hovering between 50-60 degrees. This is not ideal for them though, and you’ll likely notice your cat seeking out additional heat by snuggling up to a radiator, blanket, or you!
What is the lowest temperature a cat can tolerate?
A good rule of thumb is if your cat is healthy, any temperature above freezing (32°F), should be safe. If the temperature dips below 32°F, this is where severe health problems can occur. Frostbite and severe hypothermia will start to become prevalent in this type of weather.
Where do stray cats go during the day?
While your pet cat most likely has many resting areas at your house, wild cats in the neighbourhood must make do with what is available. Neighborhood cats are likely to be seen resting in vacant lots, abandoned cats, crawl spaces, and even the porches of some homes.
