[ARCHIVED THREAD] - cold Cat??

Posted: 12/27/2016 8:51:01 PM EDT

I have a cat about 10 months old that says in the house.

She is always cold since winter set in.

climbs under covers, lays out under the fireplace when it is on.

I might ad she is quite plump.

I taught her to roll over when she was younger and she developed a weight problem. It took a lot of cat cookies to get her to roll over and shake paws.

Do I need to make her a cat sweater??

Not weird at all. Cats like warmth.

I think cats just like to be warm. My little tortie cat loves sleeping under the covers with me. I'll also set up a folded comforter so she can crawl under while I'm gone.

Get a sweater or jacket for her. We do that for our older cats.

Cats have a higher body temperature than we do, and they're desert animals. They like it warm.

Just make sure she has plenty of warm places to curl up and she'll be fine.

Some cats like to get under the covers or wrap up, others don't.

Cats do love a warm spot. My white cat is like a little heat seeking missile, especially when it's cold out. The heat vents, the fireplace, even the treadmill after I get done using it.

ETA...

Cats are heat vampires. They will actively seek out and absorb all heat they can find.

Our cat actively scouts the HVAC vents in the house waiting for the heat to come on. When he hears the furnace fire up he runs over and plops down on a register.

Yep, mine still haven't forgiven me for getting rid of the CRT TV & monitor. Those things really put off some heat. I hate to think of how much cat fur was in them.

Cats descend from a desert cat. Therefore yes they like warm. That is why they are often called heat leaches...

Domino may be taking the whole heat leech thing too far.
