Winter is here and many pet owners are wondering whether they should let their animals roam outside.
If daily walks are a vital necessity for dogs, then what about cats?
Let's figure out whether it's worth letting your furry pet leave the warm room in winter.
It is believed that cats can adapt to quite harsh conditions, including cold, due to their thick fur.
However, there are still a few important points to consider before letting your cat out of the house in winter.
Firstly, if the cat has never been outside before, it is best to postpone the animal’s first walk until a warmer time of year.
Secondly, veterinarians do not recommend walking animals when the temperature outside drops below 20 degrees.
Thirdly, if you decide to let your cat out in the cold, be sure to do so only during the day and do not leave the animal out overnight, otherwise the risk of frostbite increases significantly.
