The most suitable temperature range for cats to live is between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. When the low temperature in winter begins to drop below 15 degrees Celsius, cats will also feel cold.
Although cats have very thick hair, the cold wind in winter is hard to withstand and will penetrate into the cat’s skin, causing the cat to shiver. This is simply torture, especially for cats with poor health, older age, and short hair.
