Care of cats in winter

Most cats prefer to sleep on people’s laps or snuggles. The main reason for this is that cats like warm places. Many cats are often seen basking in the sun in search of warmth during the winter. The adult and mother cat take the cubs and seek the warmth of the house. Even though cats have more hair on their bodies, they are colder. During this time, the cat is seen to be more sick. So your pet cat needs some extra care in winter.

   Cats are clean animals by nature and do not like water. It is better not to bathe the cat in winter, it can lead to fever and pneumonia. If necessary, take a bath with lukewarm water and dry well with a towel. If necessary, dry it with a hair dryer and keep it in a warm place.
