With the weather becoming cold now
And sometimes below freezing
Us cat parents have a responsibility to make sure our little feline friends are kept warm
So a question that cat parents tend to ask is
Should I leave the heating on for my Cat?
The answer to this is very simple
No you don’t need to unless you want to pay a huge bill!
And I know that’s not something you’d want to do
So why I’m I saying no to leaving the heating on?
If you’re out at work then the house will get cold obviously and my cat will feel cold
But this is not true
Why?
Because
Your cats internal body temperature is around 3ºc – 4ºc higher than of a human
That means your cat will feel comfortable and happy in temperatures that we may not be able to tolerate
So as long as you’re gone away for just a couple of hours it should be okay for your cat
Another thing you can do is,
Leave the heating on for a hour or two before you leave the house
And then you can turn it off after you leave
That way, your house will stay warm for a couple of hours
How You Can Keep Your Cat Warm Whilst You’re Away
We love our cats too much
So I understand we can worry that our cat may still feel cold if the heating is not on
The best way to keep your cat warm indoors is to provide them with a beautiful cosy warm heated cat bed
They’d love that
Have you ever notice you cat loves snuggling up in warm places
Such as near the radiator, where the sun shines, on your bed
So imagine a self warming heated cat bed?
It’s such a great way to keep your cat warm whilst you’re not in the house

Wrapping It Up
You don’t need to leave the heating on if you have gone out
Your cats body temperature is a bit higher than ours so what me may find cold your cat won’t
But that doesn’t mean we don’t need to help them
Cats do get cold too and sometimes they can’t tolerate it
So this is where we step in
To help them feel warm in winter
Because if we don’t they can get sick from the cold weather
Which is why I recommended that you get your little furball a self warming cat bed
That way your cat can snuggle up in this bed whenever he feels cold and you’re not at home
And yes, heated cat beds are good for your cat
They are not dangerous or anything
Your cat will appreciate it
