• | Hypothermia, which can be fatal (shivering is the first sign) |
• | Frostbite (ear tips, tails, and toes are especially prone) |
• | Injury or death as a result of resting on a warm car engine (your cat may not have time to move when the engine is restarted) |
• | Disorientation in winter storms, making it difficult to find the way home |
• | Falls through thin ice on ponds, streams, etc. |
• | Ingestion of antifreeze, a deadly poison |
Keep your kitty indoors during cold weather. If he goes outdoors year-round, provide a warm, dry bed in a shed or garage that protects against the elements.
