How about cats?

As any cat owner will tell you, there is no way you are going to get a cat wearing a coat to keep warm. There are other things you can do, however, to keep kitty insulated from the chill.

Feed them generous portions of healthy food on daily basis because they use more energy to keep warm and maintain their body temperature during the cold weather.

Provide them with a warm, soft place to snuggle in. A sleeping bag can insulate their bodies from cold. If you are on a tight budget, you could buy an indoor heating pad for your cats. The heated pad can be used alone or placed on top of your cat’s bed. It is removable and can be used year round.
