Cold Weather Tips

  • Keep your kitties indoors! Outside, cats freeze and can become lost, stolen, or injured.
  • Never leave your cat, or any other animal friend, alone in a car in very cold weather! A car can act as a refrigerator and your animal could freeze. So, if you take your animal friends on a trip, make sure you and your family take them with you when you leave the car.
  • Make sure all of your animal friends have a warm place to sleep that's off the floor and away from places where cold air might get in. They would be happy and warm in a kitty bed or on a warm blanket.
  • Cats generally get less active in winter. As such, you should cut back a bit on what you feed them. (Don't expect your cat to see it this way, however!)
Cat in the snow

In cold weather, keep your cats away from antifreeze solution, and promptly clean up any antifreeze that spills. Antifreeze is attractive to pets and is deadly, even in very small amounts.

Antifreeze may consist of nontoxic compounds, such as propylene glycol, but most contain a very toxic compound, ethylene glycol. Some commercially available antifreeze preparations contain as much as 95% ethylene glycol. Antifreeze poisoning has the highest fatality rate of all toxins in small animals, with the fatality rate even higher for cats than it is for dogs. The reported fatality rate of ethylene glycol toxicity in dogs is 59 to 70%.

If you suspect your cat has gotten into antifreeze, get to your vet immediately! Early clinical signs, usually seen within 30 minutes to 12 hours of exposure, include depression, nausea and vomiting, and central nervous system signs including ataxia (wobbly gait), head tremors and back and forth movement of the eyes in the head. Prognosis is excellent if treatment is instituted within 3 hours of ingestion of ethylene glycol for cats, and within 8 hours for dogs. Prognosis is poor if renal failure develops.

While cats should be inside all year-long, outdoor cats run the risk of getting frost-bitten ears or freezing altogether. Left on their own to find warmth, many cats crawl under the hood of a car where they can get hurt or killed when an engine starts!

A Cautionary Tale

Karen had always wanted a kitten, but her mother was allergic to cats. So, when Karen finished school and found a job and her very own apartment, one of the first things she did was answer a "Free Kitten" Ad from the local paper. Karen chose an adorable white ball of fluff and christened her "Snowflake".

Intent on being the best possible mom to the kitten she loved, Karen bought a cat-care book, and everything she needed to make Snowflake feel at home.

Kitten

This "cautionary tale" was written by Cheryl Simpson of "Feline Friends Network" in Stratford, Ontario, to underline the current cat overpopulation problem.
