The British Shorthair is afraid of the cold. The British Shorthair is a short-haired cat. Although its hair is very thick, its ability to withstand the cold is not as good as that of a long-haired cat. If the temperature is too low, its resistance will decrease and it will be easy to get sick. Therefore, it should be given in winter. Take measures to keep warm. Especially during the kitten stage, if the temperature is too low and the cat is not kept warm in time, it can easily suffer frostbite or even freeze to death. The room temperature should be controlled at around 27 degrees to help it survive the cold.
Methods to keep the British Shorthair warm in winter:
1. Feed the British Shorthair more protein- and fat-rich foods to supplement calories and resist the cold.
2. Prepare a warm and comfortable cat nest for the British Shorthair, and put cotton pads or hot water bottles in the cat litter.
3. Try to take your British Shorthair out as little as possible. If you must go out, you can put it in a cat bag or put it on a piece of clothing to keep warm.
4. When the weather is fine, you can let the British shorthair get more sunshine, which can increase its heat and improve its immunity.
