Outdoor cats, while often more resilient than their indoor counterparts, are still susceptible to the harshness of winter. Cold weather can pose significant risks, including frostbite and hypothermia. Unlike dogs, who may have thicker fur coats, cats often rely on their body heat and shelter to keep warm. An outdoor cat may shelter in a garage, under a porch, or in wooden shelters, but sometimes this isn’t enough, particularly in extreme cold.
