At Ownat, we bring you tips on placing beds and blankets near heat sources and creating cozy resting areas. Here we go, winter is coming!
Cats tend to be quite sensitive to cold, which is why it’s very important that now, with the cold just around the corner, your home is perfectly equipped so that this situation isn’t too hard for them. Here are some tips to face the low temperatures!
Beds and blankets, always in the right spot!
A very simple thing you can do is make sure your cat’s beds and blankets are strategically placed in warm areas protected from the cold. Where is it better not to place them? Near windows or doors where there might be cold drafts.
The ideal is to place beds and blankets in indoor areas where the temperature is more stable—your cat will be in heaven!
Important: heat sources
To keep your cat extra warm, consider using heat sources in specific areas of the house. Like what? Electric radiators or thermal pads designed for cats can be your best allies. That said, very important: make sure these devices are safe and that your cat cannot chew the cords or access dangerous areas. Safety is always a must :)
Very cozy resting areas
In addition to placing warm and fluffy beds, you can create small cozy resting zones. How? Very easy! Place shelves or ledges near windows so your cat can sunbathe during the day and enjoy the rays coming into your home. Cats usually love the natural warmth from the sun and enjoy watching the outside world.
Blankets yes, but soft and cozy
Soft blankets are an essential element to keep your cat warm during the winter or when temperatures drop. Simply place an extra blanket in their favorite resting area and change them regularly to keep them clean and fresh—you know how clean they are! Tip: make sure the blankets are machine-washable for easier care ;)
We hope these little tips have helped you prepare your home for winter and create warm spaces for your cat. And now, yes indeed: enjoy the ultimate plan—blanket, sofa, and lots of amazing moments!
