Personally, I prefer to be inside when it’s very cold. But cats in cold weather can be just fine, especially if they have some help from humans. We have all kinds of ways to cope with cold weather, and some of them might surprise you!

Do your cats know when it’s going to rain?
Do cats know when it’s going to rain, Thomasina? My cat always asks to come in just before a storm comes.

Hi Just Curious,
Yes, we know when it’s going to rain! When the cats in my family feel those changes in the air, we all head for home as fast as we can.
It’s not just that we hate being wet. The real problem with a heavy rainstorm is that it changes all the familiar scents that keep us from getting lost.
It makes it hard for us to see, too, so we can easily miss all the claw marks we’ve so carefully made in tree trunks and fence posts to help us find our way home. And rain acts as what you humans call white noise, so we can’t hear as well as we’d like to when we’re outside.
Are cats afraid of the wind? Not really, but we do find it very annoying.It’s too noisy, and we don’t like bits of dirt blowing in our faces.
