Winter can be a dangerous time for your cat. Slick roads, low temperatures, and infected animals are all more prevalent during the holiday season. Keep your favorite feline safe this winter with the following tips:
Prevent Outdoor Access
The most dangerous place for your feline during the winter is outdoors—cats are more likely to contract frostbite or freeze to death when exposed directly to the elements. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reports that cats are more likely to contract diseases outdoors as well. Diligently monitor the location of your cat to keep her safe this season.
Create a Warm Bed
Make sure your furry friend has a warm place to sleep at night. Create a bedding space with several layers of warm blankets. This protects your cat from winter chill by giving her a place to collect body heat during the night.
Avoid Haircuts
Animals use their fur as natural jackets. That’s why you should let your cat grow her hair out during the winter. The extra hair will provide her with protection from low temperatures and frigid winds. If your pet must get a haircut, ask your pet stylist for a simple trim.
Treat Frostbite Symptoms
Occasionally, pets do contract frostbite from the winter environment. If this occurs, treat their symptoms immediately. Prepare a pool of lukewarm water into which you can dip your pet’s paws—this process will slowly thaw your cat’s extremities. Thaw the paws for 20 minutes, and apply antibiotic ointment to any red, throbbing, or oozing areas on the animal’s body. Continue to treat the frostbite with this method until you can bring your cat to the vet. Pets should always see a veterinarian for any health concerns.

Halloween is coming up shortly. While you may have already planned out your devilish costume, have you thought about your four-legged friend’s fashion needs? Dressing up your pet can be a fun way for you and your family to celebrate the season. Whether you purchase a costume for your pet or make one of your own, it’s easy to include your pet in Halloween festivities:
Spooky Costumes
Your adorable pet gets fawned over every other day of the year. This Halloween, why not dress your dog up as something scary, like a dinosaur or Bride of Frankenstein? The combination of your cute pet with a scary costume is sure to delight your friends and family. Always remember to check that your pet’s costume is not too restrictive so that your pet can breathe and use the restroom without any problems.
Cute Costumes
If you prefer that your pet stays nothing but cute, try dressing him up as a superhero like Superman, cape and all. Depending on your pet’s tolerance of costumes, you can be as elaborate or as simple as you like. If you have two pets of different genders, try dressing them up as matching bride and groom. A bumblebee golden retriever puppy or a bikini-clad poodle will also be the treats of this year’s Halloween!
Matching Costumes
Though Halloween is just around the corner, you may still be trying to decide what you are going to wear for the evening. One option is to coordinate your costume with your pet’s outfit. Batman and Robin, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, or Wayne and Garth are all creative costume ideas for you and your pet to wear together.
Make sure that you and your pet have a happy and safe Halloween this year, no matter what you wear. If you have lost a pet recently, contact Paws, Whiskers & Wags in Atlanta at (404) 370-6000 for compassionate pet cremation services.
