Cats love warmth – everyone knows that. They always look for a warm place, even if it’s a mild summer outside.

Why does your pet constantly strive to warm up, even if he lives in an apartment with full heating? Let's figure it out.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the pet's physiology. In fact, this is a defenseless animal, which is protected from the cold by not very long hair.

It turns out that cats have quite a lot of cold receptors, which are hidden in the epidermis.

For this reason, a cat can stand for a long time on a roof warmed by the summer sun.

For a cat, a temperature of 20-24 degrees is not considered comfortable. For this reason, the animal looks for a warmer place. It is also important that the cat has access to both a cold and a warm place.

Cats are unlucky with thermoregulation - a temperature that is quite comfortable for a person may not be suitable for a purring cat.
