Why Do Cats Crave Warmth?

Cat lovers know there’s no greater joy than curling up on a cold day with a kitty in your lap. And while it’s comforting to imagine that they cuddle with you because they love you, the catty truth is that they’re using you.

 

 

Desert Ancestry
As descendants of ancient desert animals, domestic cats are hard-wired to thrive in toasty climates. With an average body temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit, cats living in cooler climates must compensate for their temperature-sensitivity. Some breeds have developed thick, fluffy coats as a result, but many others depend on external heat sources — like us — to stay warm.

 

That’s why, when there’s no cozy human lap to be found, it’s not uncommon to find a cat lounging in a sunny windowsill, burrowing under a cozy blanket or even parking directly in front of a space heater.

Safety First
As adorable and funny as it is to see cats bundling up in front of a heat source, it’s important to keep a careful eye on them to make sure they aren’t hurting themselves. Being able to withstand high temperatures doesn’t mean they can’t get burned, and in many ways, they’re often more susceptible to getting hurt due to the way their fur works.

As cat expert Pamela Merritt explains, “while their fur is insulating, this can work against them when they use our heat devices. They can cuddle up to something warm, not realize it is getting warmer, and their fur will keep them from noticing until it is quite hot.”
To discourage your cat from relaxing too closely to a radiator or space heater, tempt him with a cozy blanket situated a safe distance away from the heat source. Or better yet, scoop him up in your arms and indulge in a bit of kitty cuddling …
