Your cat's preference for tight spaces and blankets might be due to feeling cold with the cooler weather. Cats often seek warmth in such conditions, but it's essential to ensure she's comfortable and healthy.
- Monitor her behavior for other potential signs of discomfort
- Ensure she has warm places to relax
- Consider providing extra warmth if needed
Cats tend to find warm, cozy places when the temperatures drop. Look for signs such as shivering, cold ears, or reluctance to move from warm spots, which can indicate she's feeling chilly. Provide her with a warm bed, perhaps with a soft blanket, or consider a heated pet bed for added comfort. Make sure she has access to these warm places in all parts of the house she frequents.
