It snowed last night for the first time this year in my southern Ontario area, and it got me thinking about boots, winter coats, and the three kittens who call home.
“Give me proper boots and you will not want for fur hats or decent meals or anything,” said Puss in Boots to the son. When I think of Puss in Boots from my childhood, I recall all those favorite times to read and picture Puss in Boots. Back then it seemed strange to think of a cat in boots, but today, with all the new and cute pet clothes, the thought isn’t so strange anymore. There are indeed spats for cats and pet owners use them, but if you are thinking of buying them then you should proceed with caution.
Pet clothing, including pet clothing for cats, is becoming increasingly popular and a number of different pet and pet supply stores offer different types of clothing, including in some cases winter boots for cats.
The question is, does your cat need winter boots? Well, if you live in cold climates and your cat goes outside, she may benefit from winter boots. The problem is that cats have such an independent nature and their claws contribute so much to their cognition that getting the cat used to the winter boots can be difficult.
As pets get older, and that includes cats, they need extra help to keep warm, especially when the cat goes outside. As they age, when they go on long outings, their body temperature can drop when they come back and cool off, so winter boots can be a temporary option until the cat warms up again.
There are certain pros and cons to cats wearing winter boots. It is true that when there is snow and ice outside your pet’s paws can freeze and the snow can get between his toes and when there is salt on the driveways he can track that salt into the house and onto your carpets. But if you put winter boots on a cat and let them go outside unsupervised, you also take down their defenses, because a cat uses its claws to defend itself against other animals, and when it’s wearing boots, it just can’t use those claws also use.
Cat boots can be used as a decorative style or as a way to warm his paws when he comes back in, but letting him out alone with cat boots probably isn’t such a good idea.
The pet clothes fashion is cute and can be used on cats. Small sweaters and boots are available, but you should probably enjoy them at home and stop when your cat goes outside. Probably the best way to keep your cat from freezing is to keep her indoors where it is warm and comfortable. Most of the time the cat will sniff outside, when it’s really cold it’ll turn its back and decide to stay inside anyway.
