How Weather Can Affect Cats
19th Nov 2025
Cats might act cool and collected year-round, but weather affects them more than they let on...
On hot days, you may find them stretched out in the shade. They seek cool tiles, and generally move less because cats feel the heat, even if they don’t sweat like we do.
Rainy or stormy weather? Expect more naps, fewer zoomies. Many cats can sense barometric pressure drops. So if your cat vanishes before a thunderstorm, they’re not psychic… just finely tuned. Or maybe they are psychic...
In fall, you might notice thicker fur, more snuggling, and a stronger urge to claim every sunny windowsill. It’s all part of their seasonal rhythm.
But when winter hits...Things shift completely.
Cats crave warmth. Whether they’re short-haired or floofy.
That’s why winter is the perfect time to upgrade their space with a multi-level cat tree that gets them off cold floors, or a plush bed that keeps them warm without stealing your spot on the couch.
And rumor around the food bowl is… Armarkat makes both.
Cozy cats are happy cats—and winter is better when everyone’s got a place to curl up!
