In winter, the cat is constantly near the heater. Is this harmful to it?
“Moderate exposure to a heat source is not harmful if the cat feels comfortable,” says veterinarian Denis ZUBOVSKY. “However, it is important not to allow the pet to overheat and to constantly monitor its condition. The heater should not be too hot or running continuously.
Try to keep it away from the pet so that it cannot get too close and suffer burns or overheating. Also, check for access to warm and cool places: it is important for the cat to have the option to choose a cooler or warmer spot depending on its needs. Provide other resting places for the pet: try to create comfortable zones in the house where the cat can feel warm and calm.
If you notice signs of discomfort in the animal or that it is spending too much time near the heater, it is better to consult a veterinarian.”
