? Cats are warm-blooded animals. It can regulate your body temperature. When the temperature is high in summer, the energy it needs to maintain normal body temperature will be relatively low; Moreover, when the temperature is very low in winter, higher energy is needed to maintain normal body temperature. If cats eat the same food in autumn and winter as in spring and summer, the energy needed to maintain normal body temperature will increase, and the energy provided to the immune system will decrease, so cats are more likely to get sick in autumn and winter.

? Cats catch colds very easily in autumn and winter. Once they catch a cold, they are likely to have symptoms such as sneezing, diarrhea and vomiting. If the cat catches a cold, don't give it cold food or drink raw water. Cat's nasal branch, which is similar to the symptoms of a cold, is also a disease that cats are easily infected in autumn and winter. Cat nasal branch is a very strong acute infectious disease, which occurs in the upper respiratory tract of cats. Many cats carry this virus and usually look healthy. Once the weather and environment change obviously, cats will suddenly get sick, especially young cats, and the incidence rate is higher. If the cat's nasal branches are not treated in time, it is likely to lead to the death of the cat, so the owner should pay attention to improving the cat's immunity at ordinary times and take preventive measures early before the arrival of cold winter. What's more, in autumn and winter, cats are likely to have insufficient sunshine time because they wait indoors for a long time, which will reduce skin resistance and increase the risk of skin diseases.

? Preventing cats from getting sick in autumn and winter depends on the more careful care of their owners. The owner must let the cat get more sunshine at ordinary times. Regular exposure to the sun can keep the cat warm, and it can also kill the bacteria on the cat with the help of ultraviolet rays in the sun. The owner can take the cat outdoors to bask in the sun, or let the cat play in sunny places at home, which can also promote the cat's absorption of calcium and improve its resistance. In terms of diet, the owner can supplement the cat with vitamins by adjusting the cat's diet structure, such as giving it some high-protein food, which can not only enhance the cat's immunity, but also make the cat's hair more shiny and smooth. And the living environment of cats must be kept clean, dry and ventilated. Cat herpesvirus, the pathogen of cat nose branch, is very fragile in dry environment, and its survival time will not exceed 12 hours. Therefore, keeping the indoor environment fresh and dry is one of the effective methods to prevent cat nasal branches.

? Of course, to improve the immunity of cats, it is necessary to vaccinate cats, which can not only prevent the nasal branches of cats, but also prevent other diseases. If cats don't get vaccinated, the risk of getting sick will be even greater, especially in autumn and winter, when the weather is cold and the cat's resistance is very weak. In addition, the owner should properly adjust the cat's diet, supplement nutrition, and provide sufficient energy for the cat's body.
