Does cats benefit from a humidifier?

[Kodaoo7]

Since it’s getting colder outside I would wake up with a dry throat and was planning on buying a humidifier but don’t know if it would benefit my cat or would she be annoying at the ultrasonic humidifier?

Not sure about that specific type, but I have a cool mist humidifier that my cat and I appreciate (the added humidity minimizes her dry skin/flakes).

Mine makes no noise. I use it when my cat gets a cold and it helps my sleep apnea though I cannot stand it long breathing in warm air. What is cool mist?

What is cool mist?

The moist air that comes out of the machine is cool, not warm / hot

Sure. Many living things can benefit from a humidifier in the winter. People, pets, plants. Instead of ultrasonic, just use a regular cool mist humidifier. I would think the ultrasonic waves may be bothersome to a cat with their super sensitive hearing.

I don't know about health issues, but I'm certain my cats appreciate not sparking when petted or on the bed.

I have a built-in one on the furnace, but that doesn't quite cut it in the depths of winter. I also have a small dry mist humidifer that I keep in a central room downstairs. Between the two, they do a good job.
