Its currently 10 farrenheit here. My one cat goes out to pee voluntarily, cries at the door 10 minutes later. My other cat, it could be hours. In fact, when its going to be super cold at night, I don't let that cat out after 4pm, because he may not come back till the next morning. We did have a thread about temperatures years ago, and a poster from Minnesota or somewhere like that was saying its perfectly safe for a cat to go out when its this cold if they can come back in when they want too. Do you all think that is true, or maybe my cat is just too stupid to be allowed outside in this weather? This is an 8 pound domestic shorthair, not a Norwegian Forest Cat. I do suspect that he has somewhere to hang out where he has access to some sort of warmth...he has spent the night outside when its 20 degrees (accidentally, he just sometimes doesnt come back if let out in the afternoon) and come back seeming totally fine and also warmer than he should be the next morning.
By way of aside, it is now illegal to have your pets be outside in NJ if its below 32 degrees which is lol nutty. But 10 degrees is another matter?
