Scientific Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Biology - Zoology, language: English, abstract: Attitudes towards acceptance of outdoor living of cats (Felis catus) in man's neighborhoods or in wild nature are deeply divided: On the other hand, free roaming is a natural behavioral characteristic, common in all felines, and on the other hand modern pet cats, often bred to satisfy human desires are regarded as unable to withstand harsh environmental conditions, especially cold weather. Most urban pet cats spend all or most of their time indoors, and in the strictest attitudes, these pets do not survive in low temperatures. In literature, the minimum air temperature in cats' living spaces is sometimes set as low as + 25 degrees centigrade ( C). Demands to keep cats indoors are justified by stating the inner (core) body temperature of cats is 38 - 39 C, i.e., a couple of degrees higher than in human beings. Cats have, however, several essential characteristics that make outdoor living possible and safe.
