Should I cover my kitten while he sleeps?

eclaire531 · Jul 20, 2015

His name is Jinxx and he is 6 or 7 weeks old.
Right now, it is 95°F outside. I have an attic bedroom so it feels over 100° without the air conditioner on. Also, I tend to get hot easily, so I have the A/C on low.

If my kitten is sleeping, should I cover him with a small blanket or something so he doesn't get cold?

by the way, he hasn't gotten his shots yet and I have an 8 year old cat and a 13 year old dog, so I can't really let him roam free just yet.

Maybe this article will help you decide if he is too hot or cold.

By letting him roam free do you mean outside?

thank you for your help.

and by "roam free," I mean around the house. Right now, he's downstairs (two flights down from usual) and he's exploring, but I'm down here too.

Sounds as uncomfortably warm for most cats. But cats are individuals, and many love it to be really warm...

You can try and lie a thin blanket on him if he is one of these warm lovers. If he doesnt like it, he will wriggle out soon enough.
