Hi, I have a silly question. Do kittens get cold like humans do? I have my ceiling fans on. Sometimes I can feel the chill if I am wearing short sleeves. Would the cat feel cold? Will they catch a cold by sleeping with the ceiling fan on? I won't catch a cold because I have my blankets, but they only have their fur...

I know this sound stupid but I am just wondering...

It's not a stupid question at all and kittens do indeed get chilled, depending on their age. Momcats will always have her litter under something away from drafts and open air because kittens shiver reflex doesn't kick in right away. A chilled newborn kitten, or young kitten can die if exposed.
