Cat care tips for Chicago

Keep your cat safe through Chicago's extreme seasonal shifts

Chicago winter warmth

Chicago winters are brutal. Indoor cats need warm spots away from drafty windows and exterior walls. Ask your sitter to ensure heating is consistent and to check for cold drafts near your cat's sleeping areas.

Radiator and heating hazards

Old Chicago apartments rely on steam radiators that can get extremely hot. Ensure your cat cannot sleep directly on radiator covers, and alert your sitter to any hot surfaces that need guarding.

Summer humidity and heat

Chicago summers bring intense heat and humidity. Ensure air conditioning is available, and ask your sitter to keep windows closed on hot days. Check that window screens are secure to prevent falls.

Winter indoor enrichment

Chicago cats spend months confined indoors during winter. Puzzle feeders, window bird feeders, and interactive toys are essential for keeping them mentally stimulated through the long cold season.
