Cat care tips for Detroit

Keep your cat safe through Michigan's challenging four seasons

Prepare for harsh Michigan winters

Detroit winters are long and brutal, with heavy snowfall and temperatures that can drop well below freezing. Ensure your heating system is reliable before any trip, provide warm bedding away from drafts, and ask your sitter to check temperatures daily.

Humidity extremes in summer

Detroit summers are hot and humid. Ensure air conditioning is functioning and ask your sitter to monitor indoor temperature and humidity. Cats exposed to excessive heat and humidity can suffer heat stress rapidly.

Window and screen safety in spring

As temperatures warm in April and May, the instinct to open windows is strong. Ensure all window screens are secured and in good condition before your sitter arrives to prevent cats from pushing through or falling from upper floors.

Combat dry winter air

Detroit's indoor heating creates very dry air throughout winter. A humidifier keeps moisture levels comfortable for your cat, and a water fountain encourages adequate drinking during the cold months when cats naturally drink less.
