Cat care tips for Madison

Keep your cat comfortable through Madison's full Wisconsin seasons

Harsh Wisconsin winters

Madison winters are long, cold, and snowy. Wind chills below zero are common in January and February. Ensure your heating system is reliable, provide warm bedding in multiple rooms, and ask your sitter to check indoor temperatures every day from November through March.

Warm, humid summers by the lakes

Madison summers are warm with high humidity off Lakes Mendota and Monona. Air conditioning is important during July and August. Ask your sitter to verify the thermostat and ensure your cat's water sources are refreshed daily during peak summer heat.

Winter dry air management

Madison's forced-air heating creates very dry indoor conditions from October through April. A humidifier and water fountain together are highly recommended to keep your cat comfortable and well-hydrated through the long Wisconsin heating season.

Thunderstorm season awareness

Madison sees active thunderstorm seasons in spring and early summer. Many cats become anxious during storms. Share your cat's weather-stress routine with your sitter and ensure windows and doors are sealed before any spring or summer trip.
