Cats normally maintain a body temperature between 100.5 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If your cat temperature falls well below this range, it may experience hypothermia. This dangerous condition is mainly caused by exposure to cold weather, winds, or water, and can affect any cat, although newborns and cats with short hair are at greater risk.
