Winter weakens a cat's defenses, raising the risk of three problems: panleukopenia (distemper) — highly contagious, often fatal in kittens, prevented by vaccination; feline herpesvirus (cat flu) — carried silently, deadly when it flares in the cold; and chill-driven vomiting/diarrhea that can become gastroenteritis. Keep up vaccines and nutrition, stay warm, and limit winter baths to once every one to two months.
