 * 3) Since she/he is an outdoor cat, they will get used to it in time.[[Image:Take Care of an Outdoor Cat in Winter Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Check up on him/her regularly to make sure s/he is okay. If it is very cold, you should bring him/her inside to prevent him/her from freezing to death.[[Image:Take Care of an Outdoor Cat in Winter Step 4.jpg|center]]

Tips

 * Put the box near the house so you don't have to travel far to refill the bowl and check on her/him. This is so you don't have to go out in the cold weather.
 * If it is really, really cold out, you should bring your cat inside to prevent her/him from freezing or something horrible.
 * Put a food and water bowl outside near your house and refill the water bowl regularly because it will get frozen from time to time.
 * If you really don't have to make your cat go outside in winter, don't, but in the hot summer, it doesn't matter. She/he will be nice and warm.

Warnings

 * If it is really really cold outside, you should bring your cat in and if not, make sure their box is warm. Fill it with a blanket or a rug at the bottom anything to make some type of bedding.
