The undercoat of their fur captures heat and circulates it's body, sometimes it doesn't keep them warm enough so it was a good idea to put a blanket outside. Some cats even have short, rounded ears that captures heat from the sun. I know it sounds crazy but they DO have the same features of artic foxes. They find warm places just like street people do. Warm air vents, garages, underground parking garages, large compost bins, cooling car engines. Sadly, a lot of stray animals die in the winter or get frostbitten ears, tails and toes. If you don't want to adopt the strays you see, call the humane society if they have a no kill policy or put out food and water and make a nice warm, sheltered nesting are somewhere and keep it clean for the poor little guys till warmer weather comes around.
