Q: Do cat ever get frostbite?

Answer: Frostbite may affect the ear tips of the cat exposed for a long time to sub-zero temperature. The cat has no sensation in the ear flaps, and they appear pale and very cold to the touch. If frostbite is suspected, gently apply warm water with a pad, but do not rub vigorously, or apply intense heat suddenly. Latter, affected areas may appear red or, in severe cases, black. It is sensible to obtained veterinary advice.
