A cat like the one in that image would surely get cold in a Finnish or Norwegian winter.

Yes, it would. I've never seen a cat like that, but I have seen dogs with little fur and they are often dressed in winter. We have a short haired canine neighbor and he doesn't want to go outside any longer than he has to during winter.
Dogs (and probably cats) with that little fur need sun screen in summer, so they're double vulnerable.

My dog had warm fur, so his problem was hot weather. But when it was really cold (we're talking close to -20 C) he would walk and then hold one paw up for a little while, then continue. It really did look like he was suffering from walking directly on the cold ground. He was also bothered when he got snow stuck in between his toes, he'd bite on it until I could reach him and remove the snow from his paw.

Yes, I think some people forget that their dogs and cats have feelings too. Their feelings are just as valid as our own.

All living creatures have feelings. The dead, too. After all, they tell you to respect the dead.

Of course they are, Enviro. I've never thought otherwise.

Even worse! Maybe Kuraudo77 could knit him a jersey if he ever ventures into Canada.

A Russian fur hat would keep him snug too.

There are a number of hairless dog breeds as well as hairless cat breeds.

Aren't humans hairless ape?

Yep, but we had to develop clothing for when it's cold. Sometimes this involved using the fur of another animal!

Weather is going warmer (For me).

I'd honestly rather wear nothing at all, though I do have a poncho/cloak thing and a purple thing that's like the top half of a kimono that are quite comfortable.

Still waiting on leaves here, too.

^Really? Wow.
