My heavy coated, 13lb norwegain forest cat loves to go outside with me. She's a good kitty, has no intention of 'bolting' on me, likes to explore our backyard in chicago. So in a 4-season climate, she's allowed outside in 3 of them. Given her stature, and multiple coats, she's like the Husky of her breed.

She begs to go out, but I question if her being out in a cold element for any amount of time can hurt her. Can it? Or is her breed 'designed' for this sort of (Cold) weather? Thanks!
