Although my cat is overweight, he seems to be cold all the time. He lays on the heating register. I have seen small dogs do this but never a cat. What gives??

Im not a vet, but I have 2 cats. Both of them are far from skinny actually both rather chubby.. my chubby babies :) They both love the heat. The work they way under the blankets especially in the winter. I know that cats love the heath.

My cat was a chunky thing, but he often would seek a warm spot. Sometimes cuddling with my dog, other times laying in the sun. It sounds completely normal to me.

Yes laying in the sun is another. On a hot summer days here it gets up to 35deg Celsius.. they both love it, rolling all over the garden floor in da sun ;)

Cats like warm surfaces. It is comforting to them. Becareful not to let her burn herslef though.
Good luck

All my pets are the same way. Every one of them loves to lay in the sun or under the blankets. I think its just a comfort zone thing. My solution is to cuddle.
