Cats are amazing that way, and the weather does not seem to affect them as much as it does a dog, unless it is a dog with a very thick coat, like a husky or malamute.
When I lived in the north, it would get very cold, sometimes -20f in the winter, and we would just have to budnle up good to go out and feed the horses, who would all be sheltering in the trees and bunched together to keep as warm as possible.
One day, our cat turned up missing. We hunted all over for her, but with no luck. The next day, I went to get some food out of our freezer, which was on the back porch. There was the cat, lying on the bottom, a little stiff, but fine and actually purring in there.
I have no idea when she got in there, but we must have left the freezer door open, and no one saw her climb in. It was actually warmer in the freezer than the outside air was; but I am sure that she had to be cold in there.
After that, I watched very close any time I had the freezer open, to make sure that Grey hadn't gotten inside it again.
