how cold is too cold for my cat? she got a cold, i'm taking her to a vet today and once she gets better, i plan to let her back into my air conditioned room because she loves it there, so i'd like to know the perfect room temperature for her so she wouldn't get sick again.

It's probably unlikely that Duchess got sick from being in an air conditioned room unless the room was so cold that her immune system was suppressed. That being said, I appreciate your concern for Duchess! Ideally most cats would probably prefer temperatures between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I hope Duchess is feeling better soon!
