My cat has fur loss from fleas. Will she get cold outside in winter?

Question

I let my indoor cat become outdoor back in July... i just noticed that her fur on her back has fallen off from the tail to the center of her back, which is because of fleas and i gave her an anti flea capsule a week ago... in the mean time while the treatment continues, is the lack of fur on her bsck going to affect her in the cold weather?

Given that C is allowed outside, it could be that the lack of fur on her back will affect her in the cold weather. She could become colder easier, so I would either keep her indoors until her fur grows back in (which unfortunately can take months), or you can get her a sweater or coat to help keep her warm.
