Shivering is made by muscle work, that itself produces heat, as not all muscle energy expenditure transforms in kinetic force, because the ATP conversion is not perfect - no machine or mechanism are, including the biological ones!
Besides this fact, there are other components that account for the accumulation of heat by the body; the blood of the animal is deviated from skin and superficial mucosa to deeper - cold hands, lips and feet - to diminishes the loss of hot; in general, the behavior of the animal changes to a "warm itself"; tend to look for hotter places, cover itself. For animals with a lot of thicker pile - like chimpanzee - the piloerection component serve as an entrapment of hot air, functioning as a blanket.
Hypothalamus is the central organizer of this response.
We shiver to keep us warm during winter. The body core (brain, heart, central nervous system, etc) is very sensitive to low temperatures, so when the temperature drops, the CNS sends out instructions for the muscles to burn fuel (sugar + oxygen) to produce heat. The muscles aren't very bright; they don't know that they could do interesting things like pushups, situps or running. Instead they do the simplest thing, which is simply to twitch ... push, pull, push, pull ... it is this repetitive twitching that we call shivering. It burns fuel rapidly and generates quite a bit of heat. Unfortunately, it often doesn't begin until the body core is already under some stress; so if you begin shivering, it's a good idea to get out of the cold right away if you can.

Is shivering in the cold good or should I try to relax and suppress it?
Shivering is the body's attempt to work in order to gain heat, like how you get hot when running a marathon. If by good you mean healthy then no, if you are shivering you are either cold or sick so you should try fixing that. If you mean good as in good for loosing weight than yes, your body at a lower temperature will have to work harder to maintain constant heat.

How are shivering and perspiring related to Homeostasis?
Shivering and perspiring are both mechanisms the body uses to regulate temperature and maintain homeostasis. When the body is cold, shivering generates heat through muscle contractions, while perspiration helps cool the body down by evaporating and releasing heat. Both responses work to balance the body's internal temperature.
Can a cat shivering have a cold?
Yes, but it's unlikely. A shivering cat just means that.. well, the cat is cold! Older cats with arthritis are prone to shivering.
What is the function of shivering?
Shivering is an involuntary muscular response from the body, triggered by cold. The "shivering" muscles are trying to internally generate heat, to help keep you warm.
