Can cats stay at home in summer without turning on the air conditioner?

Cats are highly adaptable animals, and not turning on the air conditioner at home in summer will not cause serious physiological problems to them, but we should pay attention to the following points:

1. Provide enough water for cats: In summer, the temperature is high and cats are prone to dehydration. In order to avoid discomfort caused by dehydration, it is necessary to provide cats with sufficient clean water and change it regularly.

2. Keep indoor ventilation: indoor temperature tends to rise in summer, and cats lack ways to sweat, which is prone to heatstroke symptoms. So make sure the room is well ventilated and let the cat breathe fresh air.

3. Provide sunshade measures: Direct sunlight will cause harm to cats' skin, and it is easy to get heatstroke in the sun at high temperature, so provide them with sunshade measures, such as umbrellas and shading cloth.

4. Indoor humidity control: When the temperature is high in summer, the indoor humidity will also increase, which is easy to breed bacteria and mold. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly open windows for ventilation to reduce indoor humidity.

If there are elderly cats at home, cats suffering from minor illnesses such as heart disease and respiratory diseases, it is recommended to turn on the air conditioner appropriately to cool down. However, attention should also be paid to the details when turning on the air conditioner, so as to avoid excessive temperature difference and blowing air conditioning on the cat to cause a cold. Generally speaking, if the indoor temperature is moderate, cats can eat, drink and defecate normally without any abnormal reaction. It is also feasible not to turn on the air conditioner.
