Is the cat afraid of heat?

All cats are afraid of heat, because the sweat glands of cats are underdeveloped and it is difficult to dissipate heat.

If the ambient temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, cats will suffer from loss of appetite, heatstroke and dehydration.

When the temperature is high in summer, the shovel officer should prepare enough drinking water for the cat and use physical methods to cool the cat, such as air conditioners, fans, mats, ice mats and other items.

Scrapers must keep in mind the following four precautions.

First, when using air conditioners and fans to cool cats, it is necessary to avoid the cool wind blowing directly to cats.

If cats are allowed to blow cool air directly, their gastrointestinal system will be affected, leading to diarrhea, vomiting and soft stools.

Secondly, when using sleeping mats, ice mats and other items, the shovel officer must be present to avoid the cat's wanton destruction.

Although most sleeping mats and ice mats are made of scratch-resistant fabrics, this is not a long-term solution, and we cannot underestimate the destructive ability of cats.

Third, in hot summer, cats need plenty of drinking water, which can be stored at room temperature, instead of using ice water.

Drinking water is mainly to solve the thirst problem of cats, and ice water can't be used to cool down. Ice water can easily cause diarrhea in cats.

No matter whether it is hairy or hairless, a cat is afraid of heat because its sweat glands exist in the meat pad and nose tip.

It's summer now, so I hope you shovel officials will pay more attention to prevent cat heatstroke.
