Are cats afraid of heat in summer?

Because there are no sweat glands in the cat, the cat's skin has poor heat dissipation ability. When the weather gets hot, cats will open their mouths and breathe, which may even lead to heatstroke. Therefore, the owner needs to provide a cool and ventilated environment for the cat. At the same time, you need to prepare enough water for the cat. Otherwise, cats may get heatstroke if they stay in a hot environment for a long time.

Some physical methods can be used to cool cats, such as providing cooling appliances for air conditioners and fans.

Because the cat's heat dissipation parts are in the tongue and soles of the feet, shaving the cat has little effect on cooling. You can shave the cat's feet on its meat pad. You can also put an ice pad in the cat's nest, or you can reduce the consumption of sugar and starch by conditioning cat food.
