What if cats are afraid of heat?

Cats generally lick their fur with their tongues, wet it with saliva, and cool it by evaporation of water. However, in the hot summer, these measures obviously can't help cats cool down. There are many kinds of cats, including long-haired cats and short-haired cats. Strictly speaking, long-haired cats are more afraid of heat than short-haired cats. However, in hot summer, even heat-resistant cats are afraid of heat.

The reason why cats are afraid of heat is very simple, because there are no sweat glands on cats, and the heat dissipation ability of the skin surface is relatively poor. Cats generally lick their fur with their tongues, wet it with saliva, and cool it by evaporation of water. However, in the hot summer, these measures obviously can't help cats cool down. To this end, when cats are afraid of heat, it is best to do the following.

As long as the temperature is right and it doesn't rain, you can bathe the cat. Dry thoroughly and blow dry after washing, so that even if it is not sunny, the bath can still be carried out as planned. After all, cats are sometimes bathed in winter.

You can trim the hair of a long-haired cat properly (thinning the hair), and be careful not to shave the cat. At the same time, the hair on the cat's toes must be completely trimmed, because this part is covered with sweat glands, which can better help the cat to dissipate heat and cool down.

Don't take your cat out when the weather is sultry. The time to walk the cat every day should be changed to cool early morning and after dinner.
