Guide to raising cats in summer

1, keep the cat's drinking water clean. In hot summer, pets mainly pay attention to changing drinking water for cats frequently, because cats will leave some substances in the remaining drinking water during drinking, and the remaining drinking water containing impurities is easy to deteriorate under high temperature conditions, so it is necessary to pay attention to changing drinking water for cats more frequently in summer to prevent cats from drinking deteriorated drinking water and prevent mosquitoes from breeding. If possible, you can equip your cat with a special cat drinking fountain to ensure that its drinking water is clean.

2. Cool the cat in time. High temperature climate in summer is easy to breed bacteria. If the temperature is too high, the pet owner needs to take timely cooling measures to help the cat cool down, on the one hand, to reduce the growth of bacteria and reduce the probability of the cat getting sick; On the other hand, it prevents cats from heatstroke due to high temperature. When necessary, pet owners can cool down by air conditioning, but they should also be careful not to adjust the air conditioning temperature too low. It is best to keep the room temperature at 26~28 degrees, and pay attention to avoid the cat blowing cold air directly, which will lead to catching cold.

3. Avoid shaving cats. Many pet owners shave their cats to cool them down for fear that they are too hot, but this is extremely wrong. Shaving cats doesn't cool them down. On the contrary, cat hair is the protective layer of cat skin. Shaving it will make it more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays, so you must not shave the cat casually. However, pet owners can shave off some foot hair for their cats properly to have a slight cooling effect.

4. Pay attention to ensure that the cat's diet is fresh in summer. In addition, it is hot in summer, and cats may lose appetite. It is suggested to feed cats with less food and more meals, because food is more likely to deteriorate in high temperature environment. If the leftover food of cats is not treated in time, it is likely to deteriorate and produce mold, which will pollute the environment.

Be careful not to bathe the cat often. Even in hot summer, it is not suitable for people who keep pets to bathe cats frequently, because bathing cats frequently can easily destroy the protective layer of cat skin and easily cause cat skin diseases. In addition, the warm and humid climate in summer is also easy to breed parasites, so in summer, pet owners must not neglect to deworm cats regularly.

6. At the same time, summer is also a high incidence period for cats to be infected with tinea felis. Therefore, pets mainly keep the environment at home clean, clean the house frequently and keep ventilation.

The above are the main points of nursing cats in summer summarized by Dr. Paw Paw. I hope all pet owners and their cat owners can enjoy the harsh summer.
