Everyone knows that cats like to sleep on the radiator, but not everyone knows that this is harmful to the animal’s body.

We explain why you shouldn’t let your cat sleep on a radiator.

Why is it harmful for cats to sleep on a radiator?

Because of their fur, cats don't feel intense heat, so it may take a long time before your pet realizes that it's overheated.

First of all, heat is harmful to the cat's skin and hair.

Constantly sitting on a hot radiator can cause a cat to lose fur.

Heat is also harmful to the cat's internal organs. Constant overheating is fraught with inflammation and various diseases.

If you can’t wean your cat off sitting on the radiator, lay a blanket on the radiator or attach a hammock.
