The body temperature of cats is influenced by various factors.

These may include the age of the animal, the conditions in which it is kept, the level of stress it experiences, etc.

On average, the body temperature of an adult cat is within normal limits and is approximately 38.6 ± 0.5 degrees Celsius.
