How to Help Your Cat in Hot Weather: Give Your Pets a Little Attention

22.04.2024 17:18

Cats love warmth and are ready to bask in the sun's rays all day long, unless the weather is hot.

In hot, stuffy city apartments, cats often go into the bathroom for the whole day, where sunlight does not penetrate. But this does not mean that the problem is solved.

Overheating in a cat

Experts advise paying attention to the pet's behavior in hot weather. Overheating is indicated by a decrease in the animal's activity.

If your pet has heart problems, is overweight, is over 6 years old, or is a long-haired breed, the problem may worsen.

How to help your pet

If the body temperature drops, you need to warm the cat up or cool it down if it rises.

A blanket or a cooling compress applied to the paws will help. If the pulse rate drops and vomiting occurs, you should contact a veterinarian.

Prevention

You can avoid problems by providing your pet with access to clean, fresh water and changing it regularly.

Animal grooming can only be done after consultation with a specialist.
