In general, we will divide cats into long-haired cats and short-haired cats, but whether they are long-haired or short-haired cats, they will be afraid of heat in the summer, and if you have a long-haired cat at home, it will be more afraid of heat than a short-haired cat. Although cats are very cold, but we as a caring owner, must let the cat as comfortable as possible, said the cat will therefore love you more.
Why do we say that cats are afraid of heat in summer? This is mainly because cats are an animal without sweat glands, and their body surface heat dissipation ability is very, very poor, so when it is particularly hot, we find our own cats will use their tongues to lick their cats to achieve the purpose of cooling by evaporating water. Although cats are very smart and can instinctively use this method to cool down, this cooling method is actually not very useful.
As owners, after knowing that cats are afraid of heat in summer, it is necessary for us to know some good ways to help cats cool down from the heat. First of all, we need to move the cat’s home without the sun, but when finding a new home for the cat, we must pay attention to ventilation, only in this way, the cat will like their new home more quickly. Secondly, because cats can feel very hot in summer, we should pay attention to providing more fresh water when feeding, so that when cats feel hot, they can cool down only by drinking water. Finally, if we have a long-haired cat, then it is best to thin the cat’s hair in the summer, do not try to save money and directly shave the cat’s cat, which will instead make the cat more afraid of heat.
Because cats are afraid of heat in summer, we as owners should not take our cats out in the middle of the day or when the weather is hot, and the best time to walk them is in the early morning or after the sun goes down. If you feed a cat that is extra afraid of heat in the summer, you can also buy an ice pad for your cat and put it directly into the cat’s sleeping place, so the cat will feel very comfortable when it sleeps.
