What if the cat is too hot in summer?
1 and 22℃~25 are the most comfortable temperature ranges for cats.
Because the cat's body temperature is several degrees higher than that of the human body, the temperature that the cat thinks is suitable will naturally be higher than that that the human body thinks is suitable. Under normal circumstances, the suitable temperature for our human body is 18℃~24℃. When the air conditioner is turned on in summer, we usually set it in this temperature range and then cover it with a thin quilt, which is very comfortable. The suitable temperature for a cat's body is 22℃~25℃, which is its most comfortable and favorite temperature, but it can fall asleep anytime and anywhere when it is comfortable.
The temperature range from 2.28℃ to 30℃ will be a little hot for cats.
If our pet cat likes to lie on the floor at this time, it will use the temperature of the floor to dissipate heat. Because the sweat glands of cats are underdeveloped, they can only rely on their tongues and soles to dissipate heat. Therefore, in the case of high temperature in summer, cats are prone to heatstroke, and cats can cool down by increasing the amount of drinking water. Therefore, once summer comes, shovel officials should prepare more water for cats to drink, and pay special attention to the amount of water that cats drink.
3, 32 C ~ 35 C For humans, this temperature range is already very hot, and cats are no exception.
If our own cats are better, cat stars can lie on the cool tiles at home to enjoy the cool air or rub the wind of the electric fan from time to time to cool themselves down. But if it is a stray cat outside, it will be very difficult, and it may get heatstroke. The temperature is low in the morning and evening, and stray cats can still calm down. If the temperature rises during the day, especially at noon, and the ground is very hot, stray cats can only hide in the shade for the summer, or hide in wet and dangerous areas. And once the temperature is too high in summer, the cat's temper will become violent.
4. It is a hot summer for cats to reach this temperature from 38℃ to 40℃.
When the cat feels hot, it will stay in the shade as much as possible to reduce the consumption of its own ability and keep its body temperature. I will continue to look for cool places, especially near fans and air-conditioned rooms. At this time, parents should pay attention. Although it is very hot, for the sake of the cat's health, the temperature must be adjusted to above 28 degrees when you are around the cat, and you can't let the cat stay in the air-conditioned room for too long, otherwise it may cause the cat to get air-conditioned and catch a cold easily. Then you should replenish water in time. In summer, cats are prone to dehydration, so it is especially important for them to drink more water.
Second, the performance of cat fever
1, stick out your tongue
Most of the sweat glands of cats are on the soles of their feet, but if the temperature is too high and cats feel very hot, they will spit out pink small tongue frequently to dissipate heat by sticking out their tongues, which will make cats feel much cooler.
Step 2 get on the ground
In hot weather, cats will stretch their limbs and lie on the ground for a long time. Sticking the belly to the floor should be the cat's favorite way to dissipate heat.
Step 3 increase the amount of drinking water
Usually, many cats don't like drinking water, but too high temperature will lead to water loss in cats and will consciously replenish water. If the owner sees that the cat often drinks water, and the amount of water increases, it means that its body temperature is very high, which has exceeded the range that the cat can bear. The owner should take measures to cool the cat properly.
Third, how to avoid cat heatstroke
1, add more water to the cat.
You can prepare a few pots of water and put them in the area where cats usually eat. You will consciously drink water when you feel hot. Don't make it thirsty, help the cat cool down and prevent dehydration.
2. Clean the floor.
When the weather is hot, cats will like to lie on the ground. The owner had better clean the floor and let it lie on the ground safely to dissipate heat.
3. Suitable fans and air conditioners.
The temperature at which cats blow air conditioners should not be too low. It is advisable to adjust it to 28 degrees. At the same time, you can't let it blow the air conditioner for too long. Don't let cats get into the habit of blowing air conditioners to prevent them from getting air conditioning disease. One cold and one hot will cause heatstroke or catch a cold, and so will blowing a fan.
Fourth, the precautions for cooling the cat
1, carefully shave the cat.
Some owners may want to shave their cats to cool down when they see that they are too hot, but they still advise their owners not to do so because many cats are very resistant to shaving. If the owner shaves them rashly, they may be scratched by their beloved cats, which may also lead to cat depression. Because cats are beautiful animals, shaving will hurt their hearts and may make them depressed for a long time. Actually, the owner doesn't have to do this. Cats shed their hair and dissipate heat in hot summer.
2. Prevent parasitic infection in cats.
In addition to the high temperature in summer, it will make cats feel hot, or it is easy to breed germs and infect parasites. In summer, there are many lice and fleas, so it is difficult for cats not to be affected by them, and they may be infected if they are not careful. Therefore, the hotter the weather, the more the owner should pay attention to the cleanliness of the cat. Even if you regularly deworm cats, you should limit the cat's activity area. Don't let them play in some dirty places, and don't let them come into contact with pets that have been infected with parasites when they go out. Brush your cat often. If parasites are found on your body, remove them as soon as possible when they are not serious. You can buy skin spray and Fuante ointment according to the instructions to effectively repel.
3. Adjust your diet and drink plenty of water.
When it is hot in summer, the cat's appetite may also decrease. Pet owners can try to make them some light food, such as vegetable porridge. If the cat doesn't like it, it's hard to adapt, and there's no need to make any special changes, so the owner had better consider his cat's tastes and habits first. However, when the weather is hot, cats are likely to lose too much water and feel thirsty. The owner must prepare enough water for him to drink when he is thirsty.
Above, Dr. Paw Paw shared the measures and precautions for cooling cats in hot summer. I hope my friend's cat will not be troubled by the high temperature in summer.
