How do you take care of a cat in the summer?

The beginning of summer has passed, and with the scorching sun, facing the upcoming hot weather, have you prepared your feline friends for the summer? Cats are more sensitive and prone to heatstroke and colds… It’s a big challenge to ensure that cats have a healthy and active summer. Let’s find out more!

How do you take care of a cat in the summer?

• Don’t confine cats on the balcony. Avoid using certain types of cat carriers when taking cats out during summer. Instead, opt for well-ventilated pet crates to prevent the cat from feeling suffocated!
• Some owners leave the air conditioning on and confine their cats in the air-conditioned room while they are at work. However, this is highly discouraged. Especially for those who shave their cat’s fur in an attempt to keep them cool, exposing a cat without protective fur to prolonged periods in an air-conditioned room can be extremely harmful. It not only leads to “air conditioning sickness” but can also disrupt their neurological functions. Avoid setting the air conditioning temperature too low. Keep the air-conditioned room clean.
• In summer, with high temperatures and humidity, bacteria proliferate quickly, making cat food more prone to spoilage. When feeding your cat in the summer, pay attention to the following: Ensure that the food given to the cat is fresh. Control the portion size of the cat’s food. Dispose of any leftover food.
• Frequently change the cat’s drinking water.

Remember, taking proper care of your cat during the summer is crucial to their well-being. Keep them cool, hydrated, and provide a safe and comfortable environment.
