How to help your pet survive high temperatures.
Not only humans but also animals suffer from hot weather. However, not every cat owner understands whether their pet is suffering in the current moment or not.
Knowledge of the signs will help you understand the situation.
Rapid breathing
If you notice that your pet is breathing faster and harder than usual, it is most likely due to the influence of hot weather.
When cats feel hot, they may start breathing with an open mouth.
Lethargic state
Elevated temperature can affect the behavior of the animal. It may appear lazy, indifferent, and tired.
Loss of appetite
A pet that feels discomfort from the heat may refuse food and prefer plain water instead.
Frequent licking of paws
In hot weather, a cat may frequently lick its paws, trying to cool down through the evaporation of saliva.
All these signs may indicate that your pet is suffering from the heat. Provide them with access to clean water, do not leave them in the car, and occasionally dampen their fur with a small amount of cool water – then everything will be fine!
