Generally, we classify cats into long-haired cats and short-haired cats, but regardless of whether they are long-haired or short-haired, they are afraid of heat in summer. Moreover, if your cat is long-haired, it will be more sensitive to heat than short-haired cats. Although cats are very aloof, as caring owners, we must try our best to make cats comfortable, and surely, the cats will love you more because of this.

Why do we say cats are afraid of heat in summer? This is mainly because cats are animals without sweat glands, and their ability to dissipate heat through their body surface is very poor. So when it is especially hot, we find that our cats use their tongues to lick themselves, cooling down by evaporating moisture. Although cats are very smart and can instinctively use this method to cool down, the effectiveness of this cooling method is actually quite limited.

As owners, after knowing cats fear heat in summer, we need to know some good ways to help cats relieve the heat. First, we need to move the cat's home to a place without sunlight, but when looking for a new home, we must pay attention to ventilation; only in this way will the cat quickly like its new home. Second, because cats feel very hot in summer, we should pay attention to providing more fresh water during feeding, so when cats feel hot, they can cool down by drinking water. Finally, if we raise long-haired cats, it is best to thin their fur in summer. Do not take the easy way and shave the cat directly, as this will make the cat more afraid of heat.

Because cats are very afraid of heat in summer, as owners, we should not take cats out at noon or during stuffy weather. The best times to walk cats are early in the morning or after sunset. If your cat is especially afraid of the heat in summer, you can also buy an ice mat for the cat and place it where the cat sleeps, so the cat will feel very comfortable while sleeping.
