Helping keep your feline friends cool Cool for cats As we head into the year’s warmest months, we need to be making a conscious effort to help our feline friends (in their fur coats, of course!) cool. Unlike us, cats only have sweat glands in their paws and around their nose which makes it difficult for them to regulate their temperature – this can lead to overheating and heat stroke on hot days. Tips to help keep your cat cool Make sure they have cool shaded areas to relax in and plenty of fresh cool water available – a fresh water fountain will help provide refreshing water for your cat. Keep your house cool and if you travel with your feline friend, never leave them in a hot car. Heat stroke in cats All cats can suffer from

How to cool your cat down Never immerse your cat in very cold water as this can lead to shock. The best way to cool your cat is by temporarily placing cool wet towels across their body and/or positioning them next to a fan. Allow your cat small amounts of water to drink and continue to cool them until their breathing starts to settle. Wet towels should not be left on for more than ten to fifteen minutes, otherwise they can start to heat them up rather than cool them down. Take them to the vet immediately for further treatment.
Do not, under any circumstances, leave your cat unattended in a car during a hot day.
