In summer, cats may suffer from heatstroke and summer fatigue syndrome. A comfortable temperature for cats is approximately 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, with humidity between 50% and 60%. When owners are out, they can create cool spots in the house and leave doors open with doorstops, allowing the cat to move freely according to its physical condition. As we can see, a comfortable temperature for humans might be too cold for cats! Be careful that they don't get too cold, as this can lead to loss of appetite and diarrhea.

Turn on the air conditioner in the hot summer.

Place the bed and blankets in a location where they won't be directly exposed to drafts. This way, your cat can move to a warmer spot if it feels too cold. When your cat enters an air-conditioned room, observe whether it stays on the cool floor (meaning it's hot) or on the warm blanket (meaning it's cold). You can adjust the temperature to your cat's comfort level by observing them. Using a cooling pad is also a good option!

Avoid direct sunlight

Using curtains and Japanese-style blinds to block sunlight can prevent the room temperature from rising. When opening windows for ventilation, be careful to prevent your cat from running away.

Cat supplies should be kept clean.

This is a time when food oxidation and flea and tick infestations are common. Therefore, it's essential to regularly wash the cat's food, clean the room, and air out the cat's belongings to prevent insect infestation and maintain a clean environment. Additionally, if your cat enjoys the cool feel of tiles and wants to stay in the bathroom, always drain the bathtub first to prevent drowning accidents.

Finally, the cat litter box and litter box should also be cleaned and disinfected in the sun frequently.
