HOW TO KEEP CATS COOL DURING THE SUMMER HEAT: hot weather pet care tips, prevent cat heatstroke
During the summertime, it’s important to keep your furry friends cool! Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow and his mom, La Carmina, share tips for beating the heat.
1) Leave several bowls of cool water around the house. Replenish often.
2) Groom your pets regularly: shaving or brushing.
3) Wipe down your cat’s body with a cool, wet towel.
4) Keep your house well-ventilated, but go easy on the AC and fans.
5) Lick the occasional spoonful of organic, plain yogurt.
6) Ensure there are cool areas for your pets to rest.
- Remember… a cool cat is a happy cat!

This summer my cat was having a really hard time with the heat. I read online that cats cool down through their stomach and chest, hence the sitting on plastic bags. My cat was panting like crazy and not really drinking, so I followed the advice in this article and put down a cool wet towel on the floor, then lay him out so the surface of his chest was against the towel. It worked really well. The only thing is you don’t want to have the towel too cold or the shock can cause cardiac arrest!
