Whether your cat is a sun bather or a sun shader there are a few things we can do to help them feel more comfortable on these rather warm days we are experiencing currently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cats will naturally seek out a cool spot to prevent overheating but with temperatures hitting 30 degrees and more our feline friends could all do with a little helping hand (paw).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beat the heat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure your garden has plenty of shaded areas<\/strong> for them to hide in. Large potted plants, shrubs, trees and even cardboard boxes will encourage your cat to seek the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place fans around your home but have them so they aren\u2019t set directly on your cat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freeze a bottle of water and wrap it in a towel placing it near to where your cat spends its time relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep on top of grooming<\/strong>. Excess hair traps heat so its really important to make sure your cat is groomed daily to help him feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is your cat drinking enough water?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cats can be fussy when it comes to drinking water \u2026yet we\u2019ve all seen them drink out of a puddle or the bird bath leaving their pristine water bowl inside and full! Cats can however be encouraged to drink more water by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using a large bowl with a large surface area<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoid using plastic bowls for water instead stick to ceramic, glass or metal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep the water levels topped up so your cat doesn\u2019t have to put his head too far into the water bowl<\/p>\n\n\n\n
