How are you keeping your fur babies cool in the heat?

Worried about you’re cats in the heat? Here’s some advice from vet Amanda at Cat’s Whiskers

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for cat owners to help prevent heatstroke during this heatwave.

Cats are famous for seeking sunny spots for sunbathing and although cats can tolerate the heat better than dogs and some humans can, the reality is that cats can suffer from overheating.

To help keep your cat cool during this heatwave, please ensure that fresh water is always available, place some extra water bowls around the house and garden with ice cubes in. Flavoured ice cubes may encourage your cat to drink more water, you can make tuna flavoured ice cubes by freezing the water from a can of tuna.
If your cat prefers to be outside during the day, make sure shade is available from morning to evening.
If they are indoors, use air conditioning, open windows or use a fan to cool off rooms. Placing a bottle of frozen water in front of a fan may help cool the room.
Make sure your cat’s coat has no tangles or mats (matted hair traps heat). Brush your cat regularly to remove dead hair and consider clipping a long-haired cat (contact the clinic if you need help with this).
Cats groom themselves more when it’s hot as wetting their coat with saliva helps keep themselves cool, you can help by stroking your cat with wet hands or a cool damp towel to cool their fur.
Buy a cooling mat or make your own by wrapping an ice pack in a towel and put it in their favourite sleeping spot. You can make an ice pack by freezing a water-filled plastic bottle; remember that water expands when it freezes, so don’t fill it to the top, and squeeze the air out before you freeze it.
Check sheds, greenhouses and cars before closing the door; a cat trapped inside could end up with heatstroke.
Cats can get sunburnt, particularly pale-coloured ones, with ears, noses and areas with sparse fur especially susceptible. Use sunblock suitable for pets if they’re lying outside in the sun or keep them indoors when the sun is at its strongest, between 11.00am and 3.00pm.

Some of the symptoms your cat may show if suffering from heatstroke are:
Panting/distressed breathing.
Drooling/salivating.
Agitation/restlessness.
Vomiting/diarrhoea.
Weakness/lethargy.
Confusion.
Dizziness/staggering.
Seizures.
Collapse/unconsciousness.
Heatstroke can kill cats, so you must act quickly. Your aim is to get your pet’s body temperature back to normal – but don’t use ice or very cold water as this may exacerbate the problem.
If you are concerned you cat may be suffering from heatstroke, call the clinic immediately for advice and move your cat to somewhere cool, offer water to drink, spray cool water onto your cat’s fur, use a fan or any available breeze to help your cat to cool off.

Any cat can get too hot. However, predisposing factors include:
Obesity.
Flat-faced breeds (e.g. Persians).
Long-haired breeds.
Respiratory/heart disease.
Age (very young or very old).
Excessive exercise.
Dehydration.

If you are transporting your cat to the clinic during the heatwave, we recommend you place an ice pack wrapped in a towel in the cat carrier and only transport cats in cars with air conditioning. When you arrive at the clinic, please come straight inside where it is nice and cool thanks to our air conditioning throughout the clinic.
If you are concerned about travelling with your cat during the heatwave, and the appointment is not urgent, please contact us to reschedule.
