Summer Cat Care Guide
1. Guaranteed Cat drinking water is clean. In the hot summer, pets should pay attention to changing the cat’s drinking water frequently, because the cat will leave some substances in the remaining drinking water in the process of drinking water, and the remaining drinking water with impurities will easily deteriorate under high temperature conditions, so in summer Pay attention to changing the cat’s drinking water more frequently to prevent cats from drinking spoiled drinking water, and also to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. If conditions permit, you can configure a cat-specific drinking fountain for cats to ensure that their drinking water is clean.
2. Cool the cat in time. The high temperature in summer is easy to breed bacteria. If the temperature is too high, the pet owner needs to take cooling measures in time to help the cat cool down. On the one hand, it reduces the breeding of bacteria and reduces the probability of the cat getting sick; If necessary, the pet owner can cool down by using air-conditioning, but also pay attention not to set the temperature of the air conditioner too low, it is best to maintain the room temperature at 26~28 degrees, and pay attention to avoid the cat blowing the cold air directly, which will cause the cat to catch a cold.
3. Avoid shaving cats. Many pet owners are afraid that the cat is too hot, so they shave the cat to cool down, but they don’t know that this is an extremely wrong approach.

However, the pet owner can shave some of the cat’s foot hair properly, so as to have a slight cooling effect.
4. In summer, pay attention to ensure that the cat’s diet is fresh. In addition, cats may reduce their appetite due to high temperature in summer, so it is recommended to feed cats with small meals and frequent meals, because food is more likely to deteriorate in a high temperature environment, and if the cat’s leftover food is not processed in time, Then the residual food is likely to spoil and produce mold and pollute the environment.
5. Be careful not to bathe the cat frequently. Even in the hot summer, pet owners are not suitable for frequent bathing of cats, because frequent bathing of cats can easily damage the protective layer of the cat’s skin and easily cause cat skin diseases. In addition, the warm and humid climate in summer is also prone to breeding parasites, so in summer, pet owners must not neglect to deworm cats regularly.
6. At the same time, summer is also a high incidence period for cats to be infected with ringworm, so pets focus on keeping the environment at home clean, cleaning the home frequently, and maintaining ventilation.
