Normally, a cat’s ears are cooler. The reason is that a cat’s ears are generally at the end of blood circulation, and the temperature is lower than other parts of the body. The normal body temperature of a cat is 38-39.2°C. If you find that the cat’s ears are too cool or overheated, you can measure the cat’s body temperature. If the measurement result is within this range, it is normal. If the cat's body temperature drops, measures should be taken to keep the cat warm, and then taken to the pet hospital for treatment in a timely manner. If your cat's ears are overheated, the weather may be hot, or they may be sick, possibly caused by ear mites and bacterial infections. At this time, we can touch its stomach and armpits to determine whether the cat has a fever. A fever will cause the whole body to heat up, not just the ears.
