The reasons why cat cages are covered with cloth are as follows:

1. Block the cat’s sight and interfere with the cat’s perception of the outside world. When the cat is in the cage, the shaking of the cage can easily scare the cat. Cover the cage with a cloth so that the cat cannot see the outside environment and will not feel scared.

2. Cats are very afraid of heat, especially in summer, and are very prone to heatstroke. Covering the cage with a cloth to block out sunlight can help them avoid the heat.

3. When the owner is resting, covering the cage will help active cats quickly enter a resting state.

4. Cats sometimes have too much energy. Covering the cage can also achieve the purpose of sound insulation.

What to do if a cat suffers from heat stroke:

1. Move the cat to a cool place. If your cat suffers from heat stroke outdoors, you need to move the cat to a cool and ventilated place in time. If your cat suffers from heat stroke indoors, you need to immediately open the windows to ventilate the room or turn on the air conditioner.

2. Wipe the cat’s paws with alcohol. Because cats can only dissipate heat through their paws and breathing, wipe the cat's paws with alcohol after heatstroke, which can quickly and effectively cool down the cat.

3. Use ice packs or wet towels to cool down the cat’s body. It is recommended to wrap the cat's whole body with a wet towel, or wrap ice cubes in a towel, and place them on the cat's head and neck, armpits, and inner thighs to help the cat's body temperature drop to below 39°C. It should be noted that the cat's body temperature should be monitored at all times when cooling the cat, otherwise it will cause hypothermia due to excessive cooling. The cat's rectal temperature is the main basis.

4. Let the cat drink more water. If your cat doesn’t like to drink water, you can soak the cat food in water before feeding it to the cat, which can also increase water intake.

5. Take the cat to the pet hospital for medical treatment in time. After emergency treatment and after the cat has recovered, it is recommended that you take the cat to the pet hospital for a check-up. Especially when a cat shows symptoms of dehydration, it is best to go to the pet hospital in time to rehydrate the cat. If the cat suffers from severe heat stroke, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately.
