Cats

When it comes to cat owners in summer, the first reaction is that it is so hot in summer. Your cat owners must not suffer from heat stroke. Therefore, all the means of preventing heatstroke and cooling that humans can use are also used on their own cats. All kinds of cold drinks and air conditioners are welcome, but in summer, you can’t just think about preventing heatstroke and cooling down. Diseases that are too greedy for coolness will also come to your doorstep. This time we are talking about air conditioning disease. Yes, in addition to people, cats can also suffer from air-conditioning disease. It is also important to prevent heatstroke in cats and prevent air-conditioning disease at the same time!

　1. The air-conditioning temperature must be appropriate First of all, we must be clear Don't leave your cat in an air-conditioned room when you are not at home. Secondly, the temperature of the air conditioner is really critical. Generally, 27 degrees is enough. Don’t let it go any lower. If the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, the cat will enter the air conditioner from the outside and it will be difficult to adjust its body functions, so try not to let the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor exceed 7 degrees. Another thing to note is that you should never let the cold air from the air conditioner blow directly at your cat. Its body cannot withstand such intensity of cold air. 2. Pay attention to the air-conditioning time Some owners are afraid of heating their cats, so they leave their cats in the air-conditioned room all day long when they go out. These practices are not advisable. When the owner is at work, the cat should be placed in a cool and ventilated place so that they can enjoy the natural wind. Moreover, the circulating air is also good for the cat's body. Even if the cat stays in an air-conditioned room, it should be turned off after 1-3 hours, and then the windows should be opened to exhaust the indoor air so that fresh outdoor air can enter for air exchange. 3. Keep the air-conditioned room clean Since the air-conditioned room is dry and has a suitable temperature, it provides a suitable living environment for germs and viruses. Therefore, if you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, a lot of bacteria will accumulate in the body. , thereby causing disease. Moreover, the air flow direction in air-conditioned rooms often changes, which weakens the cat's response to germs, allergens and odors in the air, so the cat's own resistance to bacteria has also decreased. Therefore, the air-conditioned room must be kept clean so that harmful bacteria and viruses will not breed and the possibility of cats absorbing harmful germs will be reduced. At the same time, it is best to use an air humidifier to prevent the cold wind from damaging the mucous membranes of the cat's nose and eyes due to too dry air-conditioned rooms. 4. Provide adequate drinking water Although cats don’t like drinking water, hydration is really important in summer. Cats can eliminate toxins from the body through drinking water and urinating. Therefore, even if the cat does not feel hot in an air-conditioned room, the cat should drink a lot of water and let the cat urinate more to eliminate toxins from the body. You can also drink some mung bean soup that clears away heat and detoxifies, but it must be in moderation. Cats cannot eat too much highly alkaline food. In the hot summer, don’t be greedy for coolness. Let us work with cat owners to prevent air-conditioning diseases.
