Cats with burned ears may be in good spirits. This may be due to a temporary increase in body temperature caused by excessive ambient temperature, stress response, or estrus. This situation is relatively normal. It is generally recommended that owners focus on investigation. As long as the cat's other physical indicators are normal, the owner does not need to worry about the cat's health. However, if other abnormal symptoms are found, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

1. The ambient temperature is too high

Because cats’ sweat glands are underdeveloped and their heat dissipation ability is poor, when the ambient temperature is too high, it will easily cause the cat’s surface temperature to rise and cause hot ears. This situation is normal. The owner does not need to worry too much. He can take the cat to a cool and ventilated place to rest and give him an appropriate amount of water. Generally, the cat will return to normal after resting for a period of time.

2. Stress response

After cats are frightened, they will enter a state of stress. At this time, their heartbeats will accelerate, and the speed of blood flow will also accelerate. In addition, cats’ ears are covered with abundant blood vessels, so When the blood flow rate accelerates, the temperature of the cat's ears will quickly increase. At this time, the owner should pay attention to observation. If the cat does not show any other abnormality, there is no need to pay too much attention. However, under normal circumstances, try not to scare the cat, because the cat's life span will be shortened under stress.

3. Estrus

When a cat is in estrus, physiological irritability will also cause the ears to become hot, and the cat will also urinate indiscriminately, howl, etc. This is also a normal phenomenon, and owners do not need to worry too much. If there is no need for reproduction, they can take the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery at a staggered time of estrus.
