A cat’s body temperature of 39.4 is normal. Generally speaking, a cat’s body temperature is between 38 and 39.5, which is a little higher than human body temperature. A cat's body temperature will rise by about 1 degree after strenuous exercise. You can touch the cat's ears, which are cool under normal circumstances. You can observe the cat's mental and appetite status on a daily basis. If the performance is abnormal, it means there is something wrong with the cat.

Care methods for cats with fever:

1. Replenish water in time. When a cat has a fever, the water in its body will be lost rapidly and it needs to be replenished in time. You can use a tool to pour warm water into the cat's mouth.

2. Physical cooling. We can use ice to cool down the cat, or we can use alcohol to wipe the cat's foot pads and ears to cool down.

3. Send to hospital for treatment. If a cat has a high fever and some home treatments don't work, it needs to be sent to a pet hospital for professional treatment in time.
