In extremely hot weather, cats are very likely to die from heat. Cats have no sweat glands on their bodies and cannot dissipate heat through perspiration. Moreover, their bodies are covered with thick hair and they only dissipate heat through their footpads and tongues.
Generally, when the indoor temperature exceeds 30 degrees, cats will have thermal reactions, such as panting, frequent drinking, rapid heartbeat, and reluctance to move. If the temperature is not cooled down in time, the cat will , then it is likely to develop into heat stroke.
If the cat suffers from heatstroke, the owner needs to move the cat to a cool location and use a wet towel to wipe the cat's body to cool it down. In severe cases, it is best to go to a pet hospital for treatment in time. Therefore, it is also recommended that owners should not leave their cats alone in the room during the hot summer. If they really need to go out, it is best to prepare enough drinking water for them and turn on the fan or air conditioner.
