The normal body temperature of cats is 38-39.5°C, which is higher than human body temperature. If you feel that your cat has a fever, you can judge whether the cat has a fever by touching the nose, ears, and the hairless area on the abdomen. These parts are the most obvious.

Which part of a cat’s fever is most obvious when touched

When a cat has a fever, you can touch the base of the cat’s ears to feel the cat’s body temperature. The normal body temperature of a cat is generally around 38 to 39 degrees. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of a cat's ears is generally lower than the body temperature and is relatively cold to the touch. If you suspect that your cat has a fever, you can make a rough judgment by feeling the temperature of the cat's ears. A high temperature indicates that the cat may have a fever. You can also judge whether the cat has a fever by touching the cat's nose.

Under healthy conditions, a cat’s nose is relatively moist and cool. When a cat is sick, if you touch the cat’s nose, you will feel hot and dry, indicating that the cat may have a fever. A thermometer at home can be placed inside the cat's anus for one minute to check the rectal temperature. When the temperature exceeds 39.5 degrees Celsius, it means that the cat's body temperature has increased. If the body temperature remains high and does not come down, you need to consider taking it to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
