What should I do if my cat has a cold and a fever? Although cats have a cold and a fever, it is a very common thing. It requires the owner to observe carefully when raising the cat. It must be discovered early, because minor illnesses are easy to treat, but if they are delayed for a long time, they will become more serious.

1. The normal body temperature of cats is slightly higher than that of humans, generally maintained at 38-39 degrees Celsius. This is why people feel warmer when they hold a cat in their arms. The standard and correct way to take a cat's temperature is at the anus. But if the cat struggles strongly and objects, you can also measure it under its armpits or at the base of its hind legs. Choose a fixed place to measure to understand the cat's body temperature in a healthy state.

　2. And when a cat has a fever, even the tip of its tail and ears, which are usually cold, will become hot, and it will collapse on the cold floor exhausted. At this time, even without taking the temperature, you can see that it has a fever. If the cat's body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it should be sent to the hospital immediately. This may be a bacterial infection caused by the cat's imperfect immunity, or an infectious disease such as Toxoplasma.

3. Don’t be careless when your cat has a fever. As a parent, you should take your cat to the doctor in time. Even minor illnesses must be treated as early as possible so that the cat can recover. When raising a cat, ensuring its health is the most basic requirement. As a parent, you must pay special attention to it.
