Here’s one for the cats 🐈

Yesterday we posted about heatstroke in dogs, so today we mention tips for keeping your cat cool 🐱❄️

💧Make sure there is plenty of fresh water available both inside and outside of the house. Try offering water in different types of containers to see what your cat's preference is.

🌳Make sure there are plenty of shaded areas outside. Garden furniture, large plant pots, trees and bushes all provide good shade.

📦Cardboard boxes also provide shade and can be left upturned with an extrance and exit cut out for your cat to use.

❄️Place cooling mats in beds and areas where your cat might like to sleep, these are available in most pet shops, online and some bigger hardware stores.

💧Make some tuna water (not brine) or chicken broth (no added salt) ice lollies for your cat to lick or place some ice cubes made the same way in your cats water to keep it cool and encourage him or her to drink.

🌞Keep your cat out of conservatories and out of the midday sun where possible.

🐾 Be especially careful with the older cats who may be less able to move easily to cooler areas of the house or garden

🐈Long haired cats are particularly susceptible to overheating , so should be monitored for heat exaughstion and given access to cool areas to rest out of the sun.

🐈Make sure white cats or those with pink skin on their ears or nose are kept out of the sun or use pet friendly sun block as they are more prone to sun burn.

🐈Reduce playtime, especially with kittens as they will be more likely to overheat.

⚠️If your cats live in a a multi-cat household make sure they all have easy access to their own water and shaded areas, ideally one per cat plus a spare

I hope your all keeping well it’s my yearly post for heat stroke folks
It’s going to get warm so take care with your pets in the heat
Provide shade, plenty of fresh water, avoid hot pavements on your walks and try and walk morning or evening when it’s not so warm.
Place hutches in the shade and keep a closer eye on your older pets 🐾
