island life l home help COOL FOR CATS... A cat that becomes overheated in hot weather can suffer from dehydration, shallow breathing, and can even get heatstroke. Keeping your cat cool is an important part of ensuring that he/she stays happy, especially if there's a heat wave....and we all know ourselves what those feel like on the islands! KEEP YOUR CAT CALM A cat that is running about too much during a really hot day or during a heatwave will soon become exhausted and dehydrated. Encourage it to calm down by providing a relaxed, indoor place that is both cool and darkened (see the next step). Do not initiate play when it is in an agitated state; you may need to sit with it, for a bit, to help it self-calm. CREATE A RETREAT This is a place where your cat can retreat to and relax and feel safe. It is simple to make – place a cardboard box on its side and put it somewhere that is quiet and out of the way such as in a closet, behind a chair, or near a cool spot in the house. Line it with a terry towel or other cotton, breathable natural fabric that is not too warm. Stick an ice pack inside a sock and place it into the snug retreat underneath the towel for added cooling effect. Another good idea is to place towels or sheets over the spots the cat usually likes to sit, to create a cool barrier between their fur and the normally warmer surfaces. ENSURE THAT YOUR GARDEN OR YARD HAS SOME SHADY SPOTS FOR YOUR CAT TO ENjOY It will find them readily enough, provided you supply them. If your plants are too young to throw enough shade yet, or you do not have a garden, at least set up some shadecloth over a comfortable spot under 102 samui phangan real estate
which your cat can lie; choose somewhere that gets a gentle breeze. Water should always be easily accessible and available in the outside area, as well as indoors. ALLOW YOUR CAT TO CHOOSE A COOL SPOT Cats are smart about comfort at all times, including during an intensely hot day. Cats love to curl up in the bathtub or sink because porcelain stays cool even when it is hot outside. They will also prefer tiled areas of the house, such as the bathroom, laundry, and kitchen. Some cats will even find the freezer and flop themselves over it. Do not reprimand your cat for picking the coolest spot in the house – be grateful that it is working out how to cool down using its own initiative. GOOD TIME FOR A BATH MAYBE? Cool your cat down with dampened towels. Most cats do not like getting wet, but you can at least help cool their fur down, a little, with dampened towels. Simply dampen a cloth or paper towel and gently stroke your cat with the cloth or towel from the top of its head and down the back. Do this a couple of times a day if it is very hot. The places where cats get the warmest are their bellies, the pads on their paws, their armpits, under their chins, and on the outside of their ears. Concentrate on keeping these spots cool. BRUSH YOUR CAT DAILY Matted fur traps heat; ensuring that the fur is not matted and allows air to flow freely through it will help to keep your cat cool. This is especially important for long-haired breeds of cats. Avoid shaving your cat to the skin as this will expose your cat to the sun and can result in sunburn and risks skin cancer. PROVIDE ACCESS TO A GOOD, CONSTANT SUPPLY OF WATER FOR HYDRATION Dehydration is a real risk for cats during the heat of summer, so constant access to water is essential. Fill the water bowl and check that it is always filled during hot weather (indeed, a cat should have access to clean water at all times of the year).
