Cats are afraid of heat in summer. Compared with humans, cats have fewer sweat glands, which are mainly concentrated around their paw pads and noses. This means that their ability to regulate body temperature in high temperatures is relatively weak. When the ambient temperature is too high, cats may feel uncomfortable and even experience symptoms of heatstroke, such as shortness of breath, drooling, and lack of energy.

In addition, summer is also a period of high incidence of cat skin diseases and parasitic infections. To prevent cats from scratching their skin excessively due to heat, groom them regularly and check for signs of skin disease or parasites. If you find any abnormality, you should take your cat to the veterinarian in time.
