'The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and my cat's sleeping position is getting wilder'

After raising cats, I have discovered more and more a little secret about cats: the degree of cat hair loss will vary with the change of seasons and temperatures.

Cat sleeping habits, sleeping posture, and even the choice of sleeping position are also closely related to the season and temperature.

Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In the northern city where I live, the daily maximum temperature is almost close to 30 degrees; and the recent state of my cat has obviously become "wilted", like it is about to wither from the sun Grass.

Even though I was teasing the cat, as I always did, the cat didn't take much interest.

Not only that, the cat's sleeping position has also begun to become strange.

What are the changes in the sleeping position and position of cats?

First: prefer to sleep in a shady place

If it is said that in winter, the cat just wants to hide in the quilt, in the closet, and hides in the thick cat litter and is unwilling to come out; then in this season, the cat is more willing to lie on the ground and sleep; if the cat does not sleep in the On the living room floor, and sometimes go to the bathroom.

Either sleep in the toilet or in the sink. In short, cats have an inexplicable favor in places that can make cats feel cool.

I have 3 cats in my house, including 1 longhair cat.

Before the weather gets hot, that long-haired cat loves to be clingy and to be by my side. No matter where I am, it will jump into my arms to sleep.

But as the temperature rose, the cat just lay far away on the floor not far from me.

I still remember one time when it was so hot that I forgot to turn on the air conditioner; when I got home, the cat was so hot that it foamed in its mouth.

Had I come home a little later, it might have had a heat stroke.

Some people say: cats like high temperature and can endure high temperature seasons; in fact, cats have a limit to adapt to temperature.

The temperature that does not exceed 39 degrees is what the cat can tolerate; once the indoor temperature exceeds 39 degrees, the cat will also feel hot.

Second: the sleeping position is "more wild"

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, how wild can cats sleep?

They have changed their quiet and well-behaved sleeping postures, but instead turned into rough ones; lying on the ground with their four feet upside down, or lying on the ground with their four feet facing the ground, they use their belly to directly contact the ground to dissipate heat and let their body Lower the temperature a bit.

You will find that cats who like to sleep on the sofa and bed on weekdays like to hide in various shady corners to sleep.

Moreover, when the cat sleeps, it will stretch out its entire body as much as possible to allow itself to be in contact with the air as much as possible to effectively dissipate its own heat.

When cats feel cold, they tend to curl up to keep their bodies warm while sleeping.

However, as summer enters and the temperature gets higher and higher, cats begin to change their sleeping positions.

First: pay attention to adjust the temperature of your home

As I mentioned above, the average temperature of a cat's body is about 37-39 degrees, so when the indoor temperature exceeds 39 degrees, the cat will have signs of heat stroke.

The cat's favorite temperature range is about 18-21 degrees, in a lukewarm environment.

In this temperature range, cats can release their most lively side and fully show their energetic side.

Therefore, when the weather is hot, the shovel officer should pay attention to the temperature conditions in the home.

Second: clean the ground more, the hot weather increases the number of times the cat takes a bath

The purpose of cleaning the floor more is to make the cat have a better sleeping environment. When the weather is hot, the cat always likes to sleep on the floor. Moreover, the main way for the cat to dissipate heat is when the soles of the feet are in contact with the ground.

Cats are different from dogs. Dogs can dissipate heat by sticking out their tongues and breathing in large mouths, but cats do not have the effect of dissipating heat.

When the weather is hot, you can bathe the cat once a month and a half to clean up the excessive hair on the cat.

Third: You can properly trim the cat's hair

For the long-haired cats in my house, I will trim the cat's hair when it is hot; the main thing is to control their hair to a suitable thickness so that it is not too hot.

When the weather is hot, the cat's hair will shed a lot; a lot of hair loss means that the hair grows faster.

Therefore, trimming the cat's hair properly can also make the cat adapt to the hot weather faster; remember, don't cut all of it, otherwise, it will hurt the cat's skin.

Where does your cat like to sleep when it's hot?
