The summer is hot, and when we are sweating profusely and busy looking for air conditioners and ice cream, our furry roommate, the cat, is also experiencing the test of "hot" love. Although they don’t say “hot”, they will tell you with a series of behaviors: “Tait shoveler, help me quickly, I’m so hot!”

Today, we will take a look at the 8 behaviors of cats when they feel hot. Tips shovelers must know and help the cats cool down in time!

1. "Stretching exercise" becomes "spread cake mode"

The usually elegant cat becomes a "spread cake" expert in summer. They will spread their limbs as much as possible and lie on the cool ground, as if saying, "Look at me, I am just a hot cat cake that needs heat dissipation!" At this time, you might as well prepare a cool pad for it to help it.

2. Breathing is accelerated, like when cats are doing cat yoga, the cat will breathe rapidly, the mouth slightly opens, and breathe. This is not a cute look, but a heat dissipation! Cats lower their body temperature through their oral breathing, which is the first obvious sign that they feel the heat.

3. My saliva is almost flowing out, not greed, but it’s really hot!

Cats do not pant and stick out their tongues like dogs, but when they are extremely hot, a little saliva may appear on the corners of their mouths. This is not because I see delicious food, but because my body is trying to cool down. Remember to provide it with plenty of water to keep the moisture balanced.

4. Hiding and seeking, looking for the coolest hiding place

In hot weather, cats will become more fond of hiding than usual, looking for the coolest corners of the home, such as the bathroom, the corners of the shaded wardrobe, and even next to the refrigerator. Leave them these summer resorts and let them choose freely.

5. Your eyes are blurred and you are too lazy? In fact, it's because it's hot

If your cat looks confused and is more lazy than usual, it may not be cute, but because it's hot and tired. Pay attention to observation, adjust the ambient temperature in time, and maintain a suitable living space.

6. Lick the hair and cool down self

The cat begins to lick its own hair frequently, especially its paws. This is not only for cleaning, but also for "artificial cooling" by evaporating saliva. Just like we eat ice cream, they are looking for a hint of coolness in their own way.

Although the effect is limited, this is their natural reaction. Helps them comb their hair, remove excess floating hair, and also helps cool down.

7. Suddenly I don’t like to move, I just want to be a “beautiful cat”

I am usually lively and active, but in summer, I may suddenly become lazy and don’t like to move, and the amount of activity is significantly reduced. This is because high temperatures consume a lot of physical strength, and saving energy and reducing exercise are their strategies to deal with high temperatures.

8. Drinking a lot of water and becoming a loyal fan of water dispenser

In summer, you will find that cats drink water significantly more frequently. Moisture can help them regulate body temperature and promote metabolism, so keeping the water source clean and sufficient is especially important for cats.

Pet-keeping tips to make your cat refreshed for a summer

01, keep the room ventilated, use air conditioners or fans appropriately, but avoid blowing the cat directly.

02. Provide enough water to place multiple water bowls, and encourage more drinking water.

03. Prepare an ice pad or cooling blanket to provide extra cool seating area for the cat.

04. Avoid going out during high temperatures, reduce sun exposure, and choose to walk your cat in the early morning or in the evening.

05. Comb your hair regularly to help remove floating hair and promote heat dissipation.
