A cat's normal body temperature averages around 102 degrees, but cats still feel the heat, especially when it is hot and humid and even indoor rooms stay warm. In this episode of 19 Cats and Counting, Dr. Kelly Cairns joins host Rita Reimers to talk about cats and summer heat.
Dr. Cairns explains the risks when cats become overheated, the changes owners may notice, like drinking more, eating less and seeking out cool floor vents, and simple ways to help cats stay cool and comfortable all summer long.
