The current hot weather makes many living creatures look for a more comfortable and safe place to shelter from the scorching rays of the sun. One of them is cats, animals that usually really enjoy basking in the sun, but when the weather is too hot, they avoid excessive exposure to light.
Cats are animals that are very sensitive to temperature and weather. They have thick fur but it cannot protect them completely from excessive heat. Therefore, when the weather is very hot, cats will look for a shadier and cooler place to take shelter. One place that cats often use as shelter during hot weather is the terrace of the house. There, they can find sufficient shade and cooler air than outdoors. Apart from that, the terrace of the house is also usually safer for cats because they can observe their surroundings without being exposed to direct sunlight.
We as cat owners, we also have to pay attention to the needs of our pets, especially during extreme weather like now. Providing a safe and comfortable place for cats is one form of attention we can give them. Apart from that, we can also provide sufficient and cool drinking water to keep cats well hydrated. Apart from looking for shelter, cats also often do sunbathing activities at certain times when it is not too hot. It is a natural habit for cats to get vitamin D from sunlight but when the weather is too hot, we must ensure that they are kept safe and not exposed to excessive heat.
By providing good attention and care to our cats, we can help them maintain their health and well-being in hot weather. As living creatures that also experience extreme weather, cats also need protection and attention from their owners. Hopefully, by providing enough attention, our cats can stay healthy and happy even though the current hot weather is a challenge for them.
