Evening all,
A few days ago, I let my cat out when it was 29°C. He came back completely out of breath and panting. Since I live in a top-floor flat under the eaves, I took him over to my mum’s for the duration of the heatwave. I carried him there in his carrier on foot, which took about fifteen minutes, sticking to the shade. When he got out of his carrier, I was really worried: he was breathing very fast, panting, and took about twenty minutes to settle down. However, his body temperature was normal.
I’m picking my cat up on Sunday (my mum can’t keep him any longer), but it’s still hot at my place, and I’m worried the temperature will stay quite high all summer. So, my question is: at what temperature do cats start feeling uncomfortable?
I’d also love to hear your stories: what’s the temperature like in your homes? Are your cats coping okay?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Anne.
