Many shovelers will wonder: What's wrong with the cat sticking out his tongue so hot? In fact, cats have fewer sweat glands and are concentrated on the soles of their feet, so when it is cold, they can shrink into a ball to keep warm, but when it is hot, it is difficult to adjust body temperature. Therefore, many people find that cats stick out their tongues so hot that they stick out their tongues. What should they do if cats stick out their tongues when they are hot? Next, let’s take a look at how to treat cats’ hot and stick out their tongues.
1. Transfer the cat to a cool and ventilated place
If the cat sticks out his tongue when it is hot outdoors, the owner needs to take the cat to a cool and ventilated place to rest as soon as possible, and prepare sufficient water for the cat to help it relieve dryness and heat.
2. Turn on the air conditioner or fan to cool down
If it is indoors, you can use air conditioners, fans and other items to cool down. First of all, if you use an air conditioner to cool down, be careful not to lower the temperature too much. Usually the room temperature is around 26 degrees Celsius to prevent cats from catching a cold. Moreover, you cannot blow the air conditioner for a long time, and fresh air is also required. Secondly, if you use a fan to help the cat reduce the ambient temperature, be careful not to blow directly at the cat, and be careful not to let the cat lie on the floor for a long time to avoid causing diarrhea.
3. Wrap ice cubes with a towel and wipe the cat's body
If conditions permit, you can also wrap ice cubes with a towel and slowly wipe the cat's neck, armpits, and inner thighs to reduce the temperature of the cat's body. In addition, you can also prepare ice pads for cats to sleep, which will also have a good cooling effect.
Note: If you are worried that the cat will be hot, the owner can shave off the cat's soles of the feet when the weather is hot, increase heat dissipation, and let the cat drink more water. At the same time, windows can be opened or fans can be used to circulate the air, thereby reducing the ambient temperature.
