Cat's body hair is a goalkeeper who blocks the skin and the outside world. When the sun is too big or the ultraviolet rays are too strong, body hair can help the cat avoid direct ultraviolet rays and balance body temperature. It can also strengthen the attachment of fleas, mold, etc., and protect the cat from direct physical or other organisms.
So if all the cat's body hair is shaved, it is equivalent to losing this layer of protection, and the cat's fragile skin will be exposed, which will easily get sick or injured. Some cats will also be in a bad mood, which will affect their appetite and spirit.
The appropriate time to shave should be when the cat's skin is infected and has medical needs. For the sake of convenient treatment, or when the long-haired cat's hair is tangled into pieces, you can do appropriate trimming, and pay attention to the cat's physiological and psychological conditions after shave, give nutritional supplies and praise more.
Please keep cats in areas where they are usually active and ventilated and cool. They must not be kept in a balcony or in a room with tightly closed windows. If the indoor temperature is too high, turn on the air conditioner and fan to help cool down.
In addition, you can add one or two ice cubes to the cat's water. The cool water will make the cat feel more comfortable to drink. Or make a homemade cool cushion and wrap the ice bags frozen in a towel so that the cat can lie on it and cool down.
Never take the cat out at noon, let the cat walk on the hot asphalt road, or think that it is just getting off the car and shopping for five minutes, and locking the child in the stuffy car. These are very dangerous and irresponsible behaviors.
The normal body temperature of a cat is around 38 to 39 degrees. If the anal temperature is measured above 39.5 degrees, or if you touch the inner side of the back leg, you will find that the temperature is too high, the cat begins to have abnormal symptoms, such as poor appetite, poor spirit, or even vomiting, unclear consciousness, congestion in the eyelids and oral mucosa, etc., it means that he may have heatstroke. You can move the cat to a cool place at the moment. It is best to turn on air conditioning indoors and wipe the body with cold water. Do not directly place the cat in ice water to avoid blood vessel contraction, and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
