HOW TO KEEP CATS COOL DURING THE SUMMER HEAT: hot weather pet care tips, prevent cat heatstroke
During the summertime, it’s important to keep your furry friends cool! Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow and his mom, La Carmina, share tips for beating the heat. 1) Leave several bowls of cool water around the house. Replenish often. 2) Groom your pets regularly: shaving or brushing. 3) Wipe down your cat’s body with a cool, wet towel. 4) Keep your house well-ventilated, but go easy on the AC and fans. 5) Lick the occasional spoonful of organic, plain yogurt. 6) Ensure there are cool areas for your pets to rest. – Remember… a cool cat is a happy cat! *** Check out tons of Basil’s cute kitty pictures on his blog: lacarmina.com *** SONG: Byakkoya no Musume, from the Paprika soundtrack. – FOR MORE LA CARMINA – Look out for her upcomingbooks, Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants (July 09) and Cute Yummy Time (Nov 09 on Perigee/Penguin USA).

What a beautiful cat. He didn’t seem to like being wiped with the damp towel, but he loved having his neck and head rubbed.
OMG, Kitty is soooooo stinkin’ cute! I wish my cat was this well behaved when I wipe him down w/a wash cloth-he hates it! Love the vid
My cats like ice cubes in there H20.
Hey thanks for the tip!!!!
i tried the damp towel on my cat and after only 5 seconds she ran off to hide behind the sofa
This summer my cat was having a really hard time with the heat. I read online that cats cool down through their stomach and chest, hence the sitting on plastic bags. My cat was panting like crazy and not really drinking, so I followed the advice in this article and put down a cool wet towel on the floor, then lay him out so the surface of his chest was against the towel. It worked really well. The only thing is you don’t want to have the towel too cold or the shock can cause cardiac arrest!

@YoukoMyv lucky! my cat is really afraid of water so it substitutes mud for that… sigh~
A good way of grooming cats without a brush is to get your hands wet under a tap, then continually stroke the cat from head to tail, as the fur builds up on your hands they’ll get drier and drier until the collected fur peels right off your hand.
So if you find your cat is in need of grooming, and there’s also a shortage of towels in your house, then take this hint.
this is the most adorablest cat ever!
what breed is it??
