Wordless Wednesday: 5 Ways to Keep Your Cat Cool on Hot Days Oh heatwave be gone!

Yes, it's real heatwave weather this week and Mum and I absolutely loathe it. It feels as hot as Hades (or should that be Tartarus?) Actually, hot as Hades sounds much better to me. Mum says it's because of the alliteration.

Of course as a goddess I should be able to freeze out this heat whenever I want. But unfortunately this is real life and I can't, but I can give your human some top tips on how to keep you cool and safe in this evil heat.

So here are my top 5 tips on keeping your cat cool in summer.


Always be aware that heat can be deadly so keep a look out for heatstroke.

For further info about keeping your pets safe and cool in summer please read my mum's post here Posted by Marie Symeou at 07:12 Labels: blog hop, cat care, dangers for cats, heatwave, pet safety month, summer, wordless wednesday 
We have lots of air conditioning here, fortunately - and my human doesn't take me out during the hottest parts of the day.

Good advice! It's hot here in north Wales, so I know it must be unbearable down south!!

I asked my cat bro Bert about how he stays cool and he said he was born a cool cat and will always be a cool cat. I think he may have misunderstood me and his ego came out instead.

That's some really good and important advice, Athena and Mum Marie. Thank you.

We sure hope it cools off there for you soon.

THe heat is really getting to us...wish that we didn't have so much hair!

Good advice ! We have a heat wave, and it's going to last several days. Purrs

We are strictly indoor cats but we don't have air conditioning! We are having a heatwave here too and it gets pretty warm in the house even though mom shuts it up when it starts to warm up and turns on the fans. We do better than her, though, since we like it much warmer than you humans.

Excellent advice, Athena! It isn't always easy to tell when a cat is getting too hot, so prevention is the best way to go. Things haven't gotten very hot where I am right now. Our weather is weird.

1 July 2015 at 21:33 
Thanks for keeping us in good health!!!!

2 July 2015 at 00:40 
Great tips! Our cats stay indoors and hang out in the basement (which is extra cool) on really hot days.

2 July 2015 at 01:58 
Very important post. I keep mine indoors so they are keeping cool.

2 July 2015 at 03:25 
You forgot the most important one: GET AN AC! Heh heh! Don’t forget to wet their paw pads cos that’s what keeps them cool
