If the catâs temperature is more than 103 degrees Fahrenheit, get him to the veterinarian right away. A catâs body hums along at a temperature of 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit â a little higher than the normal human body temperature and about the same as dogs. A normal range is 100 to 102.5, so call your veterinarian if your cat's temperature is higher or lower than that. To take your catâs temperature, lubricate a bulb or digital rectal thermometer with K-Y or petroleum jelly and gently insert it one to one and a half inches into the anal canal.

A mark in the skin or flesh of an animal, made by a wound or ulcer, and remaining after the wound or ulcer is healed; a cicatrix; a mark left by a previous injury; a blemish; a disfigurement.This earth had the beauty of youth, . . . and not a wrinkle, scar, or fracture on all its body. [T. Burnet.]
