Why Do Cats Like Heat So Much?

November 2, 2020 By Miranda Jackson Leave a Comment

Maybe you’ve seen your cat look for the sun’s rays that sneak through the window and go long, this is fairly normal behavior, but many myths exist about whether the sun is good for them or not. What is clear is that cats like heat and their body asks them, so you will see them going to curl up in the bed or that chair where you just got up. In this article about how you will discover Why Do Cats Like Heat So Much?

The sun balances its body heat.

Cats look for the sunniest place to sleep simply because they like the feeling of warmth, and somehow the sun allows them to balance the loss of temperature that their body suffers while they sleep, which is, in fact, what they do most.

Some experts insist that the sun is good for cats because it helps them assimilate vitamin D. However, this contribution is quite insignificant since the hair of cats does not allow the passage of ultraviolet rays. This is why it is necessary to provide your cat with an adequate diet because this is where the greatest vitamins come from.

The heat gives them pleasure.

If humans already like to have a nap in the sun, you could not expect less from cats, and another reason why cats like the sun is that it gives them pleasure; it should be noted that it is not necessarily the sun that attracts them, but the source of heat that it means.

There are many other reasons why cats should be in the sun as the healing of wounds, but it is demonstrated that a domestic cat can live without it, although the healthiest is that there is a corner between the sun and the cat I can take your long naps.

Beware of excesses

It is necessary to emphasize that it is not the same that your cat is exposed to the winter or spring sun that to the summer one. It is clear that it is this time you should be more aware since the intense sun and excessive heat can make your cat suffer a heat stroke; this is why we give you some information below so you can know if it is indeed one and how to fix it.

Signs of heatstroke in cats

Although sunbathing is beneficial for both humans and animals, you need to pay attention in seasons where temperatures are very high so that your cat does not suffer a heat stroke; some of the signs that may present are:

  • We already know that cats tend to be lazy, but when a cat has a heat stroke, it will be more lazy than usual.
  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
  • Blue coloration in the gums.
  • Sudden vomiting
  • I wobble when walking.

First aid in case of heat stroke

The most important thing is to take your cat to the veterinarian. However, this can not always be done quickly enough, so you will need to know some first aid in case of heatstroke in cats:

  • Moisten your head and neck with a cloth with warm water. Do not wrap it.
  • Give him to drink water, but not in excess; if he does not want to, moisten his mouth.
  • Pass an ice cube through your nose, armpits, and groin.
  • Keep control of your temperature by placing compresses on your head.
