Summer dangers for our feline friends
3 June 2015
Cats are very much exposed to exterior dangers during the hot season.
Heat may affect them as much as it can affect our dogs. Keep your cats indoor as much as possible when there is a big heat wave and make sure that they have fresh water and a place to cool off.
A cat that suffers from heat may pant like a dog. This is a signal that you must cool him down quickly.A few more things to think about:1) Wild animal bites
****Vaccinate your cat against RABIES, outdoor cat or not! (a cat is very quick to run out the door…)****
