My Siberian cat gets hot. I mean like noticeably hot.
Like a couple minutes after I took this picture he flipped himself over and I went to pet him and I could feel just how hot his fur is.
I now understand why he's always agitated, prefers sleeping on hardwood floors and stone and leather, and doesn't like to cuddle with me or sit on my lap!
Is there something I could realistically do to help him? Especially because I'm in New Jersey and it's about to turn summer.
I'm even fine with trimming his long luxurious fur, for him
๐ค that's not a bad idea
I have a cat just like yours with the same problem and can attest that it really does help. My fluffy guy really was no fan of the process, but he enjoyed summer much more afterwards. There really was an immediate change in his attitude, less apathic, more playful, cuddlier, and just happier overall. Will certainly do it again this year.
