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

Sorry, I don't really have any advice, my last cat loved to be warm, and would purr her stupid face off laying on me while I was literally sweating! But since your cat can't vocalize it, I just wanted to say thank you for looking into this, and helping that dude be more comfortable... Good human.
