Does anyone elses cat get a bit lethargic in the heat? I've booked a vet appointment for tomorrow regardless because Gibson has been a bit slow and sluggish.
She's eating dry and wet food and treats.
But still worried.
Yes! Hot weather = Flat Cat. Totally normal.
Oh thank god. I was really, really worried ❤️
If she’ll put up with it, rub her down with an ice cube.
I'll chuck on my body armour in advance lol
Mine gets a bit floppy in the heat, but he's stupid and seeks out the hottest parts of the house.
Instead of an ice cube like another comment said, I use a cool wet flannel and rub him down (being sure to get his face, pits, and paws) and I throw an ice cube or two in his water.
