When it comes to your cat owner in summer, your first reaction is that it is so hot in summer, so your cat owner must not have heatstroke. Therefore, all the methods that humans can use to prevent heatstroke and cool down are also used on their own cats. All kinds of cold drinks and air conditioners are greeted by you, but in summer, you can’t just think about preventing heat and cooling. If you are too greedy for coolness, you will also come to your door. This time we are talking about air conditioning disease. Yes, in addition to people, cats can also get air conditioning disease. It is also important to prevent air conditioning while preventing cats from being heatstroke!
1. The temperature of the air conditioner should be appropriate
First of all, we must make it clear that if you are not at home, don’t leave your cat in the air-conditioned room. Secondly, the air conditioner temperature is really critical. It is usually enough at 27 degrees. Don’t be greedy for coolness and lower it any more. If the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, it will be difficult for the cat to enter the air conditioner from outside, so it is difficult to adjust the body function, so try not to let the temperature difference between indoor and outdoors be more than 7 degrees. One thing to note is that you must not let the cold air of the air conditioner blow directly towards the cat, as its body cannot withstand the cold air of such intensity.
2. Pay attention to the air conditioning time
Some owners are afraid of the heat of their cat owners. When they go out, they leave the cat in the air-conditioned room and blow it all day long. These practices are not advisable. When the owner goes to work, he should put the cat in a cool and ventilated place to allow them to enjoy the natural wind. Moreover, the circulating air is also beneficial to the cat's body. Even if the cat stays in an air-conditioned room, it should turn off the power after 1-3 hours, then open the window to discharge the indoor air, so that the outdoor fresh gas can enter and exchange air.
3. Keep the air-conditioned room clean
Since the air-conditioned room is dry and the temperature is suitable, it provides a suitable living environment for bacteria and viruses. Therefore, if you stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time, many bacteria will definitely accumulate in the body, causing diseases. Moreover, the direction of the airflow in the air-conditioned room often changes, which weakens the cat's reaction to bacteria, allergens and odors in the air, so the cat's own resistance to bacteria has also decreased. Therefore, the air-conditioned room must be kept clean so that harmful bacteria and viruses will not breed, reducing the possibility of cats absorbing harmful bacteria. At the same time, it is best to use an air humidifier to avoid the cold wind damaging the mucous membrane of the cat's nose and eyes due to the dryness in the air-conditioned room.
4. Provide adequate drinking water
Although cats don't like drinking water, it is really important to replenish water in summer. Cats can eliminate toxins from the body by drinking water and urinating. Therefore, even if the cat does not feel hot in an air-conditioned room, you should give the cat a lot of water to let the cat urinate more so that it can excrete toxins in the body. You can also drink some mung bean soup that clears heat and detoxifies, but it must be appropriate. Cats should not eat too much alkaline food.
In the hot summer, don't be greedy for coolness, let us and the cat owner prevent air conditioning disease.
