by Lilou Bastet

Restricted access to the exterior
Avoid going out during the hottest hours to reduce the risk of heat stroke. Morning or evening outings are preferable.

Cooling mat
Cooling mats provide a cool surface for your cat to rest on to regulate their body temperature.

Regular grooming
Frequent brushing helps remove excess fur, allowing for better regulation of the cat's body temperature during the summer.

Ventilation of the habitat
Ensure good air circulation in your home with fans or air conditioning to create a more comfortable environment for your cat.
