Short coat or long, your cat feels the summer heat and needs relief from the rising temperature. Ensure your kitty doesn’t overheat with these tips to keep her cool this summer.

Summer is always a difficult time to be a pet owner. Your cat can’t exactly tell you “Hey human, I’m hot – can you toss me a cold one?” That’s why you often spend a lot of time trying to gauge her reaction. And with a black cat, it’s even worse. But the good news is there are some simple steps you can take to help keep your cat cool and comfortable throughout the hot summer season.

When the temperature starts to rise, make sure your kitty stays comfortable. Here are five ways to keep your cat cool this summer.

As a final note to all you worried cat parents out there, let me assure you two things: your cat probably wouldn’t suffer in silence, and she would definitely let you know she was uncomfortable, even if it wasn’t through loud yowls. The three clearest signs of overheating are dilated pupils, yowling, and vomiting, so keep an eye out for those symptoms.
