Cats Need To Be Sheltered From the Record-Setting Summertime Temperatures

July 30, 2008 - PRLog -- Long Island, NY - While its called the “dog days of summer”, cats can suffer from the rising temperatures too. Across the nation, cities are seeing triple-digit temperatures as we sail into summer but cat owners can learn how to protect their feline friends by reading Making Your Cat’s Summer A Fun and Safe Time an ebook published by PURRsonals.com, the leading cats-only social networking web site for both cat owners and their cats.

Even if your cat is an outdoor cat, bring him inside during the day and don’t let him out until the sun sets and the nighttime air cools off. But if you do have outdoor cats, make sure they have:
--Plenty of water
--A shaded area during the daytime
--A comfortable place to sleep
If you have a patio or porch that is shaded, that is better than your cat staying hidden under bushes or under overhangs.

If your cat is indoors and you’re not home during the day, close the shades most of the way to create a shaded interior. And keep the air conditioning on a comfortable setting. Make sure they also have plenty of water available all day.

And if you’re traveling with your cat, make sure you don’t leave them in the car even if you have to run into a store. Take them to the hotel room so they are in the air conditioning, or if you’re running errands at home, take your cat back home before going into the stores. Never leave your cat inside a car...even with the windows rolled down a few inches. A car can heat up to over 100 degrees very quickly, even in a shady spot under a tree or next to a building.

“Your cat depends on you to make sure he’s safe and happy ,” said Sonny Crane, founder of PURRsonals.com. “You can both have a fun summer....just be careful and make sure your feline friend never gets overheated ”
