As the winter season gives way to spring, we’re all looking forward to warmer temperatures. Before summer arrives, make sure you know how to help your cat beat the heat.

It all starts with making sure that your cat has access to fresh, clean water. This means replacing the water in his bowl at least once a day. You should also strive to clean out the bowl every time the water is replaced. If your cat heads outside, you may have to check on the water bowl more often.

Although you may be tempted to shave your cat to help him cool off, that fluffy coat actually helps insulate him against the heat! Instead, strive to brush your cat every day to get rid of dead hair that can make your cat uncomfortable.
