Does your cat enjoy going for walks with you? If so, plan to take longer walks with your cat in the early morning and late evening hours during the summertime. Even if your cat doesn’t walk with you, plan to let her out for her own walks during the morning and evening. Walks or time outside during the day should be kept to a minimum and based on the temperature outside. If it’s too hot for you to be out then keep your cat indoors as well. When you take your cat out early in the day, make sure you use a reflective leash and harness and wear reflective clothing. Do the same if you go out later in the evening. If you must take your cat out midday, choose a shaded area to walk and stay on the cool grass. For more tips, give your Washington DC vet a call.
