How do you cool a cat down?

A cat cools itself down. They sweat through their paws. Just let the cat lay in some shade and it will cool down.

Cats will also wash themselves more than usual in order to cool down; as the moisture from their fur evaporates this cools the cat. You can replicate this by gently stroking or rubbing a cool damp cloth or towel over your cat's fur.

If you have a tiled area such as a kitchen or bathroom, the cat might enjoy laying on the cool tiles or even in a sink or bath. Fans and air conditioning also help, but bear in mind air conditioning can dry the air out and, subsequently, your cat's skin.

Lastly, be sure to keep fresh, cool water out for your cat at all times.
