I cannot answer for cats, but dogs lower their body temperature by panting. The can elongate their tongue to great lengths, and panting evaporate excess heat that way. The pads on their feet also can perspire to eliminate heat, but only to a limited extent. Dogs cannot "sweat" through their skin, as humans can. Naturally, they seek a shady spot, too.

Can cold-blooded animals sweat?
Cold-blooded animals do not sweat like warm-blooded animals do. They regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun or seeking shade to warm up or cool down, respectively. Some cold-blooded animals, like reptiles, may also rely on behaviors such as burrowing or seeking shelter to maintain their body temperature.
Why are cool blooded animals named so?
Cold blooded animals are referred to as cold blooded because they do not internally regulate their body temperatures.
Can people be cold blooded?
No, humans are warm blooded. Cold blooded animals can change their internal temperature to match the external temperature, while warm blooded animals maintain a high internal temperature regardless of the external temperature. The reason why humans have sweat glands is to cool your body when the external temperature is high.
How is a cold blooded animal different from a warm blooded?
The body temperature of "cold blooded" animals is not internally regulated and tends to follow the surrounding ambient temperature. The body temperature of "warm blooded" animals is internally regulated and tends to stay relatively constant regardless of the surrounding ambient temperature. For example most mammals shiver to warm themselves when it is too cold and sweat to use evaporation to cool themselves when it is too hot.
Are scorpions warm blooded or cold blooded?
They are cold blooded. All mamals are warm-blooded and all other animals are cold blooded.
How do cold blooded animals control their body temperature?
They can't. Unlike warm bloods, their body temperatures changes with the environment. So if its 35° outside, its body goes down to that temperature. That's why they only come out in the morning and early afternoon to bath their skin in the sun then retreat to their home at night.
Is a crocodile cold-blooded?
A crocodile is a reptile. All reptiles, including the crocodile, are cold-blooded. This means that they can not regulate their blood temperature. Instead they use their surrounding environment to keep their blood temperature were it should be.
What makes an animal cold or warm blooded Is it because of some valves in the heart?
The terms actually don't have anything to do with blood except for the fact that blood helps move the heat throughout the body. Cold blooded, or exothermic animals are not able to regulate their internal temperatures. They have to sit in the sun to warm up and sit in the shade to cool off. Warm blooded, or endothermic animals can keep a pretty constant internal temperature. Ours is 98.6 degrees Farenheit. It actually has to do with the part of the brain that controls body regulation, not with the heart.
What is the difference between cold blooded and warm blooded vertebrates?
Warm blooded animals generate their own heat through their metabolism. Cold blooded animals need warmth of the environment to bring their bodily temperature to normal temp. The main difference between a cold-blooded animal and a warmblooded one is that the warmblooded one has a physiology that includes mechanisms that heat and keep the body warm. The cold-blooded animal lacks these things and its body temperature will change in response to the weather (hot sun, snow) and what the animal can do to avoid the effects of that weather (like a lizard sunning on a rock early in the moring or hiding in the shade at noon). Warm blooded animals have a constant temperature, and can live in cold temperatures. Cold blooded animal's blood temperature depends on their environment's temperature.
Do cold blooded creatures give off body heat?
reptiles blood is not really cold, it just means that when reptiles are in the shade they cool down and when they go into the sun they can warm up. the difference between the warm blooded is that warm blooded does not cool and heat as much as the cold blooded. reptiles need it so they can withstand the temperature.
What does it mean to say a animal is warm blooded?
Cold-blooded animals have a variable body temperature which reflects the environmental temperature (eg. fish and reptiles). Warm-blooded animals keep their core body temperature at a nearly consistent level regardless of the temperature of the surrounding environment (eg. birds and mammals).
Invertebrates are warm and cool blooded animals?
dinosaurs are the animals which are warm blooded.
