=^..^= Getting Kitty Ready for Summer

Summertime Preparation

Kitty Wellness and Health


Summertime brings a lot of health risk for the kitty in/outdoors. It doesn't matter if kitty is only indoors there are still risks.

Fleas, ticks and parasites can still find their way into the home. We try our best to keep our homes clean and safe from risks; however, we have limited ability to keep our home foolproof.

Here are some tips to get kitty ready for summer

Fresh cool water

If your kitty is indoors then the water supply will be good. If your kitty is outdoor you need to provide fresh clean cool water for kitty daily.

Out of the sun

Kitty still needs a place out of the sun to cool off during hot summer months. Some cats enjoy a nice cool place on the patio. I have put up a mister fan for my dogs during the hot months. If you are struggling with indoor heat use fans to help keep kitty cool.

Leave Kitty at home

Do not travel with your kitty and leave them in the car during warm weather. If you are traveling with kitty be sure the air conditioner is on or windows are open and plenty of ventilation.

Proof check those screens

Indoor kitties can accidentally get out if there is a hole in the screen. Proof check your screens before opening windows and check monthly for tears or holes.

Vaccinate your kitty

I recommend vaccinating indoor/outdoor kitties. There are some vaccinations I do not do for my indoor kitties. Outdoor kitties should get the complete necessary vaccinations.

Health Check

Get your kitty checked with the vet and do not forget to get dewormed and parasite preventatives. This includes indoor cats too!

Exploring outdoors

I have a cat tent and harnesses for my cats. My ragdoll is not a fan but Bunny my Lynx-Siamese loves being outdoors. Remember supervise your kitties if they are temporarily outside in a confined area. Nothing wrong with letting kitty get some fresh air.
