Preventive and precautionary measures are taken to ensure that you stay away from contracting illnesses and diseases, and it is important to do the same with your cat friends. Rainy season brings in a lot of risk of infections, so it is vital that your pets are taken good care of during this cold, humid, and wet spell.

Heaviness in atmosphere can raise humidity, which in turn makes spreading of infections very easy. Fevers and infections are very common during monsoons because of the elevated levels of humidity and moisture in air. Digestive problems, unclean environments and lack of physical activity can also lead to a whole lot of serious conditions and illnesses.

There is no alternative to vaccinations. If you haven’t been sticking to your pet’s vaccination schedule, this season demands that you make a quick visit to your vet and get your cat vaccinated. You can also consult doctor to gauge what collars, powders or lotions are good for prevention of common diseases amongst pets during the rainy season.
