Summer Diet Tips for Cats

We all feel the heat in summer due to which we tend to eat less and prefer drinking more liquid during this period. Similarly, our felines feel hot too leading to loss of appetite.

And if this gets you worried, then don’t. Just make sure that your cat is getting enough nutrition and is hydrated. The reason behind less food intake is because cats need less energy and calories to keep themselves warm during summer as compared to winter season.

Cats have a tendency to give us signs when they start to feel the summer heat so pay attention to it. You will notice your cat is now taking longer naps, may not be eating as much that results in weight loss, resting in cooler place (for e.g., on the floor or in shade). It is considered to be normal if you do notice these signs in your cat during summer. However, as a cat parent you must make certain changes in your cat’s diet so that their nutritional requirement is met.
