My Siberian cat gets hot. I mean like noticeably hot.
Like a couple minutes after I took this picture he flipped himself over and I went to pet him and I could feel just how hot his fur is.
I now understand why he's always agitated, prefers sleeping on hardwood floors and stone and leather, and doesn't like to cuddle with me or sit on my lap!
Is there something I could realistically do to help him? Especially because I'm in New Jersey and it's about to turn summer.
I'm even fine with trimming his long luxurious fur, for him
For our pet rabbit I bought a clay plant saucer (the part you would put under the pot to catch extra water). I flip it upside down and put an ice pack under it. Then a towel between the ice pack and floor to soak up condensation. The ice cools the clay without her being in direct contact with the ice.
Also frozen water bottle in a sock she can lay next to on the extra hot days.
