The cat's temperature is normal at 38 to 39.5 degrees Celsius. First, the cat's body temperature can be measured by anal temperature and ear temperature. The body temperature measured in different parts will be slightly different. Usually, it is normal for cats to have an anus temperature of 38 to 39.5 degrees Celsius and an ear temperature of 37 to 38.5 degrees Celsius. In addition, when the cat's body temperature exceeds normal, physical cooling can be taken to help cool down, such as rubbing alcohol on the cat's foot pad. If it does not improve, it is recommended to send it to the doctor in time.
To measure the body surface temperature, it is necessary to set the thermometer below 25℃, put the thermometer on the inside of the hairless hind leg of the cat and read it after 5 minutes. Anal temperature measurement requires two people, one is to protect the cat, and the other is to slowly insert the mercury thermometer into the cat's rectum. Insert about 4 to 5 cm and stand still for two minutes. If the temperature no longer changes, take out the thermometer to observe the reading.
The benefits of owning a cat
After eating cat food, cats consume very low carbon emissions, which is only equivalent to making an ordinary car. This is indicated by a research report in New Zealand in 2009, so keeping cats is more environmentally friendly, which has scientific basis. Cats can relieve the pressure of their owners and soothe their souls. Cats are better at listening to their owners' troubles.
A study by the British Cat Association shows that nearly 90% of women find men who own cats more attractive. Therefore, owning a cat is likely to help you get rid of being single, broaden your circle of friends and increase the opposite sex. Cat owners can improve the quality of sleep. For those who can't sleep, listening to the purring of cats will make them feel very cured, relax and fall asleep as soon as possible.
