Thread: The summer is going to be hot, trimming or not?

Our cats definitely adapt partially to the summer temps. I know that when it first hit 80f here, our girl Bella that goes outside with me most days ended up panting while outside, but later in the summer this will not happen even when it is 90f. They definitely lose a good deal of their winter coats. Still we run air conditioning all summer long here since it is extremely humid along with being 90f.

I would try some approaches for increasing your guy's water intake. Do you have a pet fountain? Canned food is also 80% water, so if you are feeding dry or mainly dry you can increase canned intake.

Not sure about you trimming him, but it can be possible to get MCs groomed. I recall someone on the forum having this done fairly recently and being very pleased.
