This has as been an usually hot summer and usual my cat hasn’t had any issues (or at least not to my knowledge) with the heat. My cat is 13yrs old and is a long hair breed, a Norwegian Forest Cat. From what I know about his breed he is meant to be in freezing environments, so I wonder if this particular summer’s excess heat has caused him to have heat stroke or caused him to over heat? I say this because all of a sudden this summer...a week or so ago (during the hottest part of summer) my cat started to produce a lot of saliva than more than usual. He has also been drooling, panting, cleaning a lot more than usual, and he’s restless. He is an indoor and outdoor cat but he prefers to be outside during the day. However, he can come inside whenever he wants. When he’s outside he’s in the shade or can be if he wants. He also has constant excess to water. But I wonder if due to the thickness of his fur if he’s is getting too hot and that’s what is causing his symptoms. Btw He’s also may be drinking pool water. I don’t know what may be causing these symptoms. He has not vomited or had diarrea (as far as I know). He’s eating and drink and going to the bathroom. He’s behavior is normal for the most part and although he does seems a little off balance. Can you help me figure out what’s wrong? And Should I go to vet? I’m ask because he hate hates the vet more than most cats and I would like to avoid a visit if not necessary. What do you think is wrong with my little man?

My kitten have been vomiting since last three days. But only yesterday and today he vomit one time, and after vomiting he's not that active like playing aroung with the toys. He'll just go back to sleep. And his vomit is abit watery. Pls advice. Should i consult a vet or is there any other suggestion for me to prevent him from vomiting. It started when i brought him to the sea and just realise that he is type of cat that can get heat sensitivity easily. We are only been at the sea for 1 hour and decided to bring him back to the car and on the air-conditioned. And he also eat abit of the canned food.

Hi, my kitten just turned 2 months and last two days we thought of taking our kitten to the sea. But we didnt know cats cant be under the hot sun. Then he started to pant and his tongue turns red. When we reached home, we just let him cool down first we didnt wet him with any water. Then he started to vomit 4 times yesterday and today was two time. Pls advice.

We have a cat who seems to have experienced some heat stroke symptoms recently, especially today. It's been quite hot recently and today our cat has been throwing up. He is a Maine Coon mix so he has long and dense fur which I'm sure exacerbates the problem. We've cranked the ACs higher and blocked off the main room to keep it cooler than the rest of the house. And we have put some water on his paws/body earlier to help him cool off. The main symptoms he's shown are: - Vomiting (we've found 10 small separate instances throughout the day) - Seems to be walking a bit gingerly, not stumbling or falling over but less spry than usual. - More lethargic and stressed looking that usual. - Possibly a higher heart rate/breathing rate than normal. We plan on taking him to the vet tomorrow (It's night now, and started late this afternoon) but just wanted to see get some advice here if possible. A couple weeks ago we had our first heat wave, and he was getting pretty hot. I was playing with him (so he was active and running around) and he started panting. I took him down to a cool spot, wet his paws, etc. and he seemed fine. We have since put in ACs and haven't noticed anything until today (today is about the 4th 90+ degree day in row - hotter than normal where I live). We have considered getting his fur trimmed by a groomer, but have read mixed opinions on the effectiveness of this. Some say it helps, but others say they need they're long hair and can make it worse? And for what it's worth, he gets car sick almost every time he goes for a ride. When this happens he will usually defecate and/or vomit, so he gets a bath when we get home. All the stress from the car ride and bath makes him act more lethargic and mellow for the rest of the day. He is acting similar to this now. I don't think the heat has been a factor for the past several hours but he still looks stressed. He also had a bad reaction to flea meds a couple months ago and was throwing up all day. Just adding this to share that he has a pretty weak stomach and is prone to stress. Thanks!
