As the weather warms up and summer kicks in, it’s the perfect time to check in on your cat’s health and routine. Cats are sensitive to temperature changes and seasonal shifts, so June is ideal for refreshing your feline care practices—from hydration and nutrition to grooming and parasite prevention.Whether you’re a new cat parent or a seasoned pro, this guide has everything you need to help your cat thrive all month.1. Hydration is Key in the Summer Months – Cats are known for drinking less water than other pets, which makes them more prone to dehydration, especially during warm weather. Without enough fluids, they can experience urinary tract issues and heat-related stress.Hydration Tips:<ul><li>Add water or low-sodium bone broth to their wet food.</li><li>Use a cat water fountain to encourage drinking.</li><li>Keep multiple water bowls in shaded, cool spots around your home.</li></ul>Bonus Tip: Freeze broth in silicone molds for a refreshing treat.2. Grooming to Manage Summer Shedding –&nbsp; June is peak shedding season for most cats. Regular grooming helps prevent mats, reduce hairballs, and keep cats’ coats healthy and clean.Grooming Routine:<ul><li>Brush short-haired cats 2–3 times per week.</li><li>Long-haired breeds may need daily brushing.</li><li>Inspect for fleas, ticks, or skin issues during grooming sessions.</li></ul>Pro Tip: A flea comb can help remove loose fur and detect parasites early.3. Update Your Cat’s Diet for Summer – Cats may eat less when it’s hot, so it’s essential to adjust feeding habits while maintaining proper nutrition. Moisture-rich, high-protein diets are ideal during warmer months.Feeding Tips:<ul><li>Don’t leave wet food out longer than 20–30 minutes.</li><li>Offer frozen tuna water cubes as a light treat.</li><li>Keep feeding times consistent and portion-controlled.</li></ul>Vet Tip: A sudden loss of appetite may indicate an underlying issue—don’t hesitate to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="link" href="https://windyhillvet.com/contact/">consult your vet</a>.4. Stay Ahead of Fleas and Ticks – Fleas and ticks become more active during the summer. Even indoor cats are at risk, especially if other pets or humans bring pests into the home.Prevention Checklist:<ul><li>Use a vet-approved flea and tick treatment monthly.</li><li>Vacuum pet beds, carpets, and furniture frequently.</li><li>Inspect your cat’s fur, especially near the ears, paws, and tail.</li></ul>Note: Natural remedies are not always safe—always check with your vet before using any non-prescription treatments.5. Beat Boredom with Mental Stimulation – Summer means longer days, and your cat may have extra energy to burn. Mental stimulation is essential to prevent boredom, especially for indoor cats.Enrichment Ideas:<ul><li>Rotate toys to keep them interesting.</li><li>Use food puzzles or treat mazes.</li><li>Add a window perch or build a catio for fresh air and safe outdoor time.</li></ul>Feeling adventurous? Try leash training for short, supervised walks outside.6.
