Do cats sweat?
Cats sweat.

They are sweating like a pig. The cat's sweating points are mainly concentrated in several specific positions of the cat, that is, the cat's four soles. Because cats have fewer sweat glands than humans, the sweating mechanism of cats can't make cats cool much, nor is it the main way for cats to cool down.

Sweating is a way for the body to dissipate heat. Less sweating will affect the speed at which cats dissipate heat, making them more prone to heatstroke than humans. When the cat keeps drinking water, sticking out its tongue, showing its belly and losing its appetite, it means that the cat has already felt hot. The owner should pay attention to the temperature of the environment and don't let them stay in the sun or in front of the heater. If necessary, air conditioners, electric fans and ice mats can be used to help cats dissipate heat and avoid heatstroke.

Living habits

Cats are fast and good at jumping. Eat fish, mice, rabbits, etc. Cats like to eat fish and mice, because cats are Nocturnal Animals. In order to see things clearly at night, they need a lot of taurine. Both mice and fish contain taurine, so cats eat them not only because they like fish and mice, but also because of their own needs. Cats, as natural enemies of rodents, can effectively reduce the harm of rodents to crops such as young crops, which can be seen from the font "Miao" of ancient cats in China.

Cats can walk freely on high walls and jump lightly, so they have to be impressed by their sense of balance. This is mainly due to the cat's outstanding reaction nerve and sense of balance. It only needs to change the position and height of its tail slightly to achieve the balance of its body, and then it can jump nimbly by using the strong muscles and strong joints of its hind feet. Even if you land in the air, you can change your attitude in the air and land lightly and accurately.
