How much do cats like to be in the sun?
1. Different body temperature
The normal body temperature of a cat is 38-39.5 degrees Celsius, which is higher than our body temperature, which may be hot for us, but not so for cats. This is why cats especially like to cook next to the fire in winter. Sometimes you find that the cat's fur has already started to roll, and the cat still hasn't left. Perhaps the cat at this time feels that he is warmer than the cat supplies you gave him such as the cat litter.
2. Remove moisture
The sun's rays not only make cats feel warm, but the ultraviolet rays in the rays can remove moisture and prevent the cat's skin from suffering from fungal and parasitic diseases. This should also be regarded as a way that cats find themselves in nature to treat skin diseases.
3. Supplement calcium nutrition
When cats are in the sun, they can promote the production of sebum and secrete vitamin D, which can be ingested when cats lick their hair. Moreover, the absorption of calcium is carried out under the action of the activating substance of vitamin D. Make sure your cat is getting enough vitamin D, which is also very helpful for your cat's body to absorb calcium. These naturally occurring vitamins will be absorbed much better than those supplemented with vitamins in cat bowls.
4. Places you need to pay attention to when basking in the sun
Although there are many benefits for cats to be in the sun, it is still necessary to pay attention not to let the cat stay in the sun for too long, otherwise the cat's skin will be sunburned, especially when the sun is the strongest at noon. Properly give cats some sunscreen cat supplies to prevent them from getting sunburned.
