Hey there, fellow cat lovers! If you’re a proud owner of Ragdoll cats like me, living in the sunny paradise of Malta, you know just how pawsome and loveable these furry companions can be.

But as the temperatures rise and the humidity kicks in, we must take extra care of our ragdolls, pancakes, and mango to keep them cool and comfortable. In this meow-tastic blog, I’ll share tips and tricks to ensure our whiskered friends stay chill even on the hottest days.

Pawsitively Cool: Keeping Your Ragdolls Happy in Heat and Humidity

Hydration Station for Cool Cats

We must keep Pancakes and Mango well-hydrated in the blazing Maltese sun; no hissy fits allowed! Make sure to have multiple water bowls available throughout the house, strategically placed in shady spots where they can quench their kitty thirst. Don’t forget to add some ice cubes for an extra refreshing touch!

Incredible Retreats for Chill Kitties

It’s time to create some cool kitty hideawaysβ€”a true feline paradise! Set up cosy nooks with soft blankets or mats in the shady areas of your home, away from those scorching sunrays. Make it a personal kitty cabana with fluffy pillows and maybe even a mini fan to keep the air flowing. Let them nap away like the cool cats they are!

Grooming Galore

Ah, the joy of pampering our Ragdolls! Regular grooming sessions provide an opportunity for bonding and are essential to maintaining their fabulous fur in top condition.

Grab a high-quality grooming brush and gently remove any loose hair to prevent uncomfortable mats. It’s akin to treating yourself to a spa day!

Take It Easy, Meow-stay Calm

While it is well understood that Ragdolls can exhibit bursts of energy, it is advisable to avoid excessive stimulation. It is best to reserve their playful antics for more suitable times, such as early mornings or evenings. Save the playful antics for the more excellent hours, like early mornings or evenings.

Engage in some gentle cat yoga or a leisurely game of chase-the-string. It’s all about keeping them entertained and happy without turning them into overheated furballs!

Heat Watch

Signs of Overheating: As responsible cat parents, we must watch for any signs of overheating.

Look for excessive panting, lethargy, or your Ragdolls seeking cool surfaces like tiles to lie on. If you notice these signs, it’s time for quick action! Offer them a cool towel to lounge on or a delicious frozen treat to help them beat the heat.

Indoor Oasis

Let’s transform our homes into calm kitty oases! Use a fancy thermostat or humidity meter to monitor the temperature and humidity levels. Make sure the air flows freely with fans or air conditioning. You could even make a small cat pool with cool water for them to dip their paws in (if they like that)!
