Cat Seasonal Care: Spring & Summer

Spring Allergies

Cats can suffer from seasonal allergies just like humans. Watch for sneezing, watery eyes, excessive scratching, and skin redness. Consult your vet about antihistamines.

Flea and Tick Season

Warmer weather means peak flea and tick activity. Ensure your cat flea prevention is up to date. Check outdoor cats for ticks after they come inside.

Heat Safety

Cats can overheat. Provide cool, shaded areas and fresh water. Never leave cats in parked cars. Brachycephalic breeds like Persians are especially heat-sensitive.

Shedding Season

Spring triggers heavy shedding. Increase brushing frequency to daily for long-haired cats. Regular grooming reduces hairballs and keeps your home cleaner.

Window Safety

Open windows are a fall risk. Install sturdy screens on all windows. High-rise syndrome — cats falling from windows — peaks in warm months.
