When combing Siamese cats, you can wet the fur with water first, and then rub it to make the coat stand up and facilitate combing. For long-haired cats, if the coat is tangled or stuck together, you can use your fingertips to remove it, or use a thin-toothed comb to comb slowly and carefully. If the felt has been rolled, you can use scissors to cut the felt into thin strips along the growth direction of the hair, and then use a comb to comb. If the rolling felt is severe, the coat can be trimmed to allow it to grow back. Siamese cats have short coats that are easy to care for and relatively heat-resistant.

When summer comes, cats tend to have some strange habits. For example, an Exotic Shorthair cat feels hot and generally likes to find a cool object to hang against and dry out its belly. When the cat is very hot, it will be listless, close its eyes slightly, and stick out its tongue slightly to dissipate heat. If left untreated, the cat will stick out its tongue, or even experience dehydration symptoms such as shortness of breath, drooling, and wetness. Cats who are not hydrated in time are likely to suffer from heat stroke. Exotic shorthair cats are also afraid of heat. The reason is that cats are sensitive animals, and their foot pads, nose and other organs can sensitively detect temperature.

Long-haired cats have more hair because of their long hair. The cat's own cleaning ability is limited, so people need to help it clean. But the number of baths should not be too frequent, about 15 days apart in summer, and once a month in winter is enough. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the hot weather is not only for people, but also for cats.

The most comfortable temperature for cats is about 25°C, so pay attention to ventilation when placing cats at home. During the daytime, many pet owners go out to work, and they will naturally close the doors and windows to prevent theft. In this way, the home will be airtight and the cat will be unbearably hot. Careful pet owners can leave a small window, and do not close all the windows tightly. For example, the windows in the ventilation area of the toilet are generally small but can bring coolness to the pet. Many pet owners take their pets with them even when they go out. However, cats may also experience heatstroke symptoms when they go out in hot summer, so pet owners who want to take cats out must be fully prepared before going out.
