Can Cats get Sunburn ?


Yes, cats can definitely get sunburn if they are exposed to the sun for too long. If your cat likes to stay outdoors, make sure he has access to shady areas to escape the hot sun and its harmful rays. Cats are typically prone to sunburn on the tips of their ears as well as other parts of the body that aren’t covered with very much fur. For instance, some cats can get sunburn on their belly, under their legs (i.e. the armpit) and even on their backs if they are shorthaired. Wirehair cats may attract the sun more as well since their coat is more hair than fur and leaves some areas uncovered. If your cat tends to burn easily from the sun consider keeping your cat indoors or having it wear some type of shirt to block the sun. Do not apply people sunscreen. Talk to your vet Frisco, TX about cat sunscreen instead. Visit website https://planotxvets.com to know more.
