Although it is already autumn, but the autumn tiger occasionally has a dry heat, that the weather is hot, how can we help Garfield reasonable cooling? Garfield because there are no sweat glands on the body, so the heat will not be radiated through the body like people, but a wonderful location to dissipate heat through the foot pads.
Garfield’s foot pads actually have a great function. For example, it can be anti-slip, especially in some slippery tiles and other places walking is able to play a good anti-slip effect. In addition can also be heat dissipation. When the weather is hot Garfield precisely through their feet pad to heat. So if the Garfield’s foot hair is too long, it will affect the Garfield heat dissipation; then there is shock absorption. Garfield jump down from a high place, generally not easy to be injured, mainly thanks to its foot pads. In addition, cats are good at climbing, which is due to the fixed role of the cat’s foot grasp. If the Garfield’s foot hair is too long it will also affect the ability to grip and prevent slipping and falling. Therefore, like dogs, Garfield’s feet need to be trimmed frequently.
Of course, the method of trimming Garfield’s foot hair is very simple. When trimming Garfield’s foot hair, prepare round-ended scissors as much as possible, so as to avoid stabbing the cat’s paws when Garfield moves around. Then remember to trim the foot hair between the toes. If the cat does not cooperate, first soothe the cat and then trim it to the length of the fleshy pads of the paws, and after trimming, give the cat a small snack as a reward so that the cat will gradually develop an interest in shaving its feet.
Especially in summer, parents should not keep Garfield outdoors or on the balcony, as it is easy to get heatstroke in hot weather. It is best to be in a cool room, and water must be prepared, because the summer is dry, cats drink more water, must be diligent to add water.
