Why Is My Cat Sticking Out Its Tongue?
A cat sticking out its tongue is often normal — cooling off (cats sweat poorly), grooming mid-play, or dazing. But it can also signal oral disease (with drooling, breathing trouble), oxygen lack after hard exercise, or poisoning. See a vet if it comes with other odd symptoms.
What should I do if my cat has internal heat (heat-related symptoms)?
When a cat has internal heat, it usually shows a dry nose, increased eye discharge, yellow urine, hard stools, bad breath, and redness inside the mouth. Adjust the diet promptly with bland, cooling foods like mung bean soup and increase water intake.
My Cat May Have a Fever: Runny Nose, Wheezing, Weak Limbs, Lethargy
Don't medicate blindly; confirm the cause. Fever is 39.2°C+; cool with compresses and alcohol on ears/paws. Runny nose with wheezing may signal serious disease needing X-rays and tests.
My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.
What breed is the cat that looks like an alien?
The cat that looks like an alien is the Sphynx (Canadian Hairless), a breed produced by a genetic mutation. They have sparse hair, wrinkled skin like antelope leather, a muscular build, an angular head, and large lemon-shaped eyes, which gives them the nickname 'alien cat.' Sphynx cats are gentle and fairly independent, and are quite popular. But one thing needs special attention during care: because the 'alien cat' has sparse hair and no fur protection, it is sensitive to both cold and heat. So the owner should take proper warming and cooling measures for it.
Why Does My Cat Keep Rolling on the Floor?
Why does a cat keep rolling on the floor? Cats can't speak, so they express emotions through behavior, and rolling is one such signal, but the reason differs by situation. Our pet care specialists detail the reasons.
My cat has no energy after a fever, eats and drinks but is uninterested in everything else
Fever usually brings poor appetite, lethargy, dry nose, and weakness, but the fever itself is abnormal, typically from infection or contagious disease, so see a vet to find the cause. If you cannot go at once, cool it physically with alcohol swabs or ice on paw pads and ear tips; a temperature above 39.5 C is fever, and persistent fever needs hospital tests for panleukopenia, FIP, pneumonia, and leukemia.
Should You Shave Your Cat in Hot Weather?
Shaving is risky for timid or sensitive cats and rarely needed. If you do it, use clippers with care, mind the cat's temper, and never shave the belly too short. In general, skip the shave.
Is Redness at the Corner of a Cat’s Eye a Tear Stain?

How to Avoid Conflict with Your Cat
Cats show clear warning signs before attacking—puffed fur, thrashing tail, airplane ears, hissing, and wide eyes. Give them space: avoid eye contact, back away, and don't punish. Rule out pain or illness with a vet check if aggression appears suddenly, and use food and calm handling to rebuild trust.
