5 consejos para cuidar a tu gato en primavera

Hablemos de las ventajas y desventajas de la primavera: más luz, más calor y muchas flores. En contraste, más exposición al sol, más riesgo de deshidratación y más alergias. Si eso te pasa a ti, imagina a tu gato, que sufre igualmente, quizá el doble, de estos cambios de estación. Los michis disfrutan del nuevo clima y de la primavera, pero necesitan atención especial para cuidar su salud y bienestar general.

Obviamente cada felino es diferente, así como los lugares en lo que suele pasar el tiempo, pero es importante que atiendas esto para evitar sustos. Los gatos también pueden sufrir golpes de calor, alergias por las flores e incluso sufrir problemas intestinales. Sigue estos consejos y tanto tú como tu michi tendrán una feliz temporada

Cómo cuidar a tu gato del calor

Aléjalo del sol

Generalmente los gatos aman el sol. Cuántas veces no los vemos bañándose o tomando una siesta en cualquier rincón iluminado. Sin embargo, en estos días que sube la temperatura debes revisar que no se insolen.

Primero, monitorea su rutina para asegurarte de que no pasen mucho tiempo afuera, y en caso de que lo dejes por mucho tiempo, deja cortinas o persianas abajo, y siempre son su habitación ventilada. Al primer indicio de desorientación, jadeos excesivos, dificultad para moverse y hasta vómitos, ve al veterinario porque probablemente tiene un golpe de calor.

Hidrátalo

De la mano de los cuidados por el sol y las olas de calor, está mantenerlo bien hidratado. Los gatos suelen ser menos constantes en la búsqueda de agua, así que puedes motivarlos de diferentes maneras: por ejemplo, con bebederos automáticos o simplemente cambiando constantemente su agua para que la sienta fresca y limpia. Puedes también humedecer toallas y pasársela por el dorso para simular el efecto de sudor, o simplemente dejarlas en los puntos donde suele estar para que se recueste y refresque en ellas.

Cuídalo de las flores

La curiosidad mató al gato, y más si se trata de explorar con plantas. En estos días nos encanta llenar la casa con flores o quizá muchas de nuestras plantas están floreciendo, pero hay que estar atentos a que no sean perjudiciales para los michis. Algunas que causan alergias son las hortensias, las azucenas (y todos sus derivados) y los crisantemos.

Cepíllalo

Seguramente ya habrás notado que tu gato está soltando más pelo. Es normal en esta época: la subida de temperaturas hace que nuestros michis cambien de pelo para sentirse más ligeros. Ayúdalo en este proceso cepillándolo unas dos veces a la semana si tiene el pelo corto o hasta cuatro veces a la semana si es de pelaje más largo y abundante. Con esto, le ayudarás a tener menos calor y tu casa se mantendrá más limpia.

Cuida su alimentación

Época de calor y todo alimento necesita mayor cuidado. Lo mismo pasa con la comida de tu gato, que puede verse expuesta a contaminantes propios de la temporada o a una descomposición más rápida. Sírvele porciones pequeñas que pueda comerse al instante.

Procura que su alimento esté fresco y que en caso de ser comida que tú has preparado, como pollo, no haya pasado mucho tiempo al aire libre. Por último, limpia sus platos constantemente para evitar cualquier germen.
