Cats like to head outside on their own accord, but sweltering sunshine can cause problems for felines including dehydration and even sunburn.
There are precautions pet owners can take to help their four-legged friends through a heatwave, such as providing shady spaces indoors and outside your home, if your cat is one that likes to wander into the yard or garden. And make sure you check any sheds or greenhouses for napping cats before you lock them.
Some cats are more at risk of the sun's rays than others, especially those with white fur. You can get specific sun cream to help them.
