Question
im worried about my cat because since she is black shes been getting incredibly hot and im worried that she might get heat stroke.
could you advise me on what to do?
i thankyou in advance for any information.

Answer
Hi Rosie,

I presume your cat lives outside??  If so, as long as she has shade and plenty of water she will be fine.  The color of her coat has nothing to do with it.  Animals get heat stroke when there is no shelter from the sun, and inadequate water supply.  

God Bless,
Becky
