Cat care tips for Austin

Keep your cat safe through Austin's intense Texas summers

Intense summer heat

Austin summers are brutal, often exceeding 100°F. Ensure air conditioning is running at all times when your cat is home alone, and ask your sitter to check indoor temperatures during midday heat.

Hydration is essential

Central Texas heat causes rapid dehydration. A water fountain and regular wet food are crucial during summer months. Ask your sitter to check water levels at every visit and replenish frequently.

Cedar fever and allergies

Austin's infamous cedar pollen season runs December through February and can affect cats with respiratory sensitivities. Keep windows closed during peak pollen days and monitor for sneezing or eye discharge.

Sun protection in hot months

Austin's sun is relentless from May through September. Window blinds should be kept partially closed on south and west-facing windows during peak afternoon heat to keep indoor temperatures manageable.
