You can use a thermometer directly to the cat’s anus or in the ear to take the temperature. The normal range of the cat’s rectal temperature is 38.1°C to 39.1°C. If the measured temperature exceeds this range, the cat may have a fever. If the fever exceeds 39°C, please take it to the pet hospital immediately, because high fever can cause organ damage to cats. ​​​​​​

How to tell if a cat has a fever? What should I do if a cat has a fever?

When a cat has a fever, the owner can temporarily help it cool down by finding a cool, dark room, preferably with a slate or tile floor, where it can stretch and transfer body heat to the tiles. You can use a damp cloth or spray bottle to moisten her coat, and the evaporation will help cool her body.

Most fevers in cats are caused by an underlying condition, so watch for other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, or swollen skin. If you find that your cat has a fever, it is best to take it to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
