what is an average cat temperature
If the catâs temperature is more than 103 degrees Fahrenheit, get him to the veterinarian right away. A catâs body hums along at a temperature of 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit â a little higher than the normal human body temperature and about the same as dogs. A normal range is 100 to 102.5, so call your veterinarian if your cat's temperature is higher or lower than that. To take your catâs temperature, lubricate a bulb or digital rectal thermometer with K-Y or petroleum jelly and gently insert it one to one and a half inches into the anal canal. Trust me, youâll want an assistant to hold the cat firmly in a standing position during this process.
