It's that time of year when I advise you to keep your HCM cat as cool and as humid free as possible (or warm if it's the winter season where you are.) Run fans, dehumidifiers, and AC (portable or other types) as often as you can. Make sure filters and water buckets are clean and free of mold and mildew (each item has different needs.) Run the AC at about 72 degrees: too cold or too hot and the cat may have a difficult time breathing, and remaining comfortable. You don't want to create breathing issues and you don't want to cause stress reactions in the body to heat and humidity. Good luck!
Our cat Myrna Loy, born March 22, 2009, died of HCM 8/19/15. We will continue the blog and FB page. With five cats, we often have a variety of medical issues. Please share your information. Please check the Archives, Categories, Search, and Tabs for more information.
