Can cats get sunburned?

Cats, like humans, can burn in strong sunshine, with white and pale coloured felines being the most a risk. If you have a pale coloured cat make sure that he has sun block on his ears and nose, the two areas most likely to burn. Use a waterproof non-toxic sun scrren which your cat can’t lick off and reapply the cream throughout the day. Ask your vet for a suitable sun cream to use. Try to keep your cat indoors between 10am and 3pm this is when the sun is hottest. Always provide a shady retreat for hot cats.
