While cats are generally more tolerant of heat than dogs, they can still overheat. Severe signs of heatstroke in cats include panting, drooling, vomiting, lethargy, staggering, red gums, rapid heart rate, or collapse. Unlike dogs, cats rarely pant from heat unless in distress. If you observe any of these severe signs, especially collapse or difficulty breathing, this is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
