During the summertime, it’s important to keep your furry friends cool! Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow and his mom, La Carmina, share tips for beating the heat. 1) Leave several bowls of cool water around the house. Replenish often. 2) Groom your pets regularly: shaving or brushing. 3) Wipe down your cat’s body with a cool, wet towel. 4) Keep your house well-ventilated, but go easy on the AC and fans. 5) Lick the occasional spoonful of organic, plain yogurt. 6) Ensure there are cool areas for your pets to rest. – Remember… a cool cat is a happy cat! *** Check out tons of Basil’s cute kitty pictures on his blog: lacarmina.com *** SONG: Byakkoya no Musume, from the Paprika soundtrack. – FOR MORE LA CARMINA – Look out for her upcomingbooks, Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants (July 09) and Cute Yummy Time (Nov 09 on Perigee/Penguin USA).

hi…what a wonderful cat u have? what race is that?
This summer my cat was having a really hard time with the heat. I read online that cats cool down through their stomach and chest, hence the sitting on plastic bags. My cat was panting like crazy and not really drinking, so I followed the advice in this article and put down a cool wet towel on the floor, then lay him out so the surface of his chest was against the towel. It worked really well. The only thing is you don’t want to have the towel too cold or the shock can cause cardiac arrest!
i tried the damp towel on my cat and after only 5 seconds she ran off to hide behind the sofa
Hey thanks for the tip!!!!
My cats like ice cubes in there H20.
OMG, Kitty is soooooo stinkin’ cute! I wish my cat was this well behaved when I wipe him down w/a wash cloth-he hates it! Love the vid
What a beautiful cat. He didn’t seem to like being wiped with the damp towel, but he loved having his neck and head rubbed.
give hime a faux hawk! haha
holy crap he’s adorable.
he’s about as fat as my cat, kiken nakoyama X3.
It’s the Paprika soundtrack… all song info is listed in the Info section of my vids.
I have heard this song. Reminds me of something from Paranoia Agent. Am I far off?
I’m glad you like our video! You can see more Basil Farrow photos on BASILFARROW (dotcom)… more videos coming up!
LOL @ 1:36
better idea: lock the cat in your car in the summer heat with the windows rolled up!
These are excellent tips, I will def. use some of them for my cats this summer. Sometimes, I like to give them a spoonful or two of vanilla ice-cream. They seem to like that.
I like to put one or two ice cubes in my cats water to keep both the water and my cat cool
kyaaa~ your cat Basil Farrow is soo cute and adorable. thanks for this very useful tutorial. i’d do that to my cat.
So cute!!
haha no it was probably just to show the audience how much cat hair basil lost
Now I waht a kitty!!!!!
You must LOVE that cat!
Great tips!
you keep all your kitties hair in plastic bags?? weird.. *lol* just kidding :3
i luuv the song btw <3
I gave a friend a furminator for her extra hairy long haired rescue. It is a special kind of brush that just removes the downy underlayer of the fur. The cat was much happier and lighter. Just don’t go over the tummy/nipple area at all (ouch), or go too much over the tail, spine and bony joints or the cat might start to look like a possum.
yep i am!
