Most Americans carry around some sort of credit or debit card, embossed with a 15- or 16-digit card number on the front. But what exactly do those numbers mean? Are they sequential, random or do they follow some other type of pattern? It turns out that there is meaning behind those numbers.
That's because the average body temperature for a cat is 101.4 degrees Fahrenheit -- about 38.6 degrees Celsius -- (a good three degrees warmer than ours).
The only accurate way to check your cat's temperature at home is with a thermometer inserted into its rectum or ear. As you can understand, your cat wonât enjoy this procedure or being held against its will. In order to determine if you need to take your catâs temperature at all, you should look out for specific symptoms. Then youâll want to check its temperature with as little stress as possible. Lastly, if your catâs temperature exceeds 103 degrees Fahrenheit, you should seek help from your veterinarian.
