Summers can be very hot in Dubai. Sometimes the temperature exceeds 40 °C, and it becomes difficult for cats. Dubai Vet often advises owners to create safe corners where pets can feel at ease. My neighbour told me that her Siamese cat first hid in the closet, and then began to explore the terrarium, which imitated the desert.
Why is it Important for Cats to Adapt to the Heat?
Cats are by nature inhabitants of semi-deserts. Their ancestors lived in conditions of heat and sun, so the cat’s body can tolerate high temperatures, but in a city apartment everything is different. In summer in Dubai, a cat can overheat even at home if there is no shade or cool place.
How the Terrarium Works
The terrarium looks like a desert with rocks, sand, and some plants. It stays the right temperature, and UV lights help the cat stay healthy. My neighbour saw her cat was calmer and hid less.
Tips for the Owner
To comfortable the cat:
- Place a bowl of cold water near it.
- The shelters where the cat can hide in the shade.
- Limit active games during hot hours.
- Observe the pet’s behaviour: if it is looking for coolness or hiding, give it time to rest.
Dubai Vet reminds us that regular checkups help to notice signs of overheating or stress in a cat in time.
Conclusion
Indoor
terrariums with desert simulation help cats adapt to the hot climate of Dubai. Make a safe, cool place. The cat will stay healthy and calm, even when it’s hot.
