So cats ONLY have sweat glands in their paws? They don't sweat under their fur or anywhere else?

Question

How do they cool off?

Answer 1

Yes.

They pant to keep cool. You dont usually see this as they are very tolerent to heat. Thats why they like to keep near a fire.

If hot they will lay in a cool place, in the shade etc. But they will pant on very hot days.

Answer 2

They also have them on their noses.On extremely hot days,or if the cat is stressed or has a fever,it will pant like a dog to cool itself off. This is why it's important to always have fresh water for your cats,and if they are outside,it's doubly important that you have a water source for them ,and bring them in when it is too hot. Better yet,keep them indoors all the time,as it is safer for them.
