SUN SAFETY
Updated: Apr 4, 2023
Now that the sun is (finally) out, it seems like a good time to remind cat owners that, just like humans, their cats are sensitive to the sun. Swipe for some tips on keeping your kitties cool, comfy and safe this summer.
Cats can get serious sun damage through their fur, and burns and cancer can occur - especially if they have pale ears or noses.
Here are some tips to keep your kitties cool, comfy and safe this summer!
1: Sunscreen! Apply some cat-safe sunscreen to ears, noses, and anywhere else that might catch the sun. (Talk to your vet about sunscreen made specifically for cats - human sunscreen may be toxic if licked!)
2: Shade! Make sure that there’s adequate shade in your house and garden - even leaving a box out for a shady nap-spot in will help.
3: Water! Make sure there is a good supply of fresh water around your house and garden - wide shallow bowls are the easiest on sensitive whiskers.
4: Keep an eye out! Signs of sun-damage include dark lesions that don’t heal, usually on the ears and/or nose. These can migrate to other areas of the face and become ulcerated. If you spot these symptoms on your cat, call your vet immediately! HOWEVER, these signs can take years to show in cats with sun damage, so it’s important to take measures to prevent the damage before it occurs!
From all of us at London Inner City Kitties, have a lovely summer, and stay safe!

I totally agree—taking a break after diving into parametric design is essential! It's funny because parametric modeling is all about spotting tiny parameter changes, which actually reminds me of That's Not My Neighbor. In that game, you inspect subtle details and IDs to catch fake neighbors trying to sneak in. It’s light, addictive, and perfect for resetting your brain!
I completely agree with the article’s insistence on checking the UV index before stepping outside; that simple habit has become a cornerstone of my daily routine. Every morning I glance at my phone’s weather app, note the UV number, and then decide whether to wear my broad‑brimmed hat or add an extra layer of SPF. I’ve also started timing my sunscreen reapplication with my coffee breaks—every 90 minutes I splash a dab on my face, arms, and the backs of my hands, which are the spots that usually get missed. It’s surprising how that tiny ritual eliminates the sting of late‑day sunburn that used to ruin my evenings. Since adopting the “UV‑check‑and‑reapply” combo, I’ve noticed my skin feels less tight…
