How to know if your cat is sunburnt and what to do about it

If your feline friend loves to bake in the sun, beware of the risks that come with that, especially if your cat is prone to sunburn and solar dermatitis. Generally cats with white or light fur or those without fur are at risk.

Keep an eye on the tips of the ears, nose, eyelids, and belly, as these are common burn zones. Prolonged sun exposure can lead not only to solar dermatitis but also to potentially cancerous conditions like squamous cell carcinoma.
