The normal body temperature of an adult cat is generally between 37.7℃ and 39.2℃, with most cats having a normal body temperature above 38℃. Kittens generally have a higher body temperature than adult cats, and their body temperature will also be higher after exercise than at rest. A body temperature that is 0.5℃ to 1℃ higher than normal is considered a low-grade fever and can be observed. However, if the low-grade fever persists, consult a veterinarian.
If a cat's body temperature is 1°C to 2°C higher than normal, it can be considered a moderate fever, and you should definitely contact a veterinarian for advice. If a cat's body temperature is higher than 41.1°C, you need to take immediate measures to lower the temperature and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
