Yes, cats can actually get sunburn. Cats are especially prone to sunburn on areas that are not covered by fur. If you notice that your cat as pinkish skin then check closely to see if this is due to a skin irritation or possibly sunburn. You should also talk to your vet to find out what can be done for the sunburn. Cats with light colored ears are particularly prone to getting sunburn on the tips or edges of their ears. There are sunscreens available to help protect your cat from sunburn. Talk to your vet to find out which ones can be used. Sunscreens with titanium dioxide as the active ingredient are recommended for areas of your cat that are exposed to the sun. Again, find one that is approved by your vet. If you don’t have sunscreen, you can always cover your cat with a pet t-shirt to help protect the skin. Learn more here or call your vet Savannah, GA.
