Cats and other small animals are not as consistent in their systemic temperature as humans, and the fluctuations you see are not uncommon. The problem is that the more you worry, the more you measure the temperature and the more of these fluctuations you will see. For this reason, we are not very afraid of these fluctuations. It is much worse when temperatures are consistently higher than 39.5 ° C. It is important to note the overall condition of the cat, its appetite, activity levels and clinical signs. In short, fluctuations like these are fine unless they become permanent and are associated with loss of appetite and activity. If your cat is otherwise well and there is no evidence of a persistent fever, we recommend that the cat be only at home, where it is possible to protect it from unnecessary stress and monitor it closely.
