Shouldn’t it be the most comfortable temperature? 🤔

    I’ve often wondered about our furred friends. Don’t dogs and cats have an internal temp around 101°F (39°C)? That is what searching tells me. I’d think it’s a function of the fur but I’m not sure how it works per cooling.

      Google says you’re right. I guess that would make them a little more heat tolerant than we are. I knew they were a few degrees off and that reduces the number of viruses we can share, because most of them are tuned to very specific host body conditions.
