The domestic cat body temperature is 38.3 degrees F when normal. The full range is shown in the chart above. The body temperature is higher than for humans because cats are smaller and have higher metabolic rates to make up for a greater heat loss.
Note: Some older videos on this page were hosted on Vimeo. That account has now been retired, so a few video blocks may appear blank. Thanks for understanding — there’s still plenty of cat content to enjoy!
