I have a one year old male cat. He is not able to cope up with the summer heat as we live in India and summer is really intense. I feel he is getting tired and lays on the floor all day long. What can I do to keep him cool ?

Most cats become very inactive during hard summer, it's absolutely normal, as long as he has a cool surface to lay on and plenty of shade he should be fine. if you have a fan at home it can help but not all cats tolerate fans.
