  While cats remain blissfully unconcerned about unsightly tan lines, the truth is that even indoor cats can suffer from sunburn. Ultraviolet rays penetrate windows and may singe the nose and ear tips of felines who lay for hours soaking up the rays. (Um, wouldn’t that be all cats?)

White cats are particularly vulnerable. Though it may be difficult to keep kitty out of the sun, you can apply small amounts of sunblock to sensitive areas.
