What is a cat’s normal body temperature?

According to studies, the body temperature of a healthy, relaxed cat ranges from 36.7°C to 38.9°C.

Kittens and cats under stress, for example at the vet or while resisting a temperature check, or immediately after vigorous play may reach up to 39.8°C without necessarily being ill.
