Soulwatcher Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Summer is fast approaching and the summer heat is already here. Yesterday was 81* and today right now its 77* with a real feel of 84. And when the weather is like this our cats Alice and Missy lay around the house and don't do much. How about you? How does your cat handle the heat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elseb Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 My cats generally will sit in the conservatory and try and keep in the shade so they don't overheat. Delicate balance for them as they do like a bit of heat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toletia Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Alice and Missy usually lay in a room without the AC on but will come to a cool room if they get too warm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Smokey always hated the heat during the summer months. Each year it would get hotter and we would have frequent heat waves and she always struggled in them. The year she passed, July 2022, a few weeks later we had the hottest heatwave we have ever had and I was thankful that she did not have to go through that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told a lot of people in England do not have it because it doesn't get as hot over there as it does in the United States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love an air conditioning system though, would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets extremely hot here in Michigan during the summer. I would die if I didn't have air because of my meds I don't sweat. And I overheat quickly.

You must have to stay in the shade a lot when you're out and about i guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Van has air conditioning and all of the stores we go to have air conditioning too. Also, we don't go out on the 90*+ days unless we have to.

Progrumz Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 We always have the inside climate controlled, so it never really gets hot enough to bother the cat. Even if it did get hot, I doubt it would bother her much. She's pretty lazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elseb Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 My house is really warm today and the cats have been laid out of the floor all day, think they've enjoyed it though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet she is enjoying it. 5 hours ago, Elseb said: My house is really warm today and the cats have been laid out of the floor all day, think they've enjoyed it though! Awwww....... it has been hot here today too and even though we have our window air conditioning on our girls are laid out in bed. Our window air conditioning can only cool so much.

Elseb Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Been really hot here over the last few days, especially inside my house. We've had to get the fans out for the cats, they've been finding it a bit tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I respect you for getting the fans out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
