I have read through the thread, and it seems like people have various opinions/experience.... I live in New Hampshire in a tiny 2nd floor apt.
It gets brutal in here in the summertime... Like, 85-90, at least. I have a fan but no a/c. Will my kitty be okay? I've always had outdoor cats growing up, and they were fine in the heat.
Also, I've seen pressure-activated cooling mats on Amazon but they are marketed for dogs. Has anyone tried this for their cats? My cat would probably use it as she loves sleeping on textured or noisy surfaces (plastic bags, newspapers, her SmartyKat Krackle sak (LOVES it).
Thanks for any advice!

Where I live is central air, but it only turns on when the air immediately outside the thermometer area is a certain Temp. When I go away for the weekend in the Summer t's set to 75. The little wing of the house my cats are in probably gets warmer than the hallway where the thermometer is, but there is a 2 inch door gap where air circulates. I always worry about them, but when I return they seem fine. I think the cooling pads are great idea. Definitely going to try them for my cats.
