My poor babies have been so hot the last few days. This surprise hot weather during April is making them pooped out. What are you doing to help your cats? We have the fans on but it just seems to be moving the stale air around. Any suggestions?

When it gets so hot here, I take out huge bowls of water and set them in front of the fan (I also add a bunch of ice to them) I set the fan on a chair in front of the window and direct the fan down to the bowl- this bounces the breeze off the bowl, makes the air cool down and helps some. Other than just giving them fresh water daily and taking their toys away, (so they don't overdue)

Lots of water and keep them inside where it's temperature controlled. Also my Loki loves to plant himself on the hall way tiles for cooling off.

I put ice in their water, I wet the tub a little bit since it's cool and they like to lie in it, I keep the curtains closed so that the heat won't come in as much and the thing that works best is I shave their bellies so that when they lie down on tile or the tub they can cool off easily.
