I am super worried about my 3 kitties and looking for any advice. I tried looking up info online but most sites just have the obvious answers and lots of scary info that probably made me worry even more!
My AC is broken in my apartment. After us bugging them a second time they finally sent someone to fix it today. The guy was here for 3 hours and it seemed like it might be working, he left and then it stopped working again
It is up over 100 degrees inside our place. We have the windows open and fans galore going but it is very little help. I am literally feeling sick from how hot it is.
My cats are used to AC and are really hating this heat. But I am also worried about them. They spend almost all day laying on the bathroom floor. It is the coolest room in the apartment. But still very hot. They are in no way their lively selves. In the very early morning is about they only time they are doing anything.
I am keeping tons of fresh cool water down and put fans on the floor but I can't put a fan in the bathroom because we don't have a plug in there! I also dipped their paws in water because I read that it can help.
Two of the cats are short fur but one is a huge poofy furball, we joke that he is all fur and nothing else lol. He seems to be doing the worst.
I just know how horrible I feel and I hate to see them suffer too. I am watching them closely for any signs of heatstroke.
But does anyone have any suggestions on other things to help them? Should I dip their whole bodies in water every few hours or maybe if I set a wet towel on the floor they would lay on it? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much.
