Lately it has been reaching 30'c and mitzi just doesn't know what to do with herself.


she's been sick several times because of it, she is up all night because she is too hot to sleep and generally pithering around. So to help keep her cool we leave fans on when we're not in the room and give her a rubdown with a wet towel - much to her disgust.


so, how do your kitties cope in this hot weather? or how do you help them keep cool?

Bathrooms tend to be good places for them to hang out, since the tub and the linoleum/tile tend to be cooler on their bodies. I've had a few cats who would sleep in the tub.

Pumpkin used to stretch out in the shower on the tiles. The temperature got a bit out of control here last summer, and I wound up getting a window AC unit... it's a small one, only pulls 540 watts on full power. Kitties love it.
