Hi all,
I posted about a guy living in his truck with his five cats a couple of weeks ago. I never heard from him so yesterday, seeing that it was going to be around 95 degrees for five days, I called him and offered to babysit his cats while it's this hot. I think he was a bit reluctant at first as he's never been away from his cats for ten years but he recognized that being in a truck in 90 degree weather is really hard on a cat so he came to look at my spare room that they'd stay in while here. He finally agreed to leave them here at least until tomorrow.
They aren't going to stay here for any longer period of time. Just while it's really hot. My idea is to have him drop them off in the morning on hot days and pick them up in the evening when it's cooler. If it remains hot in the evening they can stay overnight. I'm hoping that he'll let them stay here for the next five days while it's hot and just come visit them in the afternoon. He doesn't want to be away from them too long but I'm hoping he'll be okay with it if he can come visit them. It's going to be way too hot for them to be in the truck even in the evenings now so I really don't want them to spend the nights in the truck right now.
The poor cats were all panting when they came. They have a fan and open windows but it's still pretty hot. One of the cats were panting and breathing fast for a while after they came inside but now they all seem okay. Two of them are being super friendly and have made themselves at home already but the others are a bit nervous. Two of them - two pretty big boys - have squeezed themselves into the same carrier. But they are safe and sound...and cool!
