Excessive heat warnings used to be the exception, not the norm, but sadly, they’re becoming routine even in parts of the world unaccustomed to extreme temperatures. We know by now that extreme heat and humidity can be as dangerous to cats as it is people, and even indoor cats may need protection from the heat. But how hot is too hot for your cat?
The folks at PetMd.com shared a simple graphic that answers this question.
Resources to keep your cats cool
Last month we shared 9 Ways to Keep Your Cats Cool on Hot Summer Days.
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed our favorite whole room tower fan for you: Review: Honeywell Quiet Set Whole Room Tower Fan. It’s been a lifesaver for us!
Cooling mats or blankets can be helpful for some cats. Allegra likes the PetFusion Premium Cooling Blanket shown below.
How do you keep your cats and yourself cool during these insanely hot temperatures?

My girls aren’t too happy, but I have been keeping the blinds closed lately because letting too much light inside makes the house hotter. I keep the ceiling fans on too, but I also like a stand up fan. I really like the one you’re showing here. I wish I could do something for the feral cats here. I always worry about them in the hot summer and winter when we get a freeze.
I tried to close the blinds yesterday, but Allegra protested. Of course, she got her way. 🙂
