Look at my poor girls! We have a heatwave for a couple of days now, and my apartment is hot as hell. Luna and Lily are spending most of their time sleeping, and they look really miserable.

I found Luna lethargic on the floor earlier today, but stroking her with a wet washcloth seemed to make her feel better.

Here are my girls - and no comments on their bellies, please! ;)

BTW, do you see the cushion Lily is sleeping on? Found out today that Luna has peed right next to it on the carpet, and now Lily's little bed smells like a litter box! :eek: Luckily I found a good enzyme spray that removes the smell!

I'm going to comment on their bellies anyway. I :love: them!!! :D
Those are my most favorite.....big fluffy tabby bellies. :)
When I lived in a hot(er) area Taz would sleep in the bathroom sink. Partly because it's cool and the swamp cooler blew right in that spot.

Pet Luna and Lily's bellies for me please!! :D :D

Kirsten, it's unbearable here too - 29C in my flat, and it's after 8 PM! Heatwave or not, Luna and Lily look adorable, and Fister and I certainly understand they don't want to move an inch!

I put a wet washing cloth around Fister's neck a few times today, and I have a wet towel laying on the floor, so he can sit on that now and again. :cool:

Let's hope this is over soon!!

@Taz_Zoee: The belly rubs will soon be delivered! :)

@lvpets2002, oh, I would also have the ac running for them, but in Germany, the houses usually have none...

@Randi: Same here, 29°C yesterday in the evening, absolutely unberable! I'm sure the wet towel is a huge relief for Fister!

Lily and Luna, I hope the weather will cool off very soon. I like the idea of a cool cloth.

The girls sure look like they're doing the right thing to stay cool!

If all else fails... SLEEP!:p

Such adorable girls! Sorry you are all suffering with a heat wave. They are unbearable, and and me and my girls are fortunate to have ac. But they LOVE the wondows open and a cool breeze. They will sit in the windows for hours!

Hope everything cools off soon, but in the meantime, please deliver some belly rubs to those sweet girls!

I FIND THAT WHEN IT GETS REALLY HOT, THEY HEAD FOR THE PORCH, OR SOMETIMES THE BASEMENT AS THATS ABOUT 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE HOUSE.
ONCE I PATCH UP THE POUNCER ROCCALNO ESCAPRE ROUTE AND IF ITS OVER 100, I WILL SLEEP DOWNSTAIRS AND I BET THE FOUND ACTS JOIN ME.
CAN YOU PUT AN AIR CONDITIONER IN THE WINDOW KIRSTENOR AT LEAST HAVE FANS GOING TO COOL LILY AND LUNA OFF?:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Hi Kirsten, I can't tell you how great it is to see you and your lovely kitty girls again! This has been a horrible summer here too, the fourth heat wave of the season is moving in according to local news reports. During the day, Soncat and I are both at work. To help Groucho beat the heat, Soncat keeps his window shades down and his fan on so Groucho can relax and stay reasonably cool. Not everyone can do this but Soncat comes home on his lunch hour to check on our little guy and give him fresh, cool water. In this weather we change his water frequently and just let him find a spot he finds comfortable.
As for the two gorgeous tummys, could I ask you to give each of them some rubs from me? When the heat breaks, of course.....

Thanks, also for your advices how to keep the kitties cool!

It has cooled off a bit today, not much but I was able to get some fresh air in here, and the girls were more active today, but the next heatwave with even higher temperatures is just around the corner *yuck*

Gary, it's so cute how the Found Cats enjoy the fan! :) I also have a fan running, but I cannot affort ac...
