Pictures of Luna and Lily during the heat wave

It's very hot here, and the air in my apartment is muggy and very warm, so the girls (well, not only the girls!) are suffering.

Lily:

I got a new fan today, and Lily was approaching it VERY carefully: ;)

Luna and Lily being petted with a wet washcloth. Luna really enjoys it, while Lily loves licking the cool and wet tissue:

Poor hot girls. Looks like they are dealing it with as best they can. I love the wachcloth idea and how cute that Lily licks it.

Isn't it amazing how LONG they can stretch out!!!!!

Poor Babies! and Poor YOU too!!!

We've been having a heat wave here too. Ours is supposed to end this evening for a few days. I hope yours ends soon too!

Kristen-

Have you tried an Ice bag?

When I had to take Lucky to the vet that was 1 hour away, he got stressed out even though he was in a a/c car. The vet recommended that I take one of those bags that contains stuff that will freeze, but slowly. I did that, and put an old towel between the ice and cat.......he LOVED it! Kept him cool and calm. And when you have a calm kitty in the car for an hour, that is GOOD!!!! :D

More than ever I am glad that they have the Found Cat Hotel enclosed porch where theres at least a breeze.

The Tigris, being half Siberian lies as stretched as your kits at this heat- but Filou, being Abyssinian (which means not Abyssinian but South East Asian origin) looks for the extra warm spots even now :)

Oh dear - Lily does NOT look happy here:

It's hot in San Francisco too. My two were crashed out with the heat until almost 10:00 last night when it finally was cool enough for them to venture out and eat - just in time for ME to go to bed :rolleyes:

They are both miserable in this heat and it's kind of muggy here too. Mitzi I think is the worst as she has an extra-thick wooly undercoat. Mishi plays in the bathtub to stay cool and then comes dashing around the apartment all wet and goofy and cool. I love my silly boy. :D

Luna and Lily also look more and more miserable, and they barely eat. I feel so sorry for them and wish I could help them, but this heat is going to last for many more days - or even weeks... :(
