I usually make my ice packs by tossing a few ice cubes into a zip type plastic bag and zip shut. Then wrap in an old towel and put on the floor.
You can help cool the rooms down by running a fan and spraying a fine mist of cool water in the air. Also, wiping down the floors with cool water helps too.
These are things I did for years until I got a house with ac this year. I wouldn't have made it without them; neither would the cats.
Hope your heat wave breaks soon!!! Ours is to end for a few days later today, so they say!![]()
