I just spoke to my mother, and appearantly Peggy had a heat stroke this afternoon!
We have this horrible heat wave here, with temperatures about 100°F, and Peggy, who was supposed to stay in the cool living room, decided to sleep upstairs in the attic room, where it was really hot.
Well, This afternoon, my mother suddenly got a strong feeling to better look after Peggy, and she found her motionless on her chair, she didn't respond to her, and didn't wake up. My mother took her downstairs, and even while she was carried around, she was still lethargic. She took her to the bathroom where she rubbed cool water into her fur, and finally Peggy reacted to this, and started licking off the water. After that, she was back to normal. But how scary is that???
Luna, btw, was also lethargic last night, and then she threw up. The heat here is not only dangerous to humans, but also to pets.

Ebbs (and Bob) seem to be doing ok so far, though Ebbs is somewhat lethargic and was off her food a bit for a few days.
