It’s getting hot here ☀️ even this close to the Ocean, we’re feeling it in Southern California!

Using an ice pack that can be re-freezed (I got these on Amazon) wrapped loosely in a dish towel is an easy way I keep my cats cool when temperatures rise. They’ll sleep with their paws or faces against the cool pack. Cats also love access to cool dirt and tile floors. Watch for signs of heat stroke in your animals and get them care immediately if you observe rapid breathing (watch their bellies) and/or open mouth breathing in cats.

In the evening I leave out bowls of water for the raccoons and possums that come around at night. Wildlife needs our help too!
