Heat

It sure is hot out these days! Make sure you're keeping yourself and your furry beloved nice and cool!

You can putt some ice cubes in their water bowls, bring out a kiddie pool for them to frolic in, or even make them a frozen treat! And if you live around wildlife, stray cats and dogs, please try to keep some cool water outside for them! They would definitely appreciate that.

Stay cool, friends! 

Have you been outside recently? It is unbearable hot out! 

We need to cool down and ASAP. And what better way to cool down than to enjoy a refreshing cold popsicle? 

We'll do you one better -- animals enjoying a refreshing cold popsicle! We hope everyone is taking good care of themselves and their pets! Be sure to drink a lot of water and perhaps leave some water outdoors for the wildlife to enjoy and cool down with. 

Have this treat on us! 

This Maine coon is definitely having a Hot girl Cat Summer! 

Tissy, a 5-year-old Maine Coon from Pennsylvania is fighting the stereotype that all felines hate water. Not only does Tissy love water, she goes swimming in the family pool at least once a week (supervised, of course). 

Tissy was adopted five years ago by the Herr family after she was rescued as a kitten from a busy parking lot. The Herrs didn't know at the time that tiny, flea-covered kitten would grow up to be so large and fluffy! 

Tissy's owner, Sonny told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "People say it's crazy, but she's just a laid-back cat that loves to swim."

And while we're so happy that all cats found inside were unharmed, this is simply not OK. 

Thank goodness someone called Fargo police about the cats left inside a minivan, in over 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.6 Celsius)! 

Sgt Mike Bernier of the Fargo police, told SkyNNC, that the poor cats inside the van were panting and in distress in the 80-degree heat. He also mentioned that the window of van was slightly cracking, and the van smelled heavily of cat urine. 

What better way to cool off than by enjoying some delicious ice cream? The answer? There isn't a better way. Just look at these adorable cats and their little sandpaper tongues -- oh so happy with their ice cream! 

Leaving your pet in the car for a few minutes may seem harmless to some, but the temperatures inside a car parked in the heat — even those parked in the shade — rise quickly the second the vehicle turns off. Pets left behind in hot cars, have to endure temperatures well over 100 degrees that can lead to illness and death. In order to prevent that, Tesla officially introduced a new feature on Thursday called "Dog Mode" that aims to keep owners' pets comfortable while left unattended in the vehicle while allowing drivers to set a comfortable temperature for their pets before leaving the vehicle. 

It's way too hot this summer and these animals are trying to deal with it. 

Ireland was recently struck with heatwaves and it doesn't seem to be cooling down anytime soon. So in an attempt to keep that animals at Dublin Zoo nice and cool, the Zoo decided to treat the animals to some icy cold... treats! Yasmina the red panda is one example, with a fruit-filled block of ice., and the photos will melt your heart!
