I've also put buckets of water outside for the wildlife.

 

I don't have air con and I have one very distressed kitty on my hands. She keeps pacing and meowing and licking my hand (a sign of distress in her). I keep wiping her down with wet towels and misting her but she hates that too. My little deaf kitty has snoozed all day with not a peep and fat Thai knows something isn't quite right but he's so laid back he's just flopping in a different part of the house on the hour.

Do you think your cats would use those pet cooling mats?   you could try with gel packs first, wrapped in towels maybe.

Google cat cooling mat - i saw some cat forums discussing them and eBay listings.

44.8C when I was driving around here in Adelaide about an hour or so ago 😞

Going kayaking after work to cool down 🙂

It's funny when you hear the radio announcer say ".... and the maximum today will be 42 degrees.  The current temperature is 44.8"

Enjoy your Kayaking tonight, West lakes or open water?

Thanks hawk - decided not to go - weather a bit iffy lol - was headed to Port Noarlunga, best of both worlds - calm river system and bit of open water. I am a bit of a kayak novice, still finding my way around.  You ?

just had a poor little parrot fly onto my back veranda gasping for water..Horrible to see them suffer..i have placed water dishes everywhere..We even have a small swarm of bees on the veranda that have also came down near the wet plants...

45.1 in SA I heard on the news on the way home. Hottest day on record since  1930-something!

Dreadfully hot, there may be something to the claims made by scientists where the climate is concerned.

45 on wednesday and 46 on thursday..not impressed
