It\\\’s a good idea to keep the fans running for you and for the cat. Also, just leaving a fresh bowl of COLD water throughout the day will be fine. As long as the cat has shade, and water so it will not dehydrate, then it should be fine! Water us most important, though.

I totally agree. And remember, people, ANY cat can overheat, regardless of the length of its fur.
