Ciao eveyone! I'm from Moscow and it's been very hot here for about 5 weeks, no rain, and things don't seem to get any better soon. It's 35 degrees C in the shadow almost every day. The peatbogs located in Moscow suburb began to burn and all the city is wrapped in smog&smoke. 
I wonder how I can help my only cat to overcome this awful weather. She seems pretty well , though she is rather inactive and sleeping or lying almost all the day (I'd gladly do the same but for work). Is there anything I can do to make her feel better? What do you usually do when your cat or dog suffers from heat?

I think cats are very adaptable - mine likes being in a cool place, but she also goes and sits in the sun. Cats like warmth! And cats are always inactive and sleep a lot...:-)
What my cat really loves in summer is for me to stroke her with very, very wet hands! She ends up looking like a rat!! A lot of hair comes out at the same time, which helps her, I guess. Then she spends hours grooming herself.
I don't think you need to worry about your cat - leave plenty of water around for her and she'll find a place where she is comfortable.
Drinking plenty is crucial for yourself also - sorry about the fires! Good luck, Jonie
