To the op Right now my parents and I have 5 cats And we love them and we'll for the a/c being on You don't want the cats to die from the heat do you? Because if they did that would be cruel

As it's already been said, domesticated cats can't tolerate the same conditions as the big cats. Yes, they seek out warm spots to lay in, but they don't like being too warm. Summer heat can cause severe dehydration and even heat stroke. If the temperatures are high, it is necessary to turn on the air conditioning to protect the health of your pets, though you don't need to keep it too cool, just enough that the cats won't overheat. Furthermore, having five cats is not that extreme. We had twice that many in our house when we were fostering kittens. For those who are saying they should get rid of the cats, it's not that simple. Humans form very strong bonds with their pets, and the pets also become very attached to their owners. Sometimes when pets are separated from their owners, they can become depressed (I've seen it before).

Well, yes! Since Summers became hotter than hell, you're supposed to make sure your pets don't die from the heat. And 5 cats isn't an obsession, it's a healthy medium. Alternatively, she could leave the air conditioning on in one room. If the ******* get overheated, they can use it to cool off.

You should keep it on anyway, we keep it at 72 degrees from April to October and the bill is only $220 a month
