they fking sleep on radiators!!
I think they would probably be a bit annoyed if they were on fire but they'd be 'actually' ok with the heat!
I've actually had a cat with his tail wafting over the fire to the extent that it was smoking........ He was still quite happy until we put his tail out........I think they would probably be a bit annoyed if they were on fire but they'd be 'actually' ok with the heat!

...but I've never seen a cat panting!
Was on holiday in Rhodes last summer where temperatures were well above 30°C. We had a little stray cat come to our villa most days and we would give him some milk/water. It was so hot one day that the poor mite was panting, we both commented that we'd never seen a cat pant before!Planet Claire said:

Aaaw blessCats sweat through their pads when they're hot or stressed. You will usually see little paw prints of sweat on the examination table at the vets.
Cats can pant but only normally do so when they are suffering from heatstroke. A cat panting when it isn't hot can be a sign of quite serious illness.

One of mine stands at the bathroom door and protests loudly until I run an inch of cold water into the bath. Then she jumps in a goes for a paddle.
