Wow - we HATE this weather..... it is supposed to be over 100 degrees every day this weekend. We hope those animals and people that don't have shelter can get some help. And if you have ferals, PLEASE put out water with ice.....
Mom noticed the other night that the a/c was working over time. She cleaned the filter (something she needs to do more often) and when that didn't help, she turned off the a/c part and left on the fan to avoid it REALLY breaking. And we all did this all night.....
The very nice heating/cooling guy came out yesterday morning and he added coolant and said the coiler had frozen (don't get that one - it is 95 degrees outside and 85 degrees inside but whatever). He said turning off the a/c helped but Mom should have turned off the fan as well. But - at least it wasn't a major repair. He did say the machine is about 12 years old, so it would seem that mom is gonna have to start saving the green papers for a new a/c machine.

You are all sprawled out on the floor and mom said she would love to be there with you. Good thing she isn't though cause she'd be trying to kiss and pet. You know how annoying humans can be. *I* sure do. xoxox
ReplyDeleteSure glad you had the AC fixed. Look at those hot little kitties. Stay as cool as you can. We are sick of this hot weather too. All of ours seem to be staying in the shade and are so far all right. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI NEVER thought I would say this... but it is TOOOOOOOO hot and I am thinkin of SNOW.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your AC sorted out - we hope it runs for a long time before it decides it's tired.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
I leave out a container of water for the neighborhood kitties. My own kitties don't like the "neighbors" but they just have to deal with it in the summer.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got the AC fixed for now. We just had a motor replaced in ours last year, but it's more than 10 years old and we don't know how much longer we'll have before needing to replace it.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness the a/c could be easily fixed. Can't imagine having no a/c during this hot spell.
ReplyDeleteWe've had that happen, too, and it's always at the WORST time!
ReplyDeleteHope it's good to go now!
Play bows,

glad to hear the AC is working again. you certainly need it! the poor long haired ferals, i bet they are having it rough.
ReplyDeleteWe hear that going flat helps with the heat!
ReplyDeleteThank COD the A/C man was able to repair your unit.
This is no time for the AC to break down - I'm glad it got fixed so fast!
ReplyDeleteWe are all glad your cool is back
ReplyDeletewe are feeling just like you guys hating this hooootttttt weather.....We sure are glad you guys got the ac fixed!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you've got the a/c functioing again. When it's so hot the kitties don't cuddle...that's too hot!

You KNOW it's hot when kittens dont sleep in a pile! After losing electricity, you all sure didn't need another air conditioner issue!
ReplyDeleteWow, you kitties sure ARE hot, when yer sprawled all out like THAT!
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad you got the a/c fixed easily! It's supposed to cool down here tomorrow. We CANNOT wait!
ReplyDeleteYou all do look hot. We were pretty hot today to, had a disc dog event in Dublin. Phew... we will be back at it again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHas your mom ever thought of a home warranty? They don't cost much and will replace your ac unit if it breaks, you just pay the $60 deductible.
your kitties.. they done near melted!
