When it's sizzling out and it seems just as hot inside, you can give kitty some instant relief with a nice big bag of frozen peas* to use as their personal "chillow." And to make sure your cool cat stays that way all day while you're out and about, freeze a couple of large plastic beverage bottles filled with water (not all the way to the top, so they don't burst), cover them in towels, and let your pal stretch out next to these instant personal air conditioners. (Probably not a great idea for your pup, though, if s/he is a chewer at all; swallowed plastic bits are just too dangerous to risk!)
Of course you'll want to put out bowls of fresh water, and maybe a bowl or two just filled with ice cubes that can melt for cool water.
A big water bowl next to your furbaby's favorite napping spot is always a good idea during these lazy days when it's too hot to move, and try to make sure Kitty has access to a room with a nice cool floor to stretch out on, like the bathroom, or kitchen.
* and later you can have some quick and easy chilled pea salad for supper
