Is 85 degrees too hot for my cats if my AC is out for two days?

Question

My AC is out in my apartment and can’t be replaced for two days. It’s around 85 degrees in here. Will my 2 cats be okay in this temperature? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | 10 lbs

If you are able to sit in your apartment without distress, then your kitties if they are in good health should be able to tolerate it, but I would provide plenty of cool water and fans to help cool them, and if they show signs of distress such as excessive panting or lethargy/decreased appetite consider bringing them to a friend's house or boarding them somewhere with air conditioning. If they have any underlying health problems it may be more dangerous for them/possible for them to become overheated.
