What's the best home temperature for my cat, especially in hot Florida?

Question

What is the optimal temperature we should keep our home for our cat? My significant other worries he is too cold, and I worry he is too hot. :) We live in Florida, where temperatures are frequently in the 90s or above during summer and fall months. Thanks for your help! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 7 months old

Cats tend to do well at similar temperatures as humans. I think leaving your house around 70-72F would be fine. A little warmer or colder also would not hurt. Cats tend to enjoy being warm so you may find him seeking out sunny spots in the house to sun bathe. He will move once he gets too warm. I hope this helps!
