Yes cats can die from the heat and can overheat just like humans can.

When it's too hot out and the cat has no cool shelter or shade then the cat can get too hot and then die from the heat.

So make sure to keep enough water for the cat at all times and make sure to bring your cat inside the house when it's hot out.

Let the cat into the house in an air conditioned space or at least have a fan to blow air on them to keep them cool.

If you need to leave your house just turn the air conditioner to a temperature that will keep the cat cool enough but also save you money.

Turning the air conditioner off all the way can cause the cat to overheat and suffer heat exhaustion.

Cats can overheat and die of the heat much faster than humans can because of the fur that cats have.

Even dogs can overheat easily and die of the heat.
