Cats in Summer

lyornI have a balcony that catches the afternoon and evening sun. This time of year, on sunny days, it's at least 45°C (110°+ F) out there when I come home in the early evening. The cats want the balcony door to be open and enjoy the summer, the warmth, and the early-evening moths. I want to keep the heat out.
So, yesterday, I took a large bath towel, put it outside right in front of the balcony door and emptied a bucket of water on it to cool the air before it could get in.
Three guesses where the cats preferred to lie?
Yeah, right. On the soaking wet towel.
Only after the sun had set, they spend the rest of the night on the outside scratching barrel, where it was drier.
I took pictures, but they do not show how wet this towel was!
How do your cats deal with the summer?
