Rather than tying icepacks on the cat (an interesting mental image) try rubbing their bellies with a wet washcloth (soaked in regular or ice water). 'Tis what my vet recommended and it seems to take the edge off the heat for my fuzzballs. I also try rubbing their heads with it, too, but they've made it clear that they'll only hold still for so much...
