YES you are MUCH more susceptible to heat stroke now than a healthy cat who has never had heat stroke!
Ask your parents to provide you with a cool interior room of the house as your primary hang out spot.
On particularly hot days, have them wrap a bag of frozen veggies and place them under a light blanket on your bed for an extra cool napping place.
Also, when we get overheated, us kitties can paradoxically avoid the water we need - have your parents monitor this, and they can whet your appetite by carefully giving you some extra water with an eyedropper (just make sure they don't forcefully shoot it down into your lungs - just dribbles!)
You might also like an electrolyte replacement like Pedialyte - we ofen like the taste, and as an occasional treat on those really hot days, it can keep us more balanced.
You really should be just fine as long as your parents are sensible, keep you indoors, and keep you hydrated!
Best of luck!
