I know overheating is deadly for chins, but do they know if they're warm/overheating?

I ask because my Squid LOVES crawling up in my hoodies or shirts to sleep while I'm watching TV or cuddle up right by the vent when the heat is on. I assumed he would know if he was too warm and move.

Though just now while he was in my hoodie, I checked on him and his ears were a bright red and he was quite warm, so I immediately pulled him out of my hoodie and he just looked at me like "stoopid hooman what are you doing, I was sleeping"

He had the option to leave, he wasn't blocked in whatsoever. So, do they know when theyre too warm?
