Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2007Fan fan
Frank and Nikki used to hate my table fan. They didn't like wind in general - on the island they would stay inside as much as possible on a windy day. They never could understand why Meowmie would want it to be windy inside. Last night, it was very hot, and I took out my fan and set it on my bedside table because I like it to be cool in my bedroom at night. I assumed I wouldn't have any feline company that night. Sure enough, Miranda didn't come near the bed, but just as I was drifting off, I felt a big weight landing on the bed. Caliban came prancing up to the fan, very excited, checked it out, and then flopped down between my face and the fan. Actually, in my face. Soon the fan was blowing my nose full of Cali hair. Every now and then, Cal got up and walked about a bit in the breeze, then flopped down again between me and the fan. He obviously loved it. I had been thinking that he didn't like the heat a lot, but this was still a surprise. He didn't mind the inside wind at all.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

He didn't mind the inside wind at all. Awwww, that's sweet. My Merlyn girl is heat intolerant. She pants and is miserable when it's hot. I took her to the vet, and he could find nothing wrong with her. So I figured out we was heat intolerant. Which is what her behavior told me. She *lives* in the "Cool Room" in the summer. And she will get right in front of the A/C and sleep. Right now, Katie, Arthur and Merlyn are all curled up on the bed. Merlyn is right where the cool air comes out, her huge amount of fur just blowing in the wind. Ginger-lyn > Right now, Katie, Arthur and Merlyn are all curled up on the bed. Merlyn > is right where the cool air comes out, her huge amount of fur just > blowing in the wind. I can imagine how that looks. What was so annoying was that the fan kept blowing all the loose hairs from Caliban's fur into my face while I was trying to sleep. :P SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I imagine that would be a sleep-depriver! Nothing like a cat hair up your nose to keep you awake. Ginger-lyn > Frank and Nikki used to hate my table fan.

He didn't mind the inside wind at all. Persia is quite used to the inside fans. I have a few box fans that I set on the floor. She doesn't sit right in front of them but she doesn't mind them, either. It's too darn hot here for me not to have fans running. I have A/C but if I didn't keep it turned up high and not run fans the bill would kill me! I tried sitting outside with Persia yesterday (it was a very humid 94F degrees) and couldn't tolerate it... she was more than happy to come inside and sit on the couch where the breeze of a fan was blowing!

He didn't mind the inside wind at all. Pearl doesn't like "inside wind" either, but Sugar doesn't mind at all and she adores the sucky in side. I have one of those tall tubular fans and that is really super well protected from "rubbing". Marina! you know why the header got my attention! =) ('fan' is a swear word in Swedish and caught my eye directly, even more fun when it was Swedish speaking Marina posting ..) I'm sure running the fan here too, some 30 C over the weekend, it wasn't even too bad to swim and the water ususally takes some time to warm up, it was at least some 20 C which is good for the water in Öresund. good thing Thea & Bono already headed up north with my parents, they get to start their summer holidays early, this way I can keep my windows wide open. But it's still 27 C - much too warm for sleeping comfortably. I'm on the top floor of the apartment building and the sun frying the roof all day heats the place up skritches Signaturelewe lewemi at yahoo dot se | cats' pics: photos.yahoo.com/lewemi > Frank and Nikki used to hate my table fan.

I thought that would get your attention. :) 'Fan' means the Devil, and it's a fairly mild expletive, so it's not like I've cursed everyone into kingdom come. > I'm sure running the fan here too, some 30 C over the weekend, it wasn't > even too bad to swim and the water ususally takes some time to warm up, it > was at least some 20 C which is good for the water in Öresund. Mum's on the island. The water's 15 C there. She still takes her morning dips. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Yesterday's heat index (a measure of how hot it feels, based on how humid it is and the actual temperature) here in Austin was 103 F (39.4 C). Not sure about water temperatures at the local lakes, but I'm sure they're fairly warm. :) SignatureVictor M.

West Texas is desert, so yes, it's dry. East and Central Texas is very humid... SignatureVictor M.

East and Central Texas adjoin the Gulf of Mexico, so get moisture from the sea air. West Texas is inland, and the prevailing winds are from the west, so it is upwind of the coast. SignatureJohn F.

Oh. I had a completely different concept of it. Some body part or other. <shame on me> I was running fans here until yesterday, when the temp dropped to a pleasant level, and last night I needed a light blanket!

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. We have central heat/air conditioning, so Captain and Stanley are used to the "indoor wind" that emanates from the air vents that are at floor level. Captain, in particular, likes to park his stripey self in front of an air vent when it's winter and the heater is running. :o) Yet another reason why if you want to find the most comfortable place in the house, look for the cat. He or she will be napping there. ;o) Donna, Captain, and Stanley |
