Just curious....how low do people turn the heat down during the day (when

they
are at work, etc), for the cats? We leave ours at about 60, but I'm

wondering
if it's more than they need.

I leave mine at 67 (but I live in East Texas, where bills for heating are
not bad). My highest bills are for air conditioning in the summer. I like
it fairly cool, so I generally set the thermostat for 72 in the summer when
I am home and raise it to 75 when I will be gone for the day. Incidentally,
I don't think there is a great deal of savings (at least in this climate) if
the temperature is altered drastically for the day because then it takes
more time to raise/lower the temperature to the "desired" level after I
return home.
