It has been hot this week. So hot that I finally took the fan out of
the closet and set it up. The whole time I set it up, I worried that
the noise might scare Little Miss. After all, she dives for the closet
when the vaccuum starts up.

But did she dive for the closet? No, not my Little Miss. She went
straight for that fan and sniffed it all over, and tried to stick her
nose right between the screen that protects the blades. When, of
course, I would not let her go after those blades, she then tried to
swat at them as they slowed down to a stop. She was still swatting as
the fan went back into the closet.

*sigh* Luckily, I live in western Washington. It does not get that hot,
except for this time of year. I'll have to figure out a cat-proof way
to bring the fan out again. I hear it's going to be hot for a while.

and itchy Little Miss


Gross Warning!

I'm afraid of fans because of what happened when I was a child (back in the
stone age). We lived in New Orleans back before central air conditioning
(and even before window units were popular) and the house we had had a huge
fan in the ceiling of the hallway that sucked air into the attic. That,
combined with window fans usually kept the house livable.

However, one day our little parakeet got loose from her cage and started
flying around the house. Yep, you guessed it, she got sucked up into the
big attic fan and feathers and blood sprayed everywhere. I was
*horrified*!! The only fans I'll use now are the ones completely covered
with a grill.
