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.

Both my fans have "cages" with protective screening too
narrow for a paw to fit between the spaces! They were
neither of them very expensive and, although small, are big
enough to do the job. However, being small, I can set them
atop the chest of drawers or a bookcase, which makes them
less accessible to a curious cat.
