That's so sweet! I know the problem, my kitties are intrigued by the fan too. Maybe you can try tying a few colorful strings to the middle of the front screen so that they blow and twirl when the fan is on. That should create enough distraction. It did for my kitties. Of course they try to catch the strings, but that's not a bit as dangerous as trying to catch the blades.
Purrs,

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.
