I turn mine down to 55 at night and only raise it to 60 during the day,
unless I am teaching at home, when I raise it to 65. It's all I can afford. I've done it this way for years and I have 11 healthy cats and a collie. It does get crowded in the bed at night, though! "JLove98905" wrote in message ... 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. -Jen Half the people you know are below average. -Steven Wright |

Here in WI we use 67 while we're home and 60 during the day (62 at night). Cats have fur and can
keep warm. We have strays that live outside where it's 20 degrees so there's no worries about it being too cold for the cats.

That definately depends on the type of heating used. I have a heat pump and live in the east where it gets cold in the winter. There is a huge difference depending on if you're raising the temp, (winter) or lowering it (summer) when you come home. -- Cheryl I should have thought of that. I grew up in Ohio, and we used a heat pump. It was great, but it definitely would not fit my description. MaryL |
