Electric fans and pets

Damifino! My cats will cluster in front of any source of heat in the winter, though. Not one of them will sit in front of a fan.

All the dogs I know hog fans.

If you want to find the coolest place in a yard in the summer, watch where the dog stretches out.

In the summer you will find Setanta on one side of the bed, clinging to the mattress, me on the other side, holding onto the mattress handle, and the dogs in the middle - under the ceiling fan.

My male dog usually spreadeagles wherever he can find a decent draft or some cool or colllllllld air. This seems consistent for most dogs I know.

Well, sure. You don't see cats hanging their heads out the windows of cars either.

True roger, but when they jump out of car windows it's highly amusing.

When the weather turns warm my cats always seek out the tiled parts of my apartment to stretch out on. They will even sleep in my ceramic tub because it is cooler than the carpet. I don't think cats like to sit in front of fans because they don't like the way the breeze ruffles their fur. I have noticed that they will sit in the path of the fan at a respectable distance so that they don't get their coats mussed.

Dogs on the other hand are not nearly so picky and will horde any breeze they can find on a hot day, rumpled hair or not.

My cat does sit infront of the fan, so does the dog.
