This past summer the heat was
extreme with no rain in over a month. Many of the feral and stray
cats did come into our yard to drink water from the many bowls and a few went
into our air-conditioned shed. Other cats tried to keep cool by lying on
our patio chairs. But when the the shade was a heat index of 90 degrees we did
take steps to provide these cats with powerful air circulation from an
industrial fan.
Here is a photo of the fan that we set up for the cat.
We bought an industrial large fan from Lowes home improvement
store and set the fan up so that it was five feet away from where the cat was
lying. The large fan did provide the cat with a steady stream of air and
hopefully, it blew the hot air away from the cat.
We have taken care of this feral cat since 2008 and think she is
set in her ways and does not want to go into the shed where the air conditioner
is. Maybe afraid of the other cats or afraid of the window unit as they
are noisy.
The cat stayed in the chair and only left the area with the breeze
from the fan to get a drink of water. She came back to where the
fan was and seemed to enjoy the steady breeze.
Setting the fan five feet away from the cat was good as we tried
to be closer and the stronger breeze did scare her.
