Is taking down the fans an option? Do you expect to need them? It's easy to just unscrew the blades, assuming you can get to them
Cats
I'm renting so I can't take it down completely and I'm short but I'm going to get a ladder and try to remove the blades. I won't be able to do it until Friday though...
I had good results when doing a search for "cat afraid of household object". Instead of listing a bunch of links for you, I figure you might find something more helpful if you try it on your end. I'm genuinely worried about you and your kitty. I'm not trying to be one of those asshats that says to google it yourself, because I know searching for advice about a cat that is afraid of fans might be too specific. You can probably apply the same methods from any results about a cat being afraid of any general object. My guess is the cat just needs your love and some time. I wish you guys the best!
Holy crap. Cats fearing ceiling fans is a whole thing. I had no idea!
Thank you so much! Now I have a plan!
