Why Do Pets Find Fans Interesting?

It would seem that many pets are loving to ride the ceiling fans that we have in our homes. What is it about the fans that attracts animals to it?

Bugs

It looks like most cases involve something like a moth which of course cats are always interested in catching. Many fans actually have lights on them too and if this is on it can attract all kinds of little bugs as well as the noticeable moths. Although it is mainly cats that notice these things, some younger dogs may be interested. This means that the animal will always look into trying to catch the animal that is in thier home.

Of course this means jumping up in the general direction of the fan which could mean disaster if the fan is switched on.

High Flyers

If you happen to keep birds in your home and you let them have a bit of a fly around sometimes then make sure you switch all of the fans off. Although birds have very active senses and should realise that it is not safe to fly into it there can still be accidents. Birds have been known to make mistakes like flying into a glass door?

Curiosity

Curiosity killed the cat and in some cases will do just that. Many animals especially the younger ones will love to explore and examine everything in your house to see what it does. This includes the ceiling fan so the best thing to do is keep an eye on your younger pet to make sure those spinning metal blades to not prove to be a problem.

Although there are various things fitted into ac fans to make sure these things do not happen there are sometimes difficulties when it comes to solenoids or even the multicore cables.
