I have 4 cats. If one should knock the fan over, will the cat be safe?

Being an owner of both this fan and cats, I couldn't image the fan would hurt a cat. The base is a bit heavier but the entire top section is very light. It could potentially harm a kitten but I'd even doubt that.

Sure the fan intakes air at thr base and distributes it through thr ring so all moving parts are internal.

Yes, the cat would most likely be safe. The fan has no blades and is very lightweight. It rotates softly and easily so if the cat does knock it over, it should be safe. Good luck!

Not only will the cat be safe, but you and the other three cats will be safe as well. The fan is located in the base of the unit and the blades are never exposed. It's a neat little, albeit expensive, device.

I would feel comfortable having inquisitive cats around this fan. It is very bottom heavy so hard to tip. If if tipped there are no sharp parts to harm a kitty.

Our 3 cats never knocked it over, but they certainly wended around it. Can't see how they would get hurt unless they were chewing on the cord and the cord zapped them or the fan gave them a nose whap as it fell...it's really quite light.

Yes,it's pretty heavy but,not top heavy.I don't think a cat could knock it over.

This is by design , but please be careful and do not touch the oprating motor without fan , it could harm you !

It depends on the cat. Some will be fine but I would think that some would climb over it.

I had the same thing happen. My two cats just batted it over and one rolled it while the other ate. I asked the same question. How can I keep this thing from getting knocked over? I got no answer.

I ordered it for my daughter. She actually screwed it to the ceiling because her cat is very large and was knocking it down when he jumped on it. I think it depends on the cat.

The critters COULD knock it over if they tried, which they haven't. The dogs could even jump over it easily, but it hasn't occurred to them yet, either. The gate is going across a big double-door to my second bedroom, preventing the dogs from raiding the cat litter box (disgusting creatures that they are). Just to make sure, I sandwiched one side of the gate between the wall and a heavy object, in this case the bucket with the litter. On the other side, I just folded out the extra leg a bit to give it stability. Have had the gate for about 2 months now, no problem. The cats hop right over it.

No it will not fall over. It would be great for kittens but my middle aged cats ignore it.

Not sure because u know how cats like to lay on stuff. Will keep out but if they try to lay on, it will fall

Yes, I believe it will be fine. We have 2 cats that are about 15 pounds each. They often play on it together, usually on the top 2 levels.We haven't had a problem with it wobbling a lot or falling over.

Yes. It is very stable if left alone, but if a cat jumped onto it, it could be knocked over.

Yep, we put the cats out and then let bombs off, left house for about two or more hrs. I came back opened windows and put ceiling fans on per the instructions and came back in a little later, no smell etc. If they are housecats just put in a carrier in a garage or somewhere. Mine were enjoying their freedom so I left them out about three hrs to make sure it was ok. Hope this helps.

It seems pretty sturdy. Not sure what happens if the cat runs and jumps on it full speed. I put it next to a window/wall though. No topple over with 4 of my cats so far.

No. You have to hit it pretty hard. My cats are always running into the windows and they never set it off.

The fan will point lower than horizontal allowing pets that are 6 to 10 feet away feel the effect. It does not point straight down so, pets directly underneath will have no effect.

If the cats are a bit frisky it would fall over. It is more of a piece of art vs. a screen. I enjoy the dimension it adds to my room but it is not the sturdiest piece of furniture!

It is safe to use around pets and children. I wouldn't use the fan near curtains and/or drapes. The reason why is because the actual fan is located in the base (where the vents are located). You don't want to have curtains or anything else blocking those vents, which nay cause the fan to overheat. This information is in the instruction booklet.
