Just know, that if they sit in your lap, you're legally obligated to never move an inch, never sneeze, never disturb their peace.
I don't care that you're 5 hours late for work. The cat of the house has spoken!

Luckily, you can just say you're incat-pacitated and you're good.
“I fits, I sits” predates the Big Bang. By orders of magnitude.
It's been observed in nature so much that we are beginning to believe it is a fundamental law of the universe.

Cats are liquid
That's not something cat owners just say for fun. Its true. No gap or hole is too small, cats just flow through the smallest spaces. And sometimes they like to sit in small places and cry for your attention. Don't get fooled into thinking they are stuck. Most of the time it's a choice.
Don't get fooled into thinking they are stuck.
And they will be very annoyed if you “rescue” them
Edit: Added quote to make it clear. Although lots of things you do will annoy your cat
they feel safe in a box, plus a small box lets them curl up into a little ball, keeps their (naturally warmer than ours) bodies warm.
Their entertainment is very simple: bring back empty box and crumpled piece of receipt paper.
It applies everywhere, too. Open drawers, laundry baskets, small chairs.
Rectangles can also be cat magnets.
congrats on never throwing out an amazon or chewy box ever again now that you have a cat :)
I have that fan, it's excellent apart from the awkward design decision to have the radial dial start at max and work down!
Still, a good purchase!
Also, that's a fine beast you have there!
That's just normal fan design to make sure the motor has maximum torque on startup.
I am in the market for a new fan, do you know the brand and the model?
It's a Vornado, I just had a look at it and am no wiser to the model however. Was recommended to me by a friend and has been a pleasant, if a little pricey, suprise!
