Comments about Cool Cat Fan:

I bought this fan for next summer because my air conditioning unit does not really cool our family room. It looks very stylish and almost vintage antique in the family room. And it will come in very useful next summer!

I would consider this a nice gift for a friend also because the style is so classic and original.

Comments about Cool Cat Fan:

I got this fan for my husband as a birthday gift. He is always hot and I hate the look of most fans. Now both of us are happy. He has a fan that is powerful enough to cool the room and I am happy because it does not ruin by décor.

I saw this in a museum gift shop for [$] The Smithsonian price was much more acceptible. My daughter, Kat, loves it! She says it really does move a great deal of air and it is such a cute accent piece!

Comments about Cool Cat Fan:

This cat fan meowed to me immediately as a gift for my daughter (and her cat). It is so cute and classy looking considering it's a fan. It is on the smaller size so it's a good size for bedside and tabletop. Very cute whiskers and tail on the cat fan make it an instant conversation piece. My daughter really likes it. I may go back and buy one for myself too.

Comments about Cool Cat Fan:

This was my Christmas/Birthday gift for my mom who has cats all over the house. It's getting hard to find one she doesn't already have. This is it. The whimsical curl of the whiskers and turn of the tail look great in front of the bookcase. And the decorative cats are jealous because she has a function! When the weather warms up she'll be keeping us as cool as she is.

Comments about Cool Cat Fan:

The photo cannot show how unique it really is. Though the height description was given, it was larger than I expected and it is more heavy-duty and durable than it looks. It is fantastic and it is WAY cool!
