during summer for you house, while you are away?
We just got a programable thermostat and I have no idea how low/high I can get away with since we have 2 cats. |

They have fur. So, winter can be set somewhat cool. In the summer, don't set it to sauna levels and they'll be fine. Also our home has a basement that is naturally cooler so they like go down there and curl up on a chair or couch if they are warm. |

| I lived in an old crappy house that didn't hold any heat. It was a battle to keep the house at 60 (with a 300 gas bill!). Cats were fine (although one did take to sleeping under the covers with me). |

| 60 during the winter when we aren't home (the cats often curl up together) or 75 in the summer when we aren't home. I assume they are smart enough to go to the basement if it gets too hot but I don't want to take any chances. One of them hasn't distinguished himself in the brains department. |

| I've lived in un-airconditioned apartments with cats. They did just fine. The only time I saw my cat stressed from the heat was on a 102 degree day. |

| I don't have ac. The cats do fine. In the winter it's about 40-45 in the bedrooms. They sleep under the covers or o. The dogs. One of the dogs sleeps outside and never goes in his house. |
