Do you have an air conditioner in your home?

No.

It's only a couple of months out of the whole year that we could use it so we get by. I do worry about the cats sometimes. Often, it's cooler outside so when we take them out for a walk they get to cool off too.

Today is a high of 84 here with 100% humidity and a dewpoint of 72%. There are days when Im glad we have air, though if I had it my way, Id use fans most the time (Im weird, I like it warm... just not so humid)...

Window unit for us. I grew up with central air, but the window unit isn't bad a all.

Yep and we use the ceiling fans a lot too - if its not over 90 degrees we usually have the AC off and ceiling fans/windows open (as long as its not muggy outside).

We have two window units.
One in each bedroom, even though the second bedroom is occupied by cats.

We have a window unit in the bedroom and broke down and bought two window units for the first floor this weekend. The larger one has been installed and since the meteorologist says today is going to be the most humid day of the year so far (hard to imagine), it will be on soon.

We have one window unit for the bedroom. We pretty much only use it at night and it's usually set to 78. It's not the temperature so much as the humidity. I can sleep in an 80 degree room that isn't humid.

During the day, we use fans and the kitties sleep.

For only the second time in my life, I can say, yes, I have central air!! Actually, the first time I had AC, it was only a window unit. Last year, the cats were so hot and just laid around; this year, they are bouncing of off the french doors and having a blast because they never get hot! Thank God for central air!

Yes, central air. Don't know what we would do without it!! It has been 100 degrees here the past few days with the heat index of 105-110. (That's hot!!
) No relieve in sight. So thankful for the central air!!

yep I have it, but my goal this year has been not to use it, not an easy task living in a metal box with a tar roof
bot I've got fans going, two oscillating, two box and two ceiling going all the time so its bearable, just barely bearable
