Hi everyone, I'm new here, and a new cat owner, and I'd like to introduce myself and my cat, Abby.

Abby is a very sweet cat with what I consider a minor problem--she is terrified of my ceiling fans, whether they are moving or not! I'm sure that since she's new here, and may have never seen a ceiling fan before (I adopted her from a local animal shelter) that she will eventually come around...for now she pretty much just barricades herself in the bathroom where she feels safe. I can pick her up and walk around with her; she always cautiously eyes the fan when I walk into a room with one, and when I put her down she lets out a low growl and scurries back into the bathroom.
I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has experienced this, and if there's anything I can do to try and make her more comfortable here?
