There are several ways to humidify the house. One, is to buy a humidifier. Another is to boil a pot of water on the cookstove, and still another is to hang up wet laundry or a blanket, used for humidification purposes, in the house and turn on a box fan on it to dry it out. Also, when I mop the hard-wood floors in this house, the humidity goes up, due to evaporation of the wet floors. When the air is more humid in the house, it takes less heat to warm up the interior. I remember in Tucson, Ariz., when I lived there, the humidity could be as low as 10% or 7%. Any heat that was placed in the house would immeidately dissipate and wouldn't stay in the air.
Puma's sniffles has stopped. I have been waiting for her to get rid of the URI, in order to get her spayed. I took in Puma for spaying yesterday. She was going into "heat" and Happy who is also un-neutered was getting rough with her. I'll have to take in Happy next for neutering. Possibly today or Monday. When I took her in to the vets office, I noticed that whe was digging at her right ear and then shaking her head. I attribute this flare-up due to the cold weather that she was exposed to while traveling to the vets office. At any rate, the receptionist said they would check this out also.
