RE: Fan Mount w/o beard?
 

That's precisely the reason why my fan and beard are drying in the garage.......my wife's 2 cats would be playing hacky sack with them if I brought them anywhere inside the house. :eek:

It can still look good if you leave the beard out depending on the plaque you put it on. I had the same thing happen to me with one of my fans, but still think it looks pretty good.

I keep my fans only pretty much because I like the colors in the feathers, I toss the beard unless its large(over 10")... I'm not a big trophy guy.
