That explains a lot. I find it a little strange that Cassie had a farenheit thermometer (degrees Celsius are more commonly used), but it's not impossible. Thanks for answering.
Um.. maybe not in medical/veterinary settings, but in America, the Fahrenheit temperature scale is more common by a longshot, and so it would make sense for her to have one that's set to Fahrenheit...

Is it? Had no idea. Though most hospitals I know measure it in Celsisu, and Cassie'shermometer is essentially one used in a Vetinary/Medical setting.

Well, it takes place in the U.S. and every thermometer I've ever used in the U.S. has read in degrees Fahrenheit, not celsius. Let's ask one of RAF's bionerds. I'm sure they've seen veterinary thermometers.
