I Set My Cat On Fire

Well it was­n’t so much my fault as hers for walk­ing by one of my can­dles as I was light­ing it.

  1. Aww!! Poor Dolly! I remem­ber one of my par­ents’ cats light­ing their tail on fire in a can­dle once, but it just flicked it and the flame went out and it went on it’s way. Is Dolly OK? Did it scare her?

  2. My favorite was the Funniest Home Videos clip where a cou­ple had left their video cam on and they were just on the couch watch­ing tel­ly with a shelf/table thing behind their couch with lit can­dles on it.

    Their cat hops up on the can­dled table/shelf thing behind them, threads through to sit down on the couch behind their necks in his favorite spot. Sits down, flaps tail. Big fluffy tail pass­es by can­dle, flares into CAT ON FIRE.

    Cat mere­ly flicks tail three times, whap whap whap against the couch, flames are all out.

    Video rolled on, with cat still sit­ting behind them on the couch. They’re com­plete­ly obliv­i­ous that they almost toast­ed their cat — and pos­si­bly the apart­ment. Cat was all, “Whatever.” But then cats are always pret­ty much “what­ev­er.”

    Nice shot of Dolly’s nubs. Glad she’s good.

  3. You singed her fur!

  4. Dolly’s total­ly fine. I don’t think she even noticed; she just kept walk­ing by with­out even stop­ping.

    It prob­a­bly would have put itself out even if I did­n’t blow on it. It did smell fun­ny though.

  5. Damn! Good thing it did­n’t hurt her.
