Candles/cats.......

Duke Singes off his wiskers as a kitten so he avoids candles
Sibohan was sniffing a candle when I first got her and ended up with no eyebrows on her right side for a few months till they grew in again.

Both of them avoide candles now

I haven't burned a candle since Cleo burned off all her 'eyebrow' whiskers when she was a kitten. I did get one of those electric warmers for Christmas, but I haven't tried it yet. Maggie's such a klutz that she'd probably dump over the liquid wax.


Pookie & the girls

My father has this thing about candles and incense. He knows i have a huge collection but i'm only allowed to use an electric oil burner. All my stuff sits unused and smells so good *pouts* he thinks im going to burn the house down. I'm 23 ffs and i've never set anything alight in any of the houses!

So kitties are safe anyway. But they still try to get to my windowsill via the desk and knock things over anyway

I only have them lit when I'm in the room. If I have company over the cats are almost never around. Regardless, I have covered candle holders for tea lights.
Fred used to singe his whiskers when he was a kitten, so I'm always careful.

We light them if we are always in the room and have the ones in glass jars or high up on the wall where the tubbies can't jump

Mine don't go anywhere near candles, but I rarely burn them anymore because I'm afraid they'll aggravate Harvey's asthma.

Poor Fred ran across my coffee table and lit his tail on fire once. Fortunately it only burned hair, but it scared him silly. I never burn candles that are not deep in a jar, and I never leave the room with one burning. I never expected Fred tro jump on m,y table like that, goes to show you never can tell what can happen in an instant.
