My Scottish Fold cat, Sweetie, walked on my table by a lit candle, and half of an inch of her fur got singed off on her left side of her body! She's fine, but her coat is kinda screwy now. I'll post pics as soon as I can!
Aww that must've hurt him, though. Right? Because whiskers are used to feel around in the dark, so they are extremely sensitive....But he's okay now huh? Oh Harley, what will we ever do with you??Originally Posted by babyharley
OH GOODNESS--HARLEY DID THE SAME THING LAST NIGHT!!!
I had a candle sitting on the table and he jumped up and didn't know it was there, but I caught him in time, but he kinda um, burned some of his whiskers on his right side, they are just a little singed on the ends....it looks so silly cuz they are curled up where they got burned, but they aren't really short or anything-just a little bit on the ends got touched, but he's okay, I blew out that candle right away! I felt so bad!!
I explain to everyone I know that I love candles, but won't burn them. Everyone always asks why. I tell them because none of my cats remember they have tails, and I have visions of explaining to the vet how they burnt off their hair and then to the fire dept. just how my house burnt down.Originally Posted by menagerie mama
Once Emily walked by and caught her tail on fire..the bad thing is, I didn't know she did it, I was in the other room and heard a loud thumping noise. Well, loud thumping noises are common in this house of 7 cats and 2 dogs, so I didn't think much of it until I smelled burned hair...then I went out and found her sitting there with HALF of her tail hair burned off!I had to hold her down and trim the black stuff off with scissors...it STUNK!!!
