Cats alone in a room with an open flame is a recipe for disaster, don’t do it.
(this cat had good instincts, but many cats don’t seem to understand what fire is and would not react this way)
I immediately thought of this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/mM2-DnaEfwA?si=Bas5Tt8zFaDKDFXK
(Don’t worry, the cat doesn’t get hurt!)
Jfc, I couldn’t watch past the point where the fire catches even if the cat made it, just imagining the panic, it’s a no from me…
But yes, this is a perfect illustration of my point.
Luckily the fire just goes out by itself, and only the hairs on the tip are burned. Cat didn’t feel a thing!
