Do you light candles when your cat is around? (slrpnk.net)

Hiya,

Simple question really, do you light candles when your cat is around? We've newly got our cat (5 months now), but had never light a candle around here due to the possible dangers. Are your cats curious about candles when lit? I feel like the possibility of them being too curious around them isn't worth the possible risk. We haven't really got a lot of places where the cat cannot reach either. But could maybe get some 'enclosed' candleholders.

Happy to hear what you do guys do regarding this. We quite like having the occasional candle lit.

We do it frequently. Our cat put her paw only once over the fire and understood immediately that it is a no-go. Nothing big, I guess she was more surprised than really feeling any pain. But afterward, she was just staring randomly at the light and she never tried again putting her paw on it.
