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

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.

My friend's apartment burned down when his cat knocked over a candle. Make of that what you will.

How do they know it was the cat? It seems like if you saw it you should have easy time to put it out. And if you didn't how would you know.

Well that is very unfortunate... 🙁
