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.

I do, strictly because I understand my cat's personality. He's not interested in fire, he's not interested in getting on the table, he's not interested in the candle. That being said, I wouldn't leave him alone with a lit candle for an extended period, but that's more to do with not leaving something burning unattended than anything else.

Mine would knock it over just to watch the wax spread
