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.

Only on the kitchen counter where I can see them from the sofa (open kitchen design). The kitties know they aren't allowed up there and only on extremely rare occasions openly violate the rule (like, you know how sometimes they just forget that you're standing there and act like you're not?). The candles are also the type that come in a metal tin that can be closed when not in use, so they're wide and squat.
