I also loved the ones where the cat slapped the seal across the head and the seal did nothing or went in the water.

The ones that slapped out candle flames remind me of my Ember. I can never leave the room when I have a lit candle. She slaps at the flame but often not hard enough to put it out. So she singes her paw, licks the paw, and then hits the flame again. I'm afraid that she will get a bad burn that way. Or she might strike at the candle base and knock it over, starting a fire. So I bought a wide cylindrical candle holder that is taller than my candles so she leaves the flame alone.

She does not like anything that burns. When a friend was visiting and lit a cigarette, Ember slapped the cigarette right out of her hand.
