(3,275 posts)62. My cat was a firefighter
I don't buy candles but I received one as a gift. One day I lit the scented candle in my living room. It was sitting right next to me on the table as I watched TV on the couch. My cat dipped his paw in his drinking bowl, walked over to the table and stamped his paw on the candle. I check and he was fine. He then curled up on the couch next to me and fell asleep. I didn't light it again and eventually threw it away when I moved. My cat was always ready to defend me from danger.

I have so many. Pets who were memorable because they were good, and pets who were horrible.
