Oh, Oh! kitty better watch out that she doesn't singe her nose. We once had a black cat that was fascinated by flames. Once, before we realized his obsession he tried to sniff the flame on one, and ended up singeing some of his whiskers on one side so he looked rather lopsided for a while. Still didn't cure him though, and we learned we had to keep open flames away from him.
@gardencat Thank you for sharing your story. Made me think of "curiosity killed the cat" although, thank goodness it didn't kill your kitty! The "something new" quickly wore off with my cats this afternoon. They just had to be in the middle of everything when I put up the lights!
