I quit using candles years and years ago. Kitties like to put their
nose in the flame and burn off their wiskers.

I would have thought it was obvious and I hate to blame someone but
really, that's dumb.

So the human woman with a human brain lights a candle where a cat runs
around AND she is wheelchair bound herself so even less likely to prevent a
catastrophe than someone more mobile THEN when the cat knocks the candle
over she says the cat started the fire? Sorry to be harsh but it is her
fault her dog and cat are dead. What a horrible way for an animal to die.
When will people learn to be careful with fire?

I have also been wary of candles. When I was a child, my father fitted
our pumpkins on Halloween with small batteries and an electric light.
Back in those (very) old days, we heard of kids being set on fire on
Halloween from pumpkin candles. There were also many reports of Christmas
tree fires from candles. MLB
