There is no guessing when it comes to your cat’s curiosity and the lengths it will go to during its investigation of new things in its environment.

During a storm, it is human nature to prepare by placing candles all around the home and having them on standby in case the power goes out.

Unsupervised lit candles is an open invitation to your cat to investigate the moving flames and a possible “paw slap” to see what happens when your cat interacts with this thing.

One sharp snap with your cat’s paw and the lit candle is most likely going to end up knocked over….a fire in your home is imminent unless you are right there to blow it out.

Keep lit candles very high and out of your cats reach (where you know for a fact that it cannot jump up to that area) or use flashlights and battery operated lanterns instead for additional safety. This website for the veterinary clinic Jacksonville can help you to know more.
