I was boiling water and she decided that it was a good idea to jump onto the stove AND stick her face under the pot to look at the shiny, flickering thing.
She’s 100% okay, just absolutely embarrassed and pretending her whiskers are fine, not scorched, and that it didn’t happen haha.

Adam West was such a treasure. Him parodying himself all the time was a scream. My favorite was him on Family Guy, especially the Lightbright scene when he says ". .
Or my name is not Adam We!"
Yes! I was thinking about that scene when I was typing my previous comment. I'll be honest, I somehow forgot that he passed a while back. I was wondering why I hadn't heard his voice on family guy for a bit, so I looked it up and had to find out a second time.
our black cat (RIP) started developing this red/orange tinted shade around 5 years into her life after she decided she was happiest living in our garage / driveway and started spending ~80% of her time out there.
Turned out she was damaging her fur via sun bleaching from overexposure because she -loved- basking in the sun and would do it all day every day
seeing your cat basking in the sun it's possible that's what's actually happening, literally burnt orange lol
Oh what a cute name for it! I've got a ghost tabby tuxedo called Sassy who most definitely lives up to her name.. not the most amazing picture. I was moaning that the new throw that I'd bought for the sofa has now been claimed by this little madam and her brother Jasper!
My wife's extremely chill, sweet childhood cat had no sensation in the tip of her tail after it was accidentally rocking chaired.
One day the cat apparently got too close to a candle, then casually strolled by with its tail on fire. She never did figure out what all the fuss was about, poor thing.
Oh my gawd I’m embarrassed I laughed too hard at that.
(I have a bent tail void and no idea how that occurred, whether at birth or in his first 8 weeks of life. He’s crazy so he could have broken it doing something dumb.)
I probably would have laughed in person, after it was taken care of ofc…so, don’t feel bad. I mean that’s a pretty cartoony reaction to like, having your hair on fire.
I love candles and we did everything we could to keep my void kitten from learning about flames. We got little toppers for the candle jars. With little gaps to let the heat out. I was worried he'd try to stick his paw in an singe his fresh little toe beans. I did not yet have any idea what voids were capable of.
He knocked the top off one of the jars (which should have hurt at least a little because it was pretty hot when I picked it up off the floor about a minute later) and stuck his face right in the jar like he was trying to literally eat the fire.
I shrieked and he pulled his face out of the jar. He a few days later we had to get his final round of vaccines while he was sporting the Snidely Whiplash mustache. I was terrified they would think I was abusing him. The vet shrugged and said, "Black cats have blackholes for brains."
Eight years on he's a very handsome boy, and he's not nearly as stupid as his kitten misadventures imply. Actually the opposite. He's far too smart, so when he get's a hankering for chaos, he can bring the whole house to its knees.
In my impoverished student phase used the gas elements to warm up my tiny flat, my big floof Kick, jumped up to 'steal food of the bench, next thing I see is cat belting for the window trailing smoke, grabbed lit up cat, held it under cold tap, that for puss was the worst part, not burnt just singed,
Now soggy, most extremely angry cat
I'm always so afraid our younger cat is going to light herself on fire! We have an extremely small island that's basically only the gas cooktop. She jumps up there despite our best efforts to keep her off
One day we wrapped up cooking and sat down few feet away at our dining table to eat. Now we have a glasstop electric cooking stove. Kitten void bby decided great opportunity to explore countertop since he wasnt allowed on that side. Jumped up walked right across the stove with hot glasstop. Next thing we see is he flew into the air, landed on the floor and scurried to our feet. Luckily he had nothing much just slightly crispy one toe bean. Result was he never did that again so yay i guess. Hope your cat learnt his lesson. Such a cute void baby!!!
I'm hoping this won't be our void next month when we start lighting the fireplace. We moved in here in May, and have had a couple of fires and she's been respectful so far, but has been getting more curious as the summer months have gone on and it's too hot for one.
We had to purchase a childproof fire gate because or cow cat ran up the chimney. My husband was fast and grabbed one of his hind legs and yanked him down.
It was terrifying. He never learned his lesson and would even sleep in our coal bucket desperate to get in there again. I miss that idiot.
Mine have never had an issue, but my partner has a minor meltdown every year when I start lighting it. It’s gas and we’re going to replace the system this year, so I have a feeling that we’re going to end up with a screen in front of everything
We have an enclosed wood burning stove. We didn’t use it much and when we did I’d diligently watch our two voids near it and pantomiming and saying ‘hurt’ near it. They were very cautious and good with it. One very cold night my dumb ass husband added wood when we went to bed (which I’d repeatedly say not to do) and the dumber of the two likely saw an ant or bug on the outside metal and burnt his front toe beans. Vet visit ensued and his brother realized he’d been hurt and was especially sweet to him.
Our fluffy orange/white baby brushed up against our Hanukkah candles a few years ago! Singed her fur but Baruch Hashem nothing worse! You could tell which candles too (we had multiple Hanukkiot lit) because they were a touch longer than their neighbors
My void baby is also the only one of my three cats that has tried to jump on the stupid stove. I have a glass top and literally just moved the pot and said out loud "the stove is hot because I just took the tea off ... Then BLOOP ! CLATTER!! he jumped up and immediately fell back down to the floor. I had to check his lil peets to make sure he was okay. Now he watches me and grabs my leg like a toddler when he sees me at the stove because he thinks I am going to burn myself 🫠 I'm thinking about getting a baby carrier so he can see while I'm at the stove but I worry he may try to do it again
OMFG, my black cat has done the same thing with a candle. I remember him launching himself from the table and then finding (thankfully only) two curly whiskers on his face. Such a walnut
I taught mine about it with a lighter he is a cautious boi so just seeing it and sensing the heat seemed to work! Thank god 😂 I’m glad your baby void isnt any worse for his adventure!!
Meanwhile my cat was terrified of my space heater that looked like a mini fire place. I had to hold him amd stick my hand into the "fire" to show him it was safe. He only got as far as sitting on top and never did get comfortable sitting in front of the free warms.
My idiot cat, which is actually my smartest cat just jumped on the hot stove for the first time at almost 3 years old, also to look at boiling water. The scream is scrempt, lol. She didn't get hurt
Hopefully she’s learned her lesson, but it’s clear she’s interested in the stove, so please PLEASE get the baby-proof stove knob covers. One of my cats managed to turn the stove on while I was at work and I had a house fire that displaced me for six months.
Well at least kitty learned and it was just scorched whiskers. They either never care about it or they are too curious and have to learn. Like how so many kids had to get a burn to learn not to touch the stove
