Singed Fur

In an effort to waste more of my Saturday instead of working on some paperwork that has sat around far too long, I have been playing in the Internet. Ran across No Daddies blog, and curious about its title, I took a gander and was intrigued by the title of one post: Reason 3,023 that I'm dumb. So as not to spoil the well written account of why this blogger now has hair very short on one side of her head, I shall not give you any details. Just go read the post; it's rather funny.

. . . It reminded me of the time I had a candle sitting on our coffee table and my long-haired kitty with her fluffy tail walks by. The tips of her tail fur wisp across the candle flame and alight. I start to smell singed fur (not very aromatic), and look to see my cat's tail on fire. She is oblivious. I yelp, then grab her tail and blow on it and then pat out any remaining embers.

To this day, she still has no idea it ever happened.
