A dilemma with Marigold...

[Pam]

I, too, have a flat top electric stove and Trevor's favorite spot to watch the world go by is the top of the refrigerator. To get there he uses the stove top as a springboard. He seems to sense the heat and avoids the area that is still warm but I worry nevertheless. I like the idea of putting something filled with water on that burner until it cools down.

I too have a flat topped range. I leave a pan or lid on the hot burner after use to keep the cats from stepping on it.

The cats don't spend much time on my counters cause there's rarely any food there!

I think that most of the threads are right that most Cats wont walk where its hot.
However Marigold could jump up on a Hot Stove, so I would say no loudly whenever shes near the stove.
However if there soup there she will think that theres going to be something good there.
We pray Marigold does not get burnt.

My cats walk across the stove all the time. But I think I have only ever seen 1 burned foot pad. for the most part, they stay away from the hot parts, but sure, accidents can happen.
