The danger of candles

[Cinder & Smoke]

I burn them almost every evening.

Maybe I should rename him Singe?

Or, maybe you should stop burning them and just *LOOK* at 'em ---

UN-lighted candles never burn anybody or start Fires!

I'm glad you were so close to the candle and Max didn't get burned. It's so cosy with a candle burning, but a pity cats want to check it out. I'm lucky with Fister, he hardly ever comes up on the table.

I use these at my house.

I have one of the large ones and one of the small ones.

I just use any jar candle and when it's finally warm enough I remove the wick since it doesn't get lit at all. If the jar is a bit small for the warmer holder I just push the jar to one side in it and it finally warms up, but it does take a bit longer like all day to get a liquid wax. But even when it's not liquid it does make a nice scent all day.

We use the Rio candle warmer http://www.cierracandles.com/detail.aspx?ID=2043 to enjoy the fragrance without the flame. Sometimes I microwave the jar candle for a minute or 2 to soften it up.

THATS NOT TO MENNTION THE DANGER THAT A JUMPING OR RUNNING CAT CAN DO IF THEY KNOCK THE CANDLE OVER AND IT LANDS ON A FLAMMABLE SURFACE.
