These last stories remind me of something that happened many years ago. I had a cat then who everytime we would cook something she liked she would guard the pots and pans until that thing came out and we gave ehr some (she did not particularly like cat food, she liked practically everything else). One day we were cooking a chicken and she was so busy guarding the pot that she rested her tail on the flame. When she hear me scream and throw a towel around her she got scared and started running all over the place. The whole thing lasted only a few seconds and the did not even get the slightest burn, I think that what scared her most was my reaction
