Spencer: Oh, now I understand what a halogen lamp is- doh! 4-feline house: how scary, that sounds even worse than what happened to us. The kitty was running around? Besides the harm it could have done to your cat, it could also start a fire.......Yeah, I know what you mean that you can (kind of) laugh about it now. People I tell it to get a kick out of it, but the potential for disaster was huge. Glad it turned out okay for you.
