A horrible experience, pretty scaring! Luckily nothing happened to your kitty!

I have had my own experiences with cats and candles: When my Katz (RIP) was still a kitten, she burned her whiskers in the flame, since that day I'm only lightening candles here in my place when they're totally out of reach for a cat!
Last Easter, Luna and I visited friends and I've almost had an argument with my friend because they had a candle burning on the dining table and when Luna jumped on it, I hold my hands around the flames to protect her. My friend thought I was exaggerating, but I know I'm not!
