Wow Logan! I'm so sorry to hear about your Butter boy. My cats have never had the desire to see a candle up close but I think if there were rolls close by that's another story! I hope he has learned a lesson from this because I sure wouldn't want him to ever forget and repeat that! Maybe you can tell me if this is true or an Old Wives Tale. Someone once told me that if a cat's whiskers are cut (or burned ) they can't walk properly (messes up their equilibrium). Sounds a little weird to me and, of course, I would never cut mine just to find out!
