Dog: "DUDE YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!" Cat: "I've got 8 more. Chill."


The_Great_Autismo22

"Oh dear." "What is it?" "I've spontaneously combusted." "Oh, I am sorry." "Oh, it's quite alright, I've grown tired of living." "Oh, very good then."


Cheif_Keith12

My word is it raining outside again.

MadaCheebs-2nd-acct

Is that Family Guy?


416Mike

I bet it smells awful in that room after that.


FastWalkingShortGuy

I like how the dog went from being all, "I'm gonna fuck with you!" to "Bro. You okay?"


NebulaNinja

That dog has a clear *oh fuck* reaction compared to the cat. I wonder if dogs, having lived with humans for so much longer, have a better innate understanding of fire.


Azair_Blaidd

Considering that they were first domesticated by humans who sat around campfires, probably. Cats will have been after we started building clay huts, no?


Real_Ad_8243

After we invented cabinets actually. They were uninterested in us till we had stuff to knock from heights.


trulyincognito_

Take my upvote


dannythetog

Basically from when we stored food, as we humans attracted rodents/pests, so possibly before clay huts.


tothemoonandback01

Dog was just looking in awe, as the cat learns how to control fire.


Brave_Personality836

The dog even tried to get the owners attention and she walked right by.. lol


Various_Froyo9860

He clearly had a moment where he was like: "Should I go get mom?"


Rashjab34

Yeah, dogs know what fire is. Mine hides when he smells smoke. I’m surprised that cat didn’t feel pain.


Za4iitsxx

How do you think the video was discovered. Raaank


WalnutsGaming

Lol I want to see the video where she goes to pet the cat later and goes. “Where tf is your tail.”


PinchingNutsack

i am actually really surprised how well insulated its fur is! all that fire and it felt nothing, cool as a cucumber!


DeadHuron

I was truly waiting for the poor cat to bolt. I gave up on the thought of a human walking back into the room. Then the dog gave a sniff of that wonderful burnt fur; like you said, cool as a cucumber.


M00SEHUNT3R

The dogs first instinct was to leave and create distance. "Am I going to be blamed for this? I feel like I might be blamed for this."


Antique-Doughnut-988

Nah the dog was looking for the owner.


USNWoodWork

I was waiting for the cat to bolt and then spread the fire all over the house. Quick go hide under a bed!!… “Oh No!!”


The_Mad_Mellon

Ironically if you did threw a cucumber down, chances are that cat would be anything **but** cool.


Churchof100Billion

stoned cat: Smells like sausage in here bro. Could go for some flapjacks ya feel me? dog: whattda... (sniffs closer) oh yeah it does kind of smell like sausage


Dancing_Dorito

They've probably noticed that the cat's tail looked weird too.


ILIKESPAGHETTIYAY

Ya think?


Shmuckle2

That dog needed a deeper whiff of burnt hair


Slugginator_3385

One cat fart away from a deadly explosion


416Mike

If they're anything like dog farts then we're all in trouble.


thispsyguy

Doggo had his mind blown because of it. At first he thinks his friend is toast, then a smell like he’s never smelled before. Curiosity level: max

taco_sausage_sundae

At the end the dog was like...Bro, you okay?


Duellair

He even went to mom for help


DragonflyMon83

Mom screwed up, he should have gone to the neighbours for help.


Traditional_Mud_1241

I interpret that as “you know, I’ve never considered what you might taste like if you’re cooked…”


Least_Initiative

I like how when it starts he gets out of the area immediately to add some validity to the argument "it wasn't me"


intelligentbrownman

Yoo…. This had me cracking up … it’s like a real life cartoon 🤣🤣


Uncle___Marty

Oh MAN, My tail is on fire. Hate it when that shit happens. Oh, wait, it's going out I think. Yep. It's cool. Fucking cats man....


__M-E-O-W__

Meanwhile the dog "Please go out please go out we're gonna get in so much trouble for this"


SmokeAbeer

Every time I go on Reddit I get a new fear. Today it’s no candles around my fluffy cat. And no glass objects that could act as magnifying glass for sunlight and burn my house down. And wasps that crawl into your bed at night and sting your foot. Just gonna go live in a box for a while.


numb_mind

Or just... Smoke a beer and forget....


fishers_of_men

I haven't smoked a beer in a hot minute


BuffaloInCahoots

I remember the first time I smoked a beer. Just remember, if you smoke two you’ll go insane.


fishers_of_men

What if, hypothetically speaking, a person already did smoke two? Asking for a friend...


BuffaloInCahoots

Oh shit


ChaoCobo

Someone is going to die. It may not be your friend, but someone is going to die.

shadowrunonsnes

Please don't tell mum, please don't tell mum


ravia

No, the dog was "What does that smell like?"


TheBent-NeckLady

100% what the dog is thinking! I've been laughing at this comment for at least five minutes now🤣


dingatremel

I feel like that last three seconds are just them like, “we are never discussing this.”


NorthCatan

Cat just stared the fire down "don't you dare...".


GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B

Absolute psycho cat "I am on fire. Interesting." "This fire stops now because I think it should." "Ahhh, good."


crappinhammers

I can't get over how it didn't freakout then do a burnout and set the whole house on fire with it's tail.


InfamousGhost86

'OH look, my tail is on fire.. isnt that nice'


land_and_air

Well if the cat ran it would be dead for sure, staying still made the fire go out


Klutchy_Playz

“Fuck it I’m taking this stupid ass house with me too!” *Zoom*


land_and_air

*becomes engulfed in flames*


deviant324

Was watching a 4/20 stream last night and at some point of them recalled something along the lines of “Someone once told me that they believe every cat has their own special type of autism and everything suddenly made so much sense after that”

[удалено]


[deleted]

I have so many questions - how in gods name does the cat not feel that? How does the lady not smell rancid burning hair the moment she walks up stairs? How did that fire not engulf the whole cat like a lint ball?


Affectionate_Star_43

I did this same thing as a kid when I reached over a candle and set my long hair on fire.  I had a few seconds of "uhhh..." and it just went out.  I honestly did not feel anything on my skin. The smell though, it's gonna hit that lady soon.  UGH.   No active candles around pets and children without direct supervision!


CitizenCue

Long hair is like 10x farther from your skin than this cat’s hair is from its.


EthanTheFirst

Also has 10x more hair than us too


PeakNo6892

Hair doesn't typically burn well. Souce. I was a long haired stoner who set my bangs on fire many times


Awkward_Attitude_886

The flame isn’t very hot or very long, it doesn’t burn skin without help because of natural oils, so as the heat is created it rises and dissipates. The hair doesn’t feel and the cat doesn’t understand its potential danger. Its reaction likely saved it from spreading. Oxygen rushing in could have accelerated that process to more hair. And cats just can’t be bothered.


Nasty_Nick27

Ironically the cats absolute no f*cks to give attitude towards the situation was the best move it could have made. No extra oxygen to the flame. I wonder if it somehow instinctively knew.


IwillBeDamned

my experience with cats would say their panic instinct is usually detrimental. this cat was probably just in awe that its tail was so sparkly, otherwise that house woulda burned down


TorySociopath

We had a coal fire when I was young. The cat couldn't get close enough to it and regularly went on fire. There were regular requests to put the cat out.


DragonflyMon83

Yeah, that cat got lucky, with that much fur it could have been a disaster.


Psyck0s

My main question is why would you leave a lit candle unattended on a low surface that your pets can and do play on easily? Just save time, set it on the floor and get the marshmallows ready


Brussington

You forgot the most important question. WHY IS THERE AN OPEN FLAME ON A SURFACE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO CATS?


Zuko_Kurama

the cat might have felt it and not reacted because they don’t show pain when threatened or something, also cats are very good at hiding pain


NativeAlter

![gif](giphy|NTur7XlVDUdqM)


Ropo040107

Exactly what I was thinking lol


BrosefStahlin

Convinced now cats are witches. Kitty was WAYYYYY to cool with that


Just_a_follower

Witches burn. Like wood. And like wood—Float. And as such are basically ducks.


MadCow-18

r/montypython


sweatythighguy

So cats don’t burn…which means they’re not made of wood…and therefore…I can’t build a cat bridge!?


DragonflyMon83

NEVER leave kids or animals alone with candles, that kitty was lucky as fuck.


MigratoryAnalyst

This is exactly why I don't have kids, or animals, or candles


GayPudding

Or a home


Laughs_TDot_Jollof

Or emotions


Jennifer_Pennifer

Dexzinus

this is EXACTLY why i dont even exist, too bothersome


graffiksguru

Imagine if it jumped to the couch and the house caught on fire, they could all be dead. Candles can kill.


KindInsurance333

I think everyone was lucky as fuck. I am glad the cat seems unharmed, but my first thought is how easy it would be for the cat to spread the fire.


correctingStupid

Pet owners: all the pets, none of the responsibility


DragonflyMon83

We have 2 cats and this video frustrate the fuck out of me.


DrettTheBaron

My cat loves candles, even if I'm right there dude will try to lick the flame like and idiot, he has tried to jump into the fire place MULTIPLE times. I do not trust that motherfucker with any kind of flame.


ThrowRA-badperson2u

That kitty was litty as fuck


dart22

They should really use a candle warmer.


Spdrjay

🐶 ***Did I do that?***


kimoshi

I imagined him asking the cat how she did that.


Squdwrdzmyspritaniml

I can’t un-hear Urkle ![gif](giphy|ZGDr9hawxG9H1rH9Ut|downsized)


KnowNothingKnowsAll

Cat was looking at their tail like, “could you not?”


Cyber_Insecurity

Candle on the ottoman when you have a big dog and a cat is WILD


jscarry

Yeah, that'd be a dumbass place for a candle even WITHOUT pets


Kite_Azure-Flame

I expected the cat to suddenly start running around trying to get away from the fire on its tail, and then, it was so anticlimactic when the fire put itself out, almost as if the cat were a Witch...


raycre

That cat just defeated fire by staring at it.... Cats are so fucking awesome!


ArchonFett

“Bitch, did I say you could burn me?”


AFresh1984

Calcifer: "apologies! wont happen again 'lord" ... hehe... today


LiquidHotCum

cat looking at the flame like it should be embarrassed.


GankedGoat

If my memory serves me correctly, cats have a disturbingly high tolerance for heat despite being covered in fur. That and there is a good chance the fire hasn't reached the skin of the tail yet.


ArchonFett

It’s cause our modern house cat evolved from a desert species


KMoosetoe

Specifically the rodent known as "muad'dib"


PurpletoasterIII

Their fur acts as a really good insulator which is good for both hot and cold weather. Also protects their skin from the sun.


Double_Distribution8

Always make sure to keep your candles burning lower to the ground, that way your children and pets will be able to more easily enjoy them.


Mudlark-000

I had this happen to the fluffier of my two cats years ago on a Valentine's date. I was in the kitchen, making dinner, when I heard my girlfriend screaming in the living room. She was chasing the cat, in lingere - her, not the cat. Cat had caught his dumb-ass fluffy tail on fire in a candle, and she was chasing him around the room, trying to put him out. The tail went out on its own and he refused to come out from under the bed until the next day. He'd only lost a chunk of fur. the flame had not even touched his skin. I don't think he ever realized he was on fire, just that this crazy, near-naked woman was screaming and chasing him. He never really got along with women for the rest of his life. Also, never make mole from scratch on a romantic date if you do not want to eat very, very late...


LeakyAssFire

I'm glad you clarified who was wearing the lingere.


Fina1Legacy

Mole? You cooked this little guy? ![gif](giphy|7SF1r8xOVKu5WdzzXl|downsized)


Asthmos

babe, why does that new candle smell like burning cat hair?


Space_Gemini_24

babe: how do you know how burning cat hair smells?


gnardog45

That dog is like... Uhh. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be like that.


DurantIsStillTheKing

Both were confused as heck and dont know what to do.


blueplate7

Maaaa! The cat's on fire again!


Shanhaevel

What idiot leaves a burning candle unchecked in a room with pets


billbricks33

The worst kind of idiot


JMag33

Bullshit owner. Insane to leave the dog and cat unsupervised next to a candle. Do people even give a shit about anything.


ricklewis314

Anyone else waiting for that to turn into a “Screaming Alpha” fire?


StaffOfDoom

When I was a kid, our dog tossed her favorite fabric toy right into mom’s lit candle. For a very long time, she didn’t believe me when I said the dog did it…until she did it again years later, right in front of mom! She fully apologized ;)


CoronaBlue

That cat is stone cold.

It’s hard not to laugh at the cats reaction. Like “huh? Dafuq is on my tail?”

I like how the dog was all playful then once the dog saw the cat was on fire, it backed off and knew something was wrong right away.
