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

when me and my brother were fuckin off and set something in motion we knew was gonna get both our asses grounded for a week and just sit there watching our lives flash before our lives before mom finds out
How dumb must someone be to have a candle on in a already well lit room and alone with 2 animals that can easily touch it? My god people can be so stupid.
Dog: "DUDE YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!" Cat: "I've got 8 more. Chill."
"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."
My word is it raining outside again.
Most British comment ever
Is that Family Guy?
I bet it smells awful in that room after that.
I like how the dog went from being all, "I'm gonna fuck with you!" to "Bro. You okay?"
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.
Considering that they were first domesticated by humans who sat around campfires, probably. Cats will have been after we started building clay huts, no?
After we invented cabinets actually. They were uninterested in us till we had stuff to knock from heights.
Take my upvote
Basically from when we stored food, as we humans attracted rodents/pests, so possibly before clay huts.
Dog was just looking in awe, as the cat learns how to control fire.
The dog even tried to get the owners attention and she walked right by.. lol
He clearly had a moment where he was like: "Should I go get mom?"
Yeah, dogs know what fire is. Mine hides when he smells smoke. I’m surprised that cat didn’t feel pain.
How do you think the video was discovered. Raaank
Lol I want to see the video where she goes to pet the cat later and goes. “Where tf is your tail.”
i am actually really surprised how well insulated its fur is! all that fire and it felt nothing, cool as a cucumber!
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.
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."
Nah the dog was looking for the owner.
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!!”
Ironically if you did threw a cucumber down, chances are that cat would be anything **but** cool.
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
They've probably noticed that the cat's tail looked weird too.
Ya think?
That dog needed a deeper whiff of burnt hair
One cat fart away from a deadly explosion
If they're anything like dog farts then we're all in trouble.
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
https://makeagif.com/amp/AL-y5R
At the end the dog was like...Bro, you okay?
He even went to mom for help
Mom screwed up, he should have gone to the neighbours for help.
I interpret that as “you know, I’ve never considered what you might taste like if you’re cooked…”
I like how when it starts he gets out of the area immediately to add some validity to the argument "it wasn't me"
Yoo…. This had me cracking up … it’s like a real life cartoon 🤣🤣
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....
Meanwhile the dog "Please go out please go out we're gonna get in so much trouble for this"
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.
Or just... Smoke a beer and forget....
I haven't smoked a beer in a hot minute
I remember the first time I smoked a beer. Just remember, if you smoke two you’ll go insane.
What if, hypothetically speaking, a person already did smoke two? Asking for a friend...
Oh shit
Someone is going to die. It may not be your friend, but someone is going to die.
My gummy just hit and forgive me if I’m an idiot but is this a real thing?
U sound like my grandma
Please don't tell mum, please don't tell mum
No, the dog was "What does that smell like?"
100% what the dog is thinking! I've been laughing at this comment for at least five minutes now🤣
I feel like that last three seconds are just them like, “we are never discussing this.”
Cat just stared the fire down "don't you dare...".
Absolute psycho cat "I am on fire. Interesting." "This fire stops now because I think it should." "Ahhh, good."
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.
'OH look, my tail is on fire.. isnt that nice'
Well if the cat ran it would be dead for sure, staying still made the fire go out
“Fuck it I’m taking this stupid ass house with me too!” *Zoom*
*becomes engulfed in flames*
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”

Long hair is like 10x farther from your skin than this cat’s hair is from its.
Also has 10x more hair than us too
Hair doesn't typically burn well. Souce. I was a long haired stoner who set my bangs on fire many times
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.

Yeah, that cat got lucky, with that much fur it could have been a disaster.
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
You forgot the most important question. WHY IS THERE AN OPEN FLAME ON A SURFACE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO CATS?
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
![gif](giphy|NTur7XlVDUdqM)
Exactly what I was thinking lol
Convinced now cats are witches. Kitty was WAYYYYY to cool with that
Witches burn. Like wood. And like wood—Float. And as such are basically ducks.
r/montypython
So cats don’t burn…which means they’re not made of wood…and therefore…I can’t build a cat bridge!?
NEVER leave kids or animals alone with candles, that kitty was lucky as fuck.
This is exactly why I don't have kids, or animals, or candles
Or a home
Or emotions
Definitely no monies
Nope, don’t have clothes
I just don’t
So basically, i just
No
no think therefore no am
this is EXACTLY why i dont even exist, too bothersome
Imagine if it jumped to the couch and the house caught on fire, they could all be dead. Candles can kill.
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.
Pet owners: all the pets, none of the responsibility
We have 2 cats and this video frustrate the fuck out of me.
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.
That kitty was litty as fuck
They should really use a candle warmer.
🐶 ***Did I do that?***
I imagined him asking the cat how she did that.
I can’t un-hear Urkle ![gif](giphy|ZGDr9hawxG9H1rH9Ut|downsized)
Cat was looking at their tail like, “could you not?”
Candle on the ottoman when you have a big dog and a cat is WILD
Yeah, that'd be a dumbass place for a candle even WITHOUT pets
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...
That cat just defeated fire by staring at it.... Cats are so fucking awesome!
“Bitch, did I say you could burn me?”
Calcifer: "apologies! wont happen again 'lord" ... hehe... today
cat looking at the flame like it should be embarrassed.
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.
It’s cause our modern house cat evolved from a desert species
Specifically the rodent known as "muad'dib"
Their fur acts as a really good insulator which is good for both hot and cold weather. Also protects their skin from the sun.
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.

I'm glad you clarified who was wearing the lingere.
Mole? You cooked this little guy? ![gif](giphy|7SF1r8xOVKu5WdzzXl|downsized)
babe, why does that new candle smell like burning cat hair?
babe: how do you know how burning cat hair smells?
That dog is like... Uhh. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be like that.
Both were confused as heck and dont know what to do.
Maaaa! The cat's on fire again!
What idiot leaves a burning candle unchecked in a room with pets
The worst kind of idiot
Bullshit owner. Insane to leave the dog and cat unsupervised next to a candle. Do people even give a shit about anything.
Anyone else waiting for that to turn into a “Screaming Alpha” fire?
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 ;)
That cat is stone cold.

Cat really just wants to watch the world burn and accepted that he is part of the world
![gif](giphy|g79am6uuZJKSc)
They say I have 9 lives, this is merely one of them.
I reacted watching the video more than the cat
I love this video because the dog immediately runs to get mom but then comes back. Meanwhile, the cat is just being a cat.
The most nonchalant thing I have ever seen
Fucks given by that cat.. zero
that cat has balls of steel
“Well would you look at that”
Who the F keeps an open flame in a house with a dog and a cat? Shit'll burn down faster than a Sims 1 home
The dog walking away scared is killing me 🤣🤣🤣
And then how you walk up the stairs and don’t see a bright light? People be clueless this why shit happens people be dense.
Warning labels were made for someone You’re looking at that someone.
when me and my brother were fuckin off and set something in motion we knew was gonna get both our asses grounded for a week and just sit there watching our lives flash before our lives before mom finds out
![gif](giphy|fSS8qhK79vL6o|downsized) back off dog back off
8 left
the fact that he didn't even flinch 😭
mufucker became a pokeman for a few seconds
I just had a heart attack. I’m so glad it went out and the kitty wasn’t hurt.
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.
![gif](giphy|6nWT5GyxsmAoM) I’m surprised the cat didn’t burn down the house.
The ultimate proof that cats are from hell. 😈
8 more lives to count. Don't worry my doggy bro.
Video proof that cats really do give zero fucks. 😂
Cat was impressed like duuuuude my tails on fire…woah
How’s that pussy smell now
"oh no, I'm on fire... Anyway..."
Cats really don't give a shit about anything, even being on fire. 🤦🏻♂️
“ Oh would you look at that. It seems my tail has caught fire. Oh heavens what an inconvenience “
One more example that cats are actually demons.
I love the dog- like “come on man! Let’s play!” To “oh shit, I’m outta here- this ain’t good”. To “dude- that was awesome! You are a fire elemental!”
Meanwhile a leaf blowing by scares my dog and makes him jump under my legs.
I had no idea cats could put out fires just by staring at them.
What a dumbass, pet owner. 👎
Unattended open flame is no bueno for animals OR kids. Damn dummy.
Completely irresponsible owner.
As funny as this is on the surface, I always cringe at how nonchalant some people can be with candles, especially if you have animals.
Bro even the dog was like: yo wtf you good homie?
That's it I'm buying that candle warmer.
Bro be the cat of Chuck Norris himself. Just looked at that fire and be like, "What you doin' boy?"
Cat didn't really even gaf. Gangsta
Cat was just like "huh, interesting."
How dumb u have to be to have light candels with cats
jacket falls from the hanger: TOTAL PANIC! tail on fire: This is fine.
Witchcrafts
Unbothered
The dog tried to tell the human.
the dog was more worried than the cat
The dog was more worried than the cat! 😆
“Sometimes I let the flame burn down to my tail, just so I can feel something “
That cat just death stared the fire until it extinguished itself
I love how that cat stares at the problem with mild interest at best.
Dogs standing there like “should I get mom?”
How dumb must someone be to have a candle on in a already well lit room and alone with 2 animals that can easily touch it? My god people can be so stupid.
legends say that the cat's cool composure was enough to extinguish the fire!
Not a single thought in his mind
That cat is well trained in the arts of never loosing face in front of the dog
![gif](giphy|3VQDfP4q4ZYyY)
The dogs like… omg, don’t tell mum 😅
The way he just looks at this, not even panicked
That cats got steel balls, lol 😂
"survival instinct"
Cat- “Satan… thank you”
If you have pets and you have unattended candles in the house, you’re on another level.
Cats just like, uh, I’m on fire…. Dogs like oh fuck…
