So my cat lit herself on fire (she's fine)

[toepick]

Dumbass didn't even notice that her fur was on fire / smoking. (Rubbed up against a candle). She is fine, it didn't touch her skin, but the smell of burnt cat fur is so bad. Like burnt hair times 10. She smells so bad. I have tried pet wipes, a soapy wet washcloth, and it doesn't help. I really don't want to bathe a 17-year-old deaf long-haired cat who has claws. Any other ideas?  Maybe I should Febreze her???

My buca did this to himself several times at our old house in the gas heater. We usually just cut the hair away.

This is probably going to get me flamed but I can't stop laughing and picturing the grandpa on Christmas vacation

Glad your cat is okay!

No flames from me that's hilarious.

My cats have stopped me from lighting candles anymore. This is why we can't have nice things!

I'm really glad you're cat is okay but the title of your post made me burst out laughing.

Ha ha, my dumb cat Moose did this once. Had no idea what even happened.
