Now don’t get too concerned over this title. Sprinkles our fluffy, adorable cat is doing just fine. However a few weeks ago I was doing homework at our dining room table with a nice candle next to me. Sprinkles jumped up on one of the dining room chairs and looked like she wanted to join me on the table. Now I never let her up on the table because that’s just gross, but she was looking at me longly so I let her jump up. Big mistake. She laid down near the candle and I went back to my homework. After a while I noticed a burning smell and looked up. There was smoke rising from Sprinkles!!! She is a very furry/fluffy cat and part of her fur had gotten caught in the flame of the candle. I reached out to grab her and pat the flames out but she ran and jumped off the table! I raced around the table and tackled her to the floor and a little more than patted out the flames. I don’t think she knew she was on fire on in any danger. I had to trim some of her fur off because it was singed and the upstairs reeked of burnt hair for quite a while. However Sprinkles the cat lives on. Here are some pictures to prove it.

Giant yawn.

Aren’t you jealous you don’t have a Sprinkles?!
