natural selection vs my cat

I do not dispute that my cat, Charlie, should have already been a part of Natural Selection. He is not the brightest of cats and, well, he is not the fittest when it comes to survival.

He managed to catch on fire tonight. Okay, “catch on” is a slight exaggeration. But he sat on a burning candle. One of those low, 4.9 oz jars that Glade put out. I burned it for the color today, rather than scent. I lit it again tonight when I sat down at my desk. Charlie decided that he wanted to be on my desk. He and I both realized, at about the same time, that he was burning. While Charlie tried to figure out what was going on, I moved him OFF the burning candle. Charlie quickly got a bath.

I really just have no words for what just happened.

Wow, I think my dog would do the same thing, though I think she should have been part of natural selection as well.

@Sean: At least I don’t have the only moronic animal who doesn’t realize fire=bad… lol

Wow. That’s insane. My cat is almost too smart for his own good. He does jump of the hood of moving cars though.. Not a smart move.

@Kasie: I think that’s more of a cat thing. They tend to think they are invincible. You know, like how DARE we deign to try and harm them. LOL Charlie is just… not bright. Plain and simple. I love him, though!

About Me

"So I'm a little left of center. I'm a little out of tune..." I am a 20-something redheaded woman. I do not give out my exact age not out of paranoia or a sense of being old but because I am too lazy to make sure this is always up to date every year after my birthday. I am not looking for love, I am not looking for children, and I am not exactly your average single female. I am a geek at heart as well as a secret princess. I have the soul of a gypsy while craving Home. I am diplomatic and am allergic to drama. And coconuts. And anything in the onion family. I have two cats, Charlie and Lili. But most importantly, I am not afraid of who I am.
