That was for sure a close call. Several years ago, our household had 2 kittens a couple of months apart in age, but about the same size. I was putting something in the broiler, and one kitten ran inside the broiler. I shooed it out, stood back up & picked up the broiler pan off the stovetop, stuck it in the broiler and closed the door. Got halfway across the kitchen when I heard a clanging noise coming from in the broiler. I ran back, flung open the broiler & snatched the pan out, and out runs the little Siamese kitten with her fur on one side ON FIRE, not just singed, but FLAMING.
I grabbed her up, patted out the flames, and washed her off with a dishcloth. I checked her eyes, paw pads, ear tips, and all the rest of her, and thank God, there was no damage other than the burned hair. After I got through
at myself, I was a basket case for the rest of that afternoon...
That longhaired kitty is a beauty. My longhair dilute calico is named Lila (aka DeLilah, LilaBelle, etc.) The one I had before her was named Madam; I almost named her Miss Priss because she walked like she was wearing high heels...
I loved her with all my heart. She died a couple of years ago from cancer & kidney failure.
