      I read it as “i left it unattended and set up in an unsafe manner to begin with.” Lady is lucky the cat hissed.

        Lady’s lucky the cat didn’t go up, run around, and burn the whole place down.

        I like candles…but I only buy the big jars and won’t leave one unattended at all until the flames are below the top of the jar. Can’t imagine using tiny candle containers like this when you have a cat.

      The cat knocked it over and it started to burn the carpet.

      …Or you know, the whole story is some made-up BS but people will upvote it anyways.

      If the surface of the wax overheats the whole surface can catch fire not just the wick.

      Wax, when vaporized, is highly flammable. If the surface gets hot enough it starts vaporizing.

      This more often happens when the wax is low and more heat is trapped by the sides of the jar. Or if you’re a stupid kid and try to heat things with a candle.

      The flames can actually be quite large

        so you’re telling me this cat extinguished a large flame by hissing at it?
