Something fishy about this story of a cat on fire

Curiosity killed the cat...

[faithhopecharity]

Cats do not ordinarily catch on fire. Unless maybe they’re on a hot tin roof?

Poor kitties. Cats do like pork chops, a lot! I had a cat catch his tail on fire when he walked across the counter near the gas stove. (No he was not supposed to be on the counter, but you know how well cats listen). Anyway, I did manage to put his tail out before any harm was done to him or the house. Could have been bad.

Cats are notoriously curious, but not normally so about fires. How would it have achieved ignition anyhow? By jumping in the middle of the flaming grease? Again sounds very uncatly of the cat.

Used to do fire restoration work. This stuff, minus the cat part, happens all the time.

Grease catches fire, flames up three or four feet. Right thing to do is to put the lid on it, but people generally don’t.

What they do is panic, grab the skillet and try to run with it outside or to the sink. Well of course the flames rush up into their face, they drop the pan and the grease splatters across everything. Could certainly splash a cat, who would then obviously take off.

The other thing they do is throw water on the flames, which results in something like an explosion that throws flaming oil everywhere, some of which could of course get on the kitty.

One of his cats caught fire and then ran around the home,

the proper term is "Bungalow Torpedo"....

[Fido969]

That was a Sampson trick.

Sounds like a pigpen.
