That's a very good tip. Let it also be understood that cat's are one of the more flammable of the household pets. It's fairly easy to set ablaze that furball of attitude known as the cat. Hamsters are only slightly less flammable, followed by dogs, gerbils, and other rodentia. It takes a bit more effort to ignite pretty polly, and even more effort for any aquarium dwellers or reptiles. Turtlles are probably the most difficult to really get going. They need to smolder for a substantial period of time before flaming up. For those of you who may not have caught on, yet, my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek. Duh. Anyone knows that gas will make any pet flame up -regardless. :-)
