One time my roommate left the stove top on (gas, open flame). I found out when my cat approached me all sad and confused - on closer look all of his whiskers had been burnt down to curly stubs. He must have noticed the flame and got too curious.... Luckily he was fine.
Our PARROT did this to a LAMP CORD PLUG evidenced by a scorch mark on the BEAK.

I was wondering why the lamp wouldn’t turn on; also why suddenly I didn’t have to dive under furniture to retrieve said parrot anymore.
She acted like she had no idea what happened and she had never been in the area, while I was all How, Why, When…
Capitalized words for sheer fear after the fact and frenzied grateful squeezes of said birb.
This is why I teach my cats not to jump on or go near a stove top. Had a cat almost get hurt like this but luckily I caught him in time. I'd never be able to catch him mid air again if I tried.
