Poor Fred!

Poor Fred!
Not only does he need to suffer the humiliation of having 'this' photo posted again but he is sporting a 'not so fluffy' tail after last night jumping onto the kitchen bench, going just a little too close to the cooktop and setting his tail on fire!!!! I kid you not! Luckily it looked worse than it was and he actually didn't burn himself but his pride is hurt and the smell of singed fur was not pleasant!

Poor thing! Mine broke his tail a few years ago...that was silly too!

Oh dear! I bet he won't be jumping up near the cooktop for a while....

Was he trying to help with dinner? That's what you get for being helpful! Let that be a lesson to the other people in your family.... sit and wait to be served! ;)

Oh, poor Fred! He must look a sight!

Poor Fred indeed! Just as well there was only damage to his tail (and pride!)

Lucky fur grows back.
Hope the smell has gone.

Guess he'll take better care of his tail now.

We've experienced singed whiskers...

(I suprised not toddler fingers - he seems to understand "It's Hot.")

Oh my gosh, The poor darling. That's one thing our cat doesn't do, is jump up on the bench in the kitchen ... Or at least not that we're aware of. She probably has a jolly party up there when we go to bed, LOL.
