about Beethoven, our male cat who was a REAL CHARACTER. One Christmas season we had family over for a visit. We were all sitting in the living room, decorations everywhere and lit small candles on the coffee table.

Beethoven came strolling along, nonchalant as you please, waving his long gray tail back and forth. Of course, the TIP CAUGHT ON FIRE as he waved it like a kerchief. Beethoven continued on, undisturbed. The waving DID PUT THE SPARK OUT. ROFL!!!!! Oh, he was one of a kind, that one.
