I had a cat like that... silly sod got too close to the Christmas candles one year. I was bringing in the Christmas pud (also flaming) and greeted people with 'Merry Christmas! Shit, the cat's on fire!'

It was the look on the cat's face as he turned round - as if to say 'what's that funny smell? Ooh, it's my bum!'

The cat was fine, long guard hairs flamed and extinguished instantly, thick coat protected him from actual burning.
