For those who love cats and candles - what do you do to ensure that your cat can't touch the candle? The fluffy kitty in my life can't be trusted, but I'd love to be able to light a candle of an evening.

For my cat it was a learn from your mistakes situation, turned my back for 2 seconds and the silly bugger had a burnt a whisker or two. Now he doesn't go near them, he just sort of admires from a distance.

do you want the smell or the light?

Smell you can replicate with melts, light you can get in LED variants.

Ooh, just saw candle cages and lanterns. Just need to make sure it's weighted enough that he can't push it over.

All my old kitties weren't too keen on open flames.

You could put the candle in a glass candle holder.
