People who live with cats know that our feline masters friends think that they are deities. Yesterday, one of our cats picked the wrong role model for this.
One of our cats went into my sons' room and knocked over a lamp that had been left on. Not only knocking it onto the floor (on top of a pile of magazines) but also managing to remove the lamp shade. By the time I found the lamp on the floor it had been there long enough to heat up the magazines several deep. It was already beginning to smell toasty in there. I'm sure it wouldn't have been much longer before the magazines would have caught fire.
I don't know for sure which cat it was, but I have my suspicions....

Zippy, suspected of attempted arson.
