This was originally meant to be a serious post about sending out love and light in response to all the unrest and violence going on in the United States, and even around the world. Our neighborhood invited everyone to hold a candlelight vigil in their front yards. I think we were the only ones who participated on our block. But my human took some photos and video. Well, the video was serious for about 20 seconds before it became something totally different. See for yourself.
Before long, I started, um, messing with the fake candle.
I guess it is pretty obvious why my human does not own one real candle. Anyhow, stay safe, and don’t let hatred and negativity obscure an important message!
Stay safe, stay strong. Hope you and your family will be good at this time, Summer.
Thank you and your human for participating in the vigil, Summer. We are sad no one else on the block did. These are some sad and disheartening times we’re in. Stay safe, and stay strong.

TW has lots of real candles but hasn’t lit them in years. She should get a fake one cos Pop always axs her to light a candle. TW thought the candle on the table was real in the video the other day and almost passed out when you put your tail on it! HAH! Yes, even our little town is holding a vigil. I’m a little ghetto kitteh and I am George Floyd.
So lovely
A nice gesture and I also do not have real candles. Cant take that chance.
HA! We only use the fake candles but really do like the face they’re SAFE and just as pretty as the real thing!
Hugs, Teddy
Fake candles are the best kind to have around cats. Our humans learned the hard way that those moving “flames” are sometimes irresistible to little cat paws.
Good thing that candle isn’t real!
Mum doesn’t do candles either. She was more afraid with Derby, like he would put his tail near the flame and burn his tail furs! MOL. She won’t even do the candle warmer thingy so no melted wax to get into.
Summer and Human. A cat blog is meant to make a difference, I hope I do, and I KNOW you do and this is an important post.
No-one furred or human, coloured or pale is above another – making us laugh is a bond to value so your video is awesome!!
It was a good message with The inclusion of an extra message to not have real candles around your cat. Mom is on overload with everything that is happening, and she just wants to go to bed and pull the covers over her head. You all stay safe and healthy.

No truer words Janiss! Love you Summer!

How thoughtful. What a lovely gesture. By the way, does Summer ever stop purring. She is a very special girl
My comment isn’t here. OH well.
Awww, I just love you guys to pieces.
Great job it was a fake candle!
We love watching your videos 🙂
That was a beautiful message sweetheart. And our mom doesn’t burn candles in our household either. They can be dangerous in any household with pets or children she says. Purrs and Peace
Lovely message during these times. Purrs
That was nice of you guys to participate, but what a shame no one else on the block did. We’re glad you guys are okay because we hear a lot about LA on the news!
You did a great job and you gave me a chuckle touching the candle.
That was a good message sweet Summer, you can make anyone smile!
We mourn for the man who was killed by neglect too.
Good thing you don’t have real candles. Good intentions though xo
That was a beautiful thing to do Summer, and I’m really glad your Mom knows to not use real candles, your paw would have stung for days sweetie! We are purring and praying for peace and understanding in the world.
Once again Summer cat, you had me laughing
out loud. Your human sure knows you…..it must
have seemed she wanted you to put your paw
there or she wouldn’t have had the candle there.
I was just thinking of a tail getting too close!
Good thing that was a fake candle, Summer. But we did get your message.
Good thoughts from you and your purrson Summer.
The message is needed now.
WE agree. Fake candles are the way to go.
Purrs,Georgia and Julie
Had we not known tat it was a fake candle, that would have been a really scary pic, Summer!
WE hope things will quieten down soon.
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
Smart human. I have known cats who have burnt their whiskers, their butts and even one who singed her side. Flameless candles keep cats safe. But I am glad you were part of the vigil.
What a lovely message in these dark times.
This is heavy in all of your hearts and needs to be discussed over and over. I am so proud of those taking direct action. Thank you for sharing.
That was a lovely thought in these times of sadness and unrest.
Summer, were you hoping for treats if you “rang” the candle?
Summer sending light and thoughts of peace your way.
How lovely 🙂
Thanks for the important message! ❤️ That’s a lovely candle, I got some of these as well, because the kitties can’t be trusted with a real one! I also don’t have flowers anymore… better safe than sorry!
