A cat's tail catches on fire. Watch what happens next. (This is fine)

I mean, that old saying is because a lot of people lit a lot of cats' tails on fire. Like, as a form of entertainment. And then kept the burnt off tail bits as souvenirs after.
Medieval Europe was a mistake.
But yeah, as everyone is saying, the fire obviously never made it to the cat's skin. It's basically like if someone had their hair light on fire while they were occupied with something else and then just kind of froze in confusion for a sec until the flame burnt out.
If you ever want to see what a flat "what" looks like in cat form, I'm pretty sure this video is it.
The dog looked like he was about to go get help but when the cat didn't panic and the mom walked by he went back to help the cat. Cat was probably just utterly confused. Good thing it didn't run off, it would have just made the fire get bigger.
My experience is that generally animals become very cautious around fire. Not sure why this cat acts like this. Shock or something? Obviously no pain.
No kidding; anyone idiotic enough to leave pets unsupervised near a lit candle is frankly asking for their house to burn down. Good that there was nothing and no one lost here but this could have very easily ended much, much worse. :S
Speaking as a dog person, the dog was clearly going to throw the cat under the bus to the owner.
First sign of trouble ran straight to the owner "look see I had nothing to do with this it was all the cat I swear look its tail is on fire if you don't believe me"

Cats and dogs will get dangerously close to a fireplace because of the warmth. There doesn't seem to be a lot of fear. You have to put up a screen to keep them back.
Man that cat did NOT care at all. Like a weed comedy about pets.
Dog: "...I think...you're like...on fire dude."
Cat: "I am? *looks* Whoa....I'm on fire...."

I'd bet the dog was just interested in the novel smell of burnt hair
