... and a good warning:
If you have a tree near the fireplace, and a dog (or kid) capable of knocking it down, don't use the fireplace.
Dried trees ignite fast, something similar to kerosene is in the sap.
But look at that face. Goooood doggy. I KNOW you didn't knock it over, it just fell.

The Cat Did It: Man Arrested After Trying To Frame Cat For Murder
Published 1, January 27, 2012
In East St. Louis, Illinois, Brett Nash, 45, is accused of conspiracy to murder and then frame someone else for the crime. Not unheard of to be sure in the annals of crime, but the murder was going to be pinned on a cat.
The FBI arrested Nash with the help of a paroled killer who came forward with a bizarre tale of how Nash wanted to abduct, extort and electrocute a wealthy lawyer who was interested in Nashs wife.
According to the criminal complaint, one plot involved kidnapping the lawyer, getting him to withdraw a large amount of cash from the bank, and then electricuting him in a jacuzzi with a radio. He was going to then spread kitty litter around the crime scene to implicate the cat.

He recently acquired the Power of Walking, soon followed by the Power of Running and the Power of Grabbing Things. No curtain is safe. I'm pretty sure they've cordoned off the entire living room at this point.
