Burnt the cat

When I was about 13 I was over my nans house for the wknd (parents split when i was younger,and we had visits with my dad every other weekend,and as his house was small me and my sis stayed at my nans with him)
Anyway,
I was at that age where I was discovering myself and used to stay up really late and when everyone went to bed I'd watch the soft ** on live tv (English tv channel at the time)
I also used to raid the drinks cabinet, used to see my nan whack back a whisky like it was water,I tried it doing it once and holy ** never again!
Non of this has anything to do with the confession,just bored and reminiscing.
The cat...
Don't worry ,he wasn't hurt.
My nan had 2 cats,and the male one,a lovely friendly ginger tom was with me on the sofa.
On the coffee table was a box of tissues along with Murray mints and some pot pourri,standard old folks table, and of course,my dads cigarette lighter 🚬
Bored ,I played with the lighter and watched the flame, the cat had got up and was between my feet and the table having a stretch,and I decided stupidly to get a tissue and light it. Dumb I know.
Little did I know how quickly a tissue flashes off,and up went the flame!!
I panicked and dropped it,and yep, it landed on the cat!!! Poor thing freaked out and ran and I stamped out the tissue.
He came back in 10mins later and only had a tiny bit of singed hair and was fine.
I just felt really guilty and bad for him as he was a lovely cat and now at the age of 35 I still feel sad for him!!😁
