The quintessential cat. He or she kind of reminds me of Garfield and he/she is wearing a scarf like my mouse candle. Beeswax burns longer and brighter than regular paraffin type candles without the toxins. Beeswax is non-toxic and hypoallergenic. No other candles compare because they don't go bad. They are easily transportable due to a high melting point. Trim your wick to 1/4 inch or else you will face a large flame of the wick is too long and it can smoke that way. Cotton wicks are environmentally friendly but they will smoke if left in a draft. Never leave a candle unattended and place it on a table in the center to be safe.
