Dumb Kids Do Dumb Things
This reads like something out of the “Home Alone” film series. Instead of a mischievous boy trying to foil the plans of burglars, we have a child who unintentionally burnt the house down because they wanted to see what would happen if they lit the tree on fire.
Now it’s easy to call them out for being malicious. But remember that children are not born with fully matured brains. And in this case, curiosity caused the cat to commit arson.
