The cat was on fire, so I pet it.
How did you pet the cat with fire?
I've always wanted to pet fire, so I decided to try!
It is wrong to do things without thinking about the consequences. Fire can burn animals and people so you should always be careful around it.
I needed to know what would happen if I pet it
The cat was burning alive and that was not the time. If something is on fire, you should put it out.
