Denali Got Burned – But Did She Learn?

And that my friends, is the million dollar question. Did Denali learn her lesson? Considering the fact that this isn’t the first time she’s done this, I highly doubt it. Done what you ask? Just take a look at the picture below:
Notice anything strange about her whiskers? Here’s another shot, this one is a little more closer:
Oh hey, Denali, your whiskers are looking kind of funny today. Whatever could have happened to them? What happened? I’ll tell you what happened. Yet again, Denali got on the stove and tried to help herself to whatever had spilled on the stove or is still cooking in the pans. Denali has singed her bushy tail, burned her paws, and curled her whiskers quite a few times now. And yet, despite this, she doesn’t seem to learn her lesson. This is why we can no longer leave something to simmer or boil and walk away. We have to stay in the kitchen, or keep Denali locked in a room, because the moment our backs are turned she’s back up on that stove.
Today she decided to lick up whatever drops might have dripped on the stove while I was stirring my butter and garlic sauce for my pasta. No doubt, some dribbled over the pan’s side after I finished stirring the mixture and laid the spoon on the side. I turned around in time to see a gray streak darting out of the kitchen. Later, when Denali came out to pester me for my meal (never mind the fact that she has a dish full of food on the kitchen floor) I noticed the tell-tale sign of a bad kitty on the stove.
This is sadly nothing compared to the time she lost a chunk of fur on her tail and we were smelling burnt fur throughout the house for the rest of the day. Or the time she jumped on the barbecue grill, while the lid was up, in order to steal a bite of the steaks grilling at the time. When will she learn?

Poor kitteh! But you’re right, she doesn’t seem to care too much that she’s getting hurt here, cause she keeps doing it. That’s either a sign of stupidity or rebellion. She doesn’t even look that upset in the photo. I’d be crying if I had whiskers and burnt them.
Julie,
I think it’s a sign that she just thinks with her stomach and everything else be damned. We’ve tried everything, from swats on the butt to a water gun every time we catch her up on the stove. No go, she still does it. After the grill incident we thought she really had learned, since she burned her paws pretty bad. She quit for a bit, just long enough for her paws to heal and then she was back at it. -_-
Aww, poor Denali! I hope she stops stops soon, before all of her fur gets burnt off!.
I thought she would learn not to do it seeing as she’s been hurt so many times. A couple of months ago my cat was doing something similar, he was just constantly jumping on the kitchen units – which isn’t really hygienic. He’s stopped now, we just used to always tell him off and then give him a treat when he got off of them
[...] have Denali, and we are wondering if she learned from her experience. Apparently she likes to check out [...]
Oh no, poor kitty! You would have thought after a few times, she would get the hint that jumping on the stove isn’t a good idea! By the way, I love her name, it’s very beautiful.
Poor Denali. I hope that she learns sometime, but it doesn’t look like she will.
Wow, I thought ours were bad – they mew and ask for food in the kitchen, and try to get in the dishwasher sometimes, but they’ve never got close enough to anything hot to get burned. So far, anyway. I’m glad to see that Denali looks quite happy despite her unpleasant experience.
