Curiosity will no longer necessarily kill the cat.
Thanks to these groundbreaking kitten mittens, cats investigating dangerous hot hobs and other kitchen surfaces will not burn themselves - as long as they remember to put their heatproof boots on.
The launch of the bespoke boots comes after a survey found 43 per cent of all cat owners worry that their kitchens are unsafe for their beloved pets.

Snug fit: Inquisitive Mischief the cat will no longer scald his paws when he goes to investigate what's cooking in the kitchen

Mrs Cable, 35, from Newbury in Berkshire, said: 'My cat means the world to me, but cooking anything when he is around is a nightmare.
'He gets under your feet when he senses food is being prepared.
'Several times Mischief has hopped up on to the ceramic cooking plate and burnt his paws quite badly.
'Once I had to take him to the vet as the burns were so bad they caused a cyst.'
Mischief's new mittens means he now is free to explore the kitchen without the risk of scalding himself.
Mrs Cable added: 'He is happy to wear them and it's a big relief to know he is safe, particularly because of how badly burned his paws used to get.'
The survey, of 2,000 pet owners, was carried out by takeaway service Just Eat on Facebook to mark National Pet Month. Just Eat said it made the boots for Mrs Cable after she got in touch with them following the Facebook poll.
