I can attest to this fact.
My boy turned the gas on my stove one night while we were in bed. Filled our entire house with gas. How it didn’t blow sky high I’ll never know other than to say by the grace of God we are ass still alive. The knobs get pulled off the stove now when we aren’t cooking.
And our cat.....he’s still plotting our demise.
For the first time in 30 years, I am fortunate enough to have a gas stove. But, because of the fear that one of the cats will jump up and accidentally turn one of the knobs, we have placed gas/carbon monoxide alarms on each floor. They plug right into the wall, and have battery backup.
