Hey ya Bunny...no I have it like in a ceramic deal with a hole in it..where you put the candle amd the top has like a bowl in ceramic that you put aromatherapy and water in and it cooks it all night...or close till the candle burns out...Its on a table with nothing but a close and metal light on it...I dont think my cats would jump on the table they never have....its been maybe 2 years I have been doing this...in hopes of sleep without meds
