I get that this is Hacker News catnip and everyone is going to rail against hi-tech and smart home features now, but I have a plain old-fashioned gas stove with knobs and dials and I have seen my cat turn it on before. Not on purpose, of course. She just jumped up there, knocked a dial into position, then sat on it, activating the sparking function. It was pretty scary and I've done what I can to train her not to go up there, but at the same time, stove flames don't leap to the ceiling. Don't keep anything flammable on an unattended stove and it shouldn't start a fire. Note that these people left an unattended pot full of grease sitting on the stove. When you're done cooking, clean up.
