Phal. too close to light?

That is not too close. Ideally, it should be under the light but, due to the spikes I see why it's offset.

Yes, many of us have cats. The mention of which will set off a flurry of cat vs dog posts. I use bitter apple, hot pepper, or Amber Listerine to keep cats at bay. However, I seldom have trouble and never, ever with thick leaved phals.
