Nothing says Christmas for a cat parent more than finding your cat attacking your Christmas tree. While the Christmas tree is a beautiful decoration meant to be admired and gathered around to us humans, it’s a completely different story to a cat.
For a kitty, your tree is basically a giant toy with more toys hanging from it — a.k.a. your precious ornaments and decorations.
Of course, we should all make it a priority to always be sure our cats are safe around the Christmas tree. Even though the videos below are cute, let’s all keep our kitties safe this season.
Here are nine adorable videos of cats climbing, attacking, and ruining Christmas trees.
1. Bad Christmas Kitty
This Calico kitty named Izzy has turned this family’s Christmas tree into her official home. According to her human, they cannot hang any Christmas ornaments because Izzy immediately goes after them.
Izzy even loves to sleep in the tree like it’s a cat condo. She’s the reason that this Christmas tree doesn’t quite look the way a Christmas tree is expected to look, as she even knocks off all the lights at the very top!
2. Sneaky Christmas Cat
This pet parent decided to secretly record his cat with a time-lapse camera because, whenever he came home, it seemed that the Christmas tree had been attacked.
When he’s home, his cat plays it cool and does nothing suspicious. But as soon as he leaves, it’s a different story. The feline first checks the window to make sure his human left, and then instantly makes his way to the tree for his attack.
Now that is one smart and stealthy cat, but he’s officially been caught red handed — er, red pawed!
