Fur Laughs: 9 Cats Who Love — Or Hate — Christmas Trees [VIDEOS]

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!

3. Christmas Tree Set Up Fail



Before the Christmas tree is even finished being put up, these cats are on the attack. As the human is setting up the tree, the cats cannot stop themselves from getting in on the action.

While the cats might think it’s all just fun and games, they probably don’t realize they are more of a burden than a help. They start jumping in the tree and pulling off all the decorations.

But you have to admit, it’s adorable, right?

4. Cats Versus Tinsel



Thinking about putting tinsel on your Christmas tree? Well, think again because cats see tinsel as the ultimate toy. It’s shiny, fuzzy, and when it moves it’s irresistible to a cat.

This human attempts to decorate his tree, but the tinsel is just too much for the cats to handle. After watching this video, cat parents might want think about skipping the tinsel, or it may end with disastrous results.

If tinsel is swallowed, it can cause obstructions and lots of nasty problems. However, from the cat’s perspective, it’s the most fun decoration ever.
