A young orange cat named Robin SweetPotato has decided that this holiday season is his moment to shine — and he shone by “decorating” a Christmas tree. Instagram user and Robin’s owner @robandmickey shared a video showing the curious cat taking on his Christmas tree with full confidence. He treats the decorating process like a personal project as well as a playground.
Cat kicks off holiday season by decorating first Christmas tree in festive video
The adorable video begins with the cat pacing around the Christmas tree while a full bag of ornaments sits nearby. He doesn’t wait for an invitation. Instead, Robin swats at the ornaments, paws at the branches, and then eventually makes his first big move: he climbs straight into the tree. He bats at the decorations, stepping from branch to branch like it’s a part of his everyday routine.
After climbing down, he goes right back up again. This time, he crawls deeper inside, pushing branches aside and giving ornaments a few careful taps, and honestly, it looks less chaotic and more like he believes he is truly helping.
As the video moves on, more and more ornaments appear on the tree, and Robin eventually steps back — just long enough to settle into his tiny pet bed beside the final setup. He sits there calmly, almost as if happy about his work.
Robin’s antics amused his viewers. One person wrote, “Orange activities,” while another joked, “Christmas tree ❌️ Cat tree ✅️.” Someone else added, “He’s the decoration,” and another said, “That’s some sturdy Christmas stuff you got there.”
Some viewers noted the unmistakable behavior of an orange cat, with comments such as “Just an Orange doing Orange things,” while others enjoyed watching him work through each stage. One viewer summed it up with, “Every decor has to be cross checked,” and that’s exactly what Robin was doing. It’s safe to say Robin SweetPotato is officially ready for the holidays.
