These Cats Got Into The Festive Season By Helping Their Owners Decorate The Christmas Tree
Christmas trees are supposed to bring out the cozy side of the season, but cats usually have other plans. The ornaments, lights, and branches become a playground, a hiding spot, and sometimes a full-on disaster zone.
This roundup is all about cats getting involved in the decorating process, whether their owners wanted help or not. Some are perched like little stars, some are tangled in the lights, and some seem determined to claim the tree as their own.
By the end, it is hard to tell who decorated better, the humans or the cats. Read on.
I will be your shining star.

It lasted a good couple of seconds.

I will be sitting here for the rest of Christmas.

And he was caught all tangled in the lights.

Some cats do not just inspect the tree, they move in.
Don't I look just fabulous hanging here?

Spot the cat.

He just wanted to take a nap.

Hmm, this looks tasty.

Slowly approaching the prey.

He thought it would taste nice. Turns out it's just good for cleaning your teeth.

Did you need this?

Planning their plan of attack.

He loves it so much, he had to sit in it.

This one looks bad!

No, no, I will do it.

I will be the tree mommy.

I don't care if he is being naughty; this is a great picture!

See the love in her eyes.

I will be your present this year.

You will go no further, human.

I approve this one.

Can I keep it, please?

I am the king of the jungle that is my house.

Not sure if he likes it or not.

You know I am cute.

Oh, let's give it a try.

He totally loves the new spot.

We didn't do it, I swear!

That innocent look they give us.

That's it! I am taking it down.

The wonder in those eyes.

This looks like a nice place to sleep for the night.

The cat version of the Grinch.

Well, he is definitely blending in.

What is this thing?

These are bothering me; can we take them off now?

Guess who won.

Do I look good?

Find the cat.

I am all you need to make it look good.

I need to see it up close.

When you leave them alone for five minutes.

Her first Christmas, and everything is still so new.

He was too excited to wait for the ornaments.

I see you looking at me, human.

He was tired of playing with me.

The amount of information that little brain is taking in is too much.

I am tangled; help!

This is basically the same energy as cats proving they’re the kings of weirdos, mid-mischief.
You can't see me.

So delicious that he is licking his lips.

If only the tree were green, they would not have seen me.

Don't mind me.

This little reindeer wanted a silver nose.

Best Christmas present ever!

When they turn into ornaments.

Kitty love is better than any present.

Mind officially blown!

I will be THE ornament.

What beautiful eyes he has.

Helping his mommy decorate the tree.

This is one weird jungle I am exploring.

Don't know if he is decorating or taking them off?

I will choose which one goes and which one stays.

This is what you will walk in on coming home from work if you have a Christmas tree.

He is patiently waiting for Santa to come.

The new lounge area for the cats.

I will just chill here tonight.

Maybe if I stay very still, she won't see me.

When you look for your cat and find him hiding in the Christmas tree.

He was just too lazy to climb into the tree.

He is not very impressed with the human who is disturbing him.

He is killing the little Santas.

Just a little bit more to the left.

I didn't even see him at all.

Just climbing up the new tree.

We will let it pass because it is your first Christmas.

Nothing to see here! Just a cat sticking out on both sides of the tree.

"What is this thing?"

Well, hello there!

Peekaboo, I see you!

My fabulousness is all you need.

I will be the present.

Sprawled out all over the tree.

I also want to be a part of this tree.

Do you see him?

Nap time in the tree.

You can't see me.

When both decide to redecorate.

And there go the ornaments.

My toys also belong on the tree.

So this happened five minutes after the tree was put up.

Searching for the perfect spot.

Find me if you can.

I am the king of the tree.

I will be waiting until you leave to climb into this green thing.

This sunny spot is just perfect.

I sit here now.

The eyes gave him away.

Be careful, little one; those things can hurt you.

You can't see through my disguise.

Nobody gets past me.

The perfect photo.

Predator eyes.

I sleep here from now on.

Little Oreo enjoying herself.

I look good, right?

Look at that shiny thing.

Help me, woman!

He clearly does not like it.

Hidden away in the wild Christmas tree.

He decided that there should be no silver bells on the tree.

I like the taste, okay!

The bodyguards of the tree.

He's too big to get up there.

I want to be alone with it; leave!

Fascinating, this thing they call a Christmas tree.

I am part of the presents.

Little Christmas fur helper to the rescue.

Blending in pretty nicely there.

You will never stop me, human!

Christmas decorating never really stands a chance once a cat gets involved.
