Just 21 Cats Who Are “Helping” Decorate Christmas Trees

We buy climbing trees for cats, so when a cat sees a new tree, one decorated with ornaments and tinsel, it’s only fair that the cat would assume this new tree is a new toy decorated with toys.

When you put up the Christmas tree, your cat is probably thinking, “Merry Christmas to me!”

While a cat hiding in the Christmas tree or sitting on top like a Christmas angel is super cute, if you’re a cat owner, you know that a cat helping decorate the Christmas tree will most likely not end well.

Scroll down to see 21 examples of cats decorating Christmas trees. Although adorable, you’ll probably be glad these pictures aren’t of your tree.
