Cats vs Christmas Trees! (A Compilation)

[@sugarmuffin319]

I love how everybody's giggling and filming the cats playing with the tree and then they're so surprised and oh my gosh when the tree comes down LOL

[@Pollicina_db]

Yeah, they sure are dumb

[@sstrykert]

You'd think these were...staged?🤔

[@Fur_ball]

I always tie my tree to something stable when I have a cat. No tinsel.....no flocking and no small ornaments.

[@animatedmoi]

Exactly! But I also noticed a common theme in all the videos….#staged

[@Eneri-z9v]

It makes great views 😂. I don't mind watching this😊.

[@kosmokritikos9299]

Cats take themselves so seriously, yet are among the funniest physical comedians imaginable.

[@Talia.777]

True 😆😆

[@chromicapop4595]

theway these walked up to investigate proved it

[@rustyshackelford312]

We have had 5 cats throughout my life. When christmas came around they all sat under the tree on the treeskirt looking like lil loaf presents.

[@RM-qq5rj]

Mine too and my doggie! They loved sitting on the tree skirt under the tree. Best Christmas presents I ever got under a tree!

[@Batmarc6]

The mental image that you guys are providing is so gosh darn adorable!! But, unfortunately, I think most of us have tales of cats climbing into the tree, swatting ornaments and knocking them down till they break, and of course, knocking down the whole damn tree!! Hence these videos! 😼🙀😹 Lol!… But, again: the images that you guys are describing from your personal experience are so adorable! Thank you so much for sharing! 😻

[@mcdonaldsnilouimnotsure]

my cat loves doing that

[@williamklister3627]

🎵Oh Christmas Tree. Oh Christmas Tree. Your Ornaments Are History.🎵😸

[@dkupke]

I still lived with my father the year I adopted my cat. I’m not sure what it says about my boyhood that it brought back a lot of Christmas memories to hear my dad randomly shout “Get outta there you idiot!”

[@lenax9798]

I'm sooo glad i got a well behaved cat: she didn't jump in the tree, didn't climb in the tree, didn't smack down ornaments, didn't chew on the lights and nor did she knock it down. The worst she did was sniff it and tried to rub her head all over it. I think she liked the lights bc she kept looking at them. I think I'm blessed because she is young and i though it would a nightmare with a teenage cat and a Christmas tree in one house but now our second Christmas together is around the corner and so far she doesn't care.

[@judyheim6998]

Obviously not a real cat- probably an alien in disguise.

[@Catmom2004]

Give her an extra cuddle for me. 💓

[@FhtagnOphelia]

My two cat did the same with the tree. Just in case i make some fresh orange ornametns on the tree, bc they not like citrus smell, but nothing bad happened.

[@garfieldsmith332]

If you have a cat, NEVER EVER put tinsel on the tree. It is deadly to them as they will eat it and can die when their digestive tract gets all screwed up.

[@serenitygilles7064]

Was thinking the same...!

[@AlbertaRose94]

Or they have poop stuck and when you go to pull it off, you discover tue reason why it’s stuck is it’s attached to tinsel.

[@JDoe001]

My kitty LOVES to eat plastic! I found out when she passed A WHOLE GROCERY BAG! 😱 I’m so lucky she lived! (Now I’m extra careful! I’ve shoo-ed her away from the plastic straps on garbage bags, too! Thanks for the tinsel tip! I’m sure the little booger would go for them in an instant! Merry Christmas! 🎄 ✨

[@perdollcattitude]

@@JDoe001 what is the fascination with plastic? is it the smell? lol mine dont eat plastic thank goodness but they do, especially my Persian, loves smell of sweet wrappers, its almost like catnip to him lol ..

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

@ garfieldsmith332 Thank you for that! I was getting ready to say the same thing and then I saw your post about it, Its very dangerous to put tinsel and garland on your tree if you have cats! Also poinsettias are poisonous to cats!

[@Reyeyawn]

Please throw that talking Christmas tree away. That thing is terrifying 😂

[@stevenweasel2678]

ITS HILARIOUS/ 1 OF THE BEST CLIPS I THORT

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

​@@stevenweasel2678That was freaking hilarious! 🤣🤣 Thats one Christmas tree cats won't bother!🤣 They got the case of the Gone A$$! 🤣🤣

[@catwhisperer9489]

This is exactly why my mother always tied the tree, to the wall !!! 😂

[@joseh3564]

A cat just sees a Christmas tree as a jungle gym. Go, cats!

[@annmayer8251]

Eating anything on the tree means expensive vet bills

[@floridafan6931]

Just saw on social media of a woman's kitten climbing her tree, and got it's collar tangled on a branch. The kitten was wearing a breakaway collar, which unfortunately did not release, and the poor kitten was found dead. Please don't let your cats climb your tree. This year I have a new kitten and opted for no tree just to be safe.

[@aquariusrising7019]

I was lucky. My kitty just liked to lay under the tree and look up at the light. He wasn’t interested in the least in climbing. A few low hanging ornaments met their demise through his curiosity but that’s about it

[@badmoonrising209]

Same- my cat knocks down alot of low ornaments

[@artisanwolf2068]

My cat just liked to SLEEP in the Christmas tree. I remember we kept wondering where the fuck she was after we set it up. Then my mom walked past the tree and said “Oh my God Sweetie Belle is sleeping in the tree”. Then she started to wake up after I came over and was really annoyed once we were all over there then gingerly climbed out without breaking anything. She’s broken a few ornaments but that’s really it. Chillest cat anyone will ever meet.

[@philtucker1224]

Steady on AF my grandchildren read these! 🤔🎅🏼

[@Fur_ball]

I'm convinced you should leave the tree up all year just for the cat!

[@joerogers415]

Makes me miss my cats.They always jumped in the tree.

[@calvinguile1315]

I love the ginger at 7:00 🤣, spazzin under the Christmas tree...

[@seanman6541]

r/oneorangebraincell

[@greenspiritarts]

Clearly these cat parents didn’t read rule # 1 of Christmas tree installation in a cat home: “set up tree and wire it it the ceiling before applying any decorations”. Makes the holiday sooo much safer for all to enjoy! Great compilation! Just the thing to watch with a hot cup-a…..thanks! May everyone watching have a peaceful and joyous holiday season! 🎄

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Also no tinsel , on a tree with a cat in the house.

[@realcanadiangirl64]

I nail mine down to the floor!

[@MickyP2]

​@@realcanadiangirl64Not a nice thing to do to your cat.😂

[@JayneW911]

I feel very sorry for any cats and dogs during Christmas and Halloween😂 also he's a big tip to anyone who has cats cuz I used to have three...🎄 You MUST TIE A PARACORD FROM THE TOP OF THE TREE TO THE WALL 🧱..attach a hook to the wall 👍👍 They can climb all they want and the tree NEVER FALLS DOWN 😂😂

[@dawnelder9046]

We always attached with fishing line. At least two.

[@jakeusaf9401]

These people don't make sense they are videotaping the cat getting in the tree and then they get mad when the tree falls down. You should have stopped your cat if you didn't want it to fall down. Theirs no use in getting mad if all you’re going is sitting there videotaping it.

[@mazmellem2773]

Absolutely! Cats like to climb trees and Christmas trees aren't exactly rooted deeply once they've been chopped down and installed inside a house... and then there's all the tempting baubles for them to play with. Cat vs Christmas tree? Cat's going to win!

[@craigsavarese8631]

Our family cat never climbed into our Christmas tree. He would lie around the Nativity Display and lazily bat at low hanging ornaments or lights.

[@JoanBrown-j3e]

Same with ours and, at one point I had five. Never knocked a tree over.

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

Mine liked to sleep under the tree last year (not so much this year) We had to move the baby Jesus to make room for her, lol. Luckily she doesn't show interest in the tree.

[@christinamann3640]

How can you name a cat Siri, put up a tree, and not have your phone respond to your yelling?😂

[@AMN550]

We used to anchor the tree on the floor (if you have hardwood flooring you can easily place two small nails in two opposite sides and then tie two strings from the middle of the tree to the nails) or tied to the furniture or window. Let the fur babies enjoy the Christmas tree! Or place something heavy like 2-3 bags of cat litter on the tree stand and cover them with the tree skirt.

[@rustythecrown9317]

or put the cat litter bags directly on the cats.

[@susankibbey400]

We use to tie our trees up with fishing line attached to curtain rod. Never had a problem..

[@philtucker1224]

Dude we’re not going to hammer nails into the floor.

[@philtucker1224]

Anchor the top of the tree to the ceiling - then it can’t topple-over…..

[@SirenaSpades]

Oh hell no, who would hammer nails into the hardwood floor?? We have strung fishline from the middle of the tree on two sides.

[@jimjam8949]

To any cats watching out there. If any of your owners force you to wear stupid Christmas outfits this year. You have my total blessings to go wreck thier tree AND leave them a half eaten dead mouse at bottom of it. 😼

[@yolandarobertson7104]

I have had cats all my life. I learned to put the true trunk in a bucket and then fill it with rocks. It won’t tip over. Cheap plastic ornament were on the bottom so they could swat them. At 70, I no longer do a tree but have lighted wreaths where they can’t go. Remember cats climb trees usually. Water sprayed on a cat before they climb will also train them.

[@victorianidetch]

This made me laugh thank you, Merry Christmas!

[@cathmcgrigor6779]

Q: Why can't we have glass or ceramic ornaments anymore? A: CAT

[@mh.1568]

Solution, spray bottle with water. My cat only has to see me hold bottle and runs.

[@elizabethpeterson1644]

My sister’s 2nd cat gets into the Christmas Tree. She moved a branch and there the cat was. When I was a kid my family 2 cats lied under the tree. I even did go under the tree to cuddled with one of the cats.

[@apalehorsenamed_death2849]

I'm lucky my 2 are behaved after putting the fear of god into them as kittens they know the tree is off limits

[@brisolovely]

What did you do to them

[@apalehorsenamed_death2849]

Spray bottle, clapping, the voice, and if needed a light swat on the butt. My two are well behaved and very loveable even after getting their bum spanked once in a blue moon as kitten.

I have my tree up in my home office where I can close the door and keep the cats out until January.

[@clare5one]

Instead of a Victorian, dangerous tree, I set up a Nativity set. My set is huge and lights up. Yes it is warm inside due to the lights and my cats "cuddle up" to baby Jesus. It is safe for all involved.

[@bl3343]

To be fair, that singing tree is pretty terrifying.

[@jerricaleonard2123]

I agree.

[@khymanser391]

I don't know why cats love to climb up the Christmas trees and knocking them over

Cats love to climb, and they love shiny things.

[@ronnymatthews4133]

'cause its FUN!!meWOW!😸

[@judyheim6998]

Two interesting things about this video. It seems there a higher percentage of orange cats toppling the trees than any other color and secondly-what dumb cat owner would see a cat it the tree and stand there and video and laugh and yet be totally astonished when the tree fell over. I just attach a couple of eye bolts and use those with string to hold the trip up when a cat or a kid decides to climb it!

[@nubiannile4606]

Cats everywhere climbing and knocking over Christmas trees.

[@katiesteele2528]

My cats are good with the tree. One is old and just likes to nap under the tree, and the other one stays away from him because she knows he’s the alpha.

[@JymmeGardiner]

That brought back memories of when I put up a tree in front of bay windows I had a black cat and at the time I worked nights got woke up to this loud bang and bulbs breaking got up and there he was in the middle of it eating the tinsel so I had to take all off he wouldn't leave nothing alone had just a bare tree up

[@iddqa]

Perfect way to get in to the Christmas mood!🎄 🐈‍⬛

[@jameschan9634]

I've had cats for 45 years. I haven't had a Christmas tree for 44. (happily single, so no big thing). However, the new addition, when she was a kitten, has done a number on most of my houseplants. Oh Well!!

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

Seeing this, I'm glad that we don't have a cat!😂 Our rabbit can only run around under the tree. But we still have to watch her so she doesn't chew on it...

[@ivanka-vdR]

I have become creative in decorating my house without having a tree. Our living room is too small anyway and every year I was always quite bothered by how even a small tree would eat up so much space, so when the cats came and they wrecked the tree I wasn't even sad about not having a tree for Christmas. And there are so many other nice Christmas decorations possible. This year I found this canvas with a print of a tree on it, it actually has lights and you can pin balls on it. The cats leave that alone. And at least it doesn't eat up so much space and it still looks fun. I don't even think the real thing will return in our home. Maybe one day when we don't have cats anymore, but then only if we have a bigger house.

[@philtucker1224]

Ivanka, your lovely comment sounds very sensible and pragmatic and straight from the heart. I am full of admiration for you because most people that comment on KZbin always try to be funny or sarcastic about everything. Please accept my warmest best wishes for Christmas and the new year 🙏🎅🏼

[@rebeccaclementz3756]

Where did you get the canvas print of a tree?

[@kittybeck151]

Instead of having no tree, you can put up a "cat proof" tree - no electric lights, no glass ornaments - just use soft ornaments, such as cloth, felt (you can buy them - I got a bunch at Target at X-mas time), wood, or pine cones.

[@philtucker1224]

@@kittybeck151 That sounds quite cat friendly. Maybe keep it for the whole year? 🐯👍

[@robertheitner1534]

Put the Christmas tree in the corner and tie it to heavy furniture on both sides. Also, you can put heavy stuff over each foot of the tree and never use breakable balls. I put a tree outside on a porch, with ziplocs of gravel over each foot and 50 balls on the tree. In a couple of days, there were 4 balls left on the tree, but the tree was still standing.

As cute as this is... A month of kitty vs tree can drive you up the wall. But, we found a solution this year: Small clothes bag of dried lavender hanging near the base of the tree. Did the trick and our little boogers left the tree alone this year.

We had a plant hook in the ceiling and secured the tree with a bungee cord to it. No glass ornaments… you can enjoy the antics all season with no breakage. Just a lot of retrieving and replacing ornaments 🤷‍♀️🙀

[@SilhouetteSE]

Nibbling on tinsel is very dangerous! If some of that tinsel gets swallowed, the cat may die.

I suggest attaching the tree to the wall similar way attaching a dresser/cabinet to the wall in case it falls.

Our tree had cars on it... and plastic balls at the bottom... well built... he also got the dog to bark at his moment of great triumph despite mommy's dismay at lack of silence. Daddy moved the table a little further away each time for maximum jump skills and maximum approvement from the dog. Cat even grabbed food for the dog to steal from his mouth...

Can't help noticing how so many of the cats are ginger. One of my earliest memories is seeing our two ginger kittens going berserk on the tree, it was like a feline whirlwind. Bit the fairy lights to pieces.

[@028kqaaa17]

My family attached a tree upside down once, it literally was attached to a ceiling, because of the cats XD As I remember it was in 2019. Our kitties didn't show any interest, so next year we decided to put the tree as usual

[@carleenjohnson9063]

Ok Maybe its just me, but if any of my cats over the years, and theres been alot of years, ever attempted to go at the Christmas tree like this, their first attempt was their last attempt. A loud voice and spray bottle did the trick. Trees, real or artificial, as well as decorations, are to darn expensive to become a cat toy. Ive just never seen the humor in it

[@kittybeck151]

Trees with electric lights and glass bulbs are dangerous for your pets. Until your kitty outgrows these behaviors, you can "cat-proof" your tree. I use soft ornaments, made out of felt or material, small wooden ornaments, pine cones. Not glass that will break when kitty knocks them down - she thinks they are toys. For lights, I added a couple of those light-up necklaces. It is a very pretty tree, but you still have to watch your kitty, especially if he starts to chew on anything, like ribbon. ❤🐱🎅
