Something feral ignites in your cat's eyes when you put up the Christmas tree. Whether it's the piney smell, the bristly branches, or the pulsing LED lights wrapped tight around the boughs, cats can't seem to resist the allure of destruction. Although we know it's in a cat's nature to maim and tear apart the furniture in your home, during the holiday season, they forget all hooman discipline and go ham on the Christmas decorations.

If you're a hobbyist with a miniature town on your dining table, prepare for the ceramic townsfolk to be terrorized by the giant feline beast. And if you're an Elf-on-a-shelf kind of family, be ready to come into your living room one day to some elven carnage when the elf's button eyes are chewed to oblivion. And if you have any sort of Christmas tree set up, let's just hope you don't have any breakable ornaments that can pawsibly be caught in the crossfire of your cat's playtime.

During Christmas time, cats have a field day of play and mischief– they're acting as if the entire Christmas tree was filled with catnip! So let's unite, fellow cat lovers, and laugh at the chaos in our homes this year. Just make sure your Christmas tree isn't in range of the fireplace and all will be well and merry.
