Operation Save the Xmas Tree: 20+ Hissterically Whimsical Ways to Keep Christmas Safe From Your Living Room Lions From the Cat Community

Happy meowlidays, feline fam. If you didn't know that cats are obsessed with Christmas trees before getting one, well, you're going to learn that lesson pretty quickly. We don't know what it is about them - maybe it's their twinkling lights, maybe they really like the taste of pine needles, or purrhaps they just see it as an irresistible oppurrtunity to add some more chaos to our household. No matter the reason, we've learned over the years some creative techniques to keeping our cats out of the Christmas tree, and 99% of them are hissterical.

From making a force field of oranges and cinnamon to guarding your tree with a literal cage, you can't say that the cat community is nothing if not ingenious. In the end, we all have to make compromises in life - and if that means having our Christmas tree on the back porch and our fluffy living room lions on the couch with us, then that's one we're willing to make. Be sure to scroll down and enjoy all of these funny feline pics below. We wish you and your felines a safe and hissterical Xmas!
