Oh, 'tis that season. The one when your grandma gives you yet another ugly Christmas sweater, as if you asked for it. And then you're forced to take family pictures wearing that ugly, itchy thing (and wear a smile while you're at it). But if you're a cat pawrent, you don't have to walk this walk alone… You have your cat with you. And as certified fluffy best friend - they're here to celebrate (or suffer?) this ugly Christmas sweater weather with you.

So… [drumroll]… Welcome to 2025's ugly Christmas sweater contest - cat style!

Cats might not like to wear things (unless they're Elsie, that talking cat - have you seen her asking her hooman to wear her clothes? Absolutely adorable), but since cat pawrents everywhere are forced to wear these, obviously they made sweaters for their cats as well. So who would win this year's cat's ugly sweater contest? Will it be the chonko bonko cat who had to wear an XXL sweater to contain that holiday extra weight? Will it be the kittey wearing a matching ugly sweater with their hooman? Will it be two meowjestic cat siblings, sitting beneath the Christmas tree?

“Mama, I require your assistance with removing this ugly piece of cloth you unwittingly put on me a minute earlier. Chop, chop, Mama, make it quick so I won't enact my meowing revenge at 3 AM tonight.”

“We were not born with fluff - but we wear it purroudly for Christmas. We're just like other cats, but our sweater furr is much more meowing merrier! These sweaters are not ugly at all."

This ginger boy looks shocked. Maybe he got a whole box full of tuna cans for Christmas? Maybe a whole Christmas tree made of catnip? We'll never know - but we sure do hope he got a great gift.

Look at these siblings wearing the same ugly Christmas sweater like they're the Weasleys or something. All they need is some extra orange furr, and they're all set to enter the feline version of the Harry Potter universe.

Is this it? Is this the elf on the shelf?
Because if it's not, it most definitely is a Christmas feline fiend, or a wizard's familiar that likes to dress up.
Either way - let's move on to more merry cats in Christmas outfits…
