Just because it's only the beginning of November doesn't mean we can't start getting into the holiday spirit.

There's something about the holiday season that makes everything a little more exciting. The decorations, the festive treats, the pretty lights, and the anticipation of spending time with the people we love. And while some people might say the beginning of November is too early to get into the holiday spirit, we wholeheartedly disagree. Especially when cats are involved. After all, our little feline friends have a way of making every occasion more entertaining, and that is especially true for Christmas time. Trying to climb the Christmas tree, investigating the new decorations, or looking deeply unimpressed by their tiny festive outfits, cats are the best part of Christmas.

As curators of internet cat culture, we're always looking for an excuse to celebrate our favorite little furballs, and the holiday season gives us plenty of reasons to do so. There's no shortage of adorable cats getting into the festive spirit. That's part of the fun! The holidays are all about finding joy in the little things, and few things bring us more joy than seeing cats being their wonderfully weird selves. And also cat memes. Cat memes always make us happier.
