November means that it's basically already Christmas, right?

We know that it's still early November. We do. We have not lost track of time. But it seems like the rest of the world has. Christmas is everywhere already! And we're already starting to feel it. The festive spirit… is here. There's something about this time of year that makes even the most ordinary days feel a little more special. And our cats feel it too. They might not understand what all the fuss is about, but that certainly doesn't stop them from getting involved. Investigating the Christmas tree, claiming gift boxes before we've even had a chance to wrap anything, or knocking off every Christmas ornament on our mantel. Christmas is always more fun with cats.

As at owners who go through this every year, and as curators of internet culture, we know that there's no better way to celebrate the season than with a little feline Christmas chaos. Even if it's in early November. A little festive cheer never hurts. And our silly little furballs always make this time of year even more meowgical.

The Christmas tree is the ultimate cat tree for cats. Inside is warm and comfy, and now, there's a TREE there. Meowgical. Purrfection. Every year, they love it.

And every year, they do this to us. And we expect it. We try to find solutions. None of them are quite purrfect. But we keep trying.

And it looks like he absolutely loves this gift!

Listen, you are. Now, please, get down from there without crashing the tree or yourself in the process.

Just watching them sit under the tree stresses us out. Any move could be the end of that tree.

So many shiny things to knock down around Christmas time

Oh yeah. If there was a cat there, that whole village would have been ransacked by now

We wish the solution was this simple in our house. Nothing stops my cat Mia.

You're acting as if these blocks are not going to be their new favorite hiding spot

Listen, he brought you a gift too, and you should be thankful

via TheCatIsInTheBox
12
And we're never mad. Beause our cats are always so happy to create this chaos.

13
Our only quesiton is how does this thing work without toppling over as they climb it

via TheCatIsInTheBox

This is also literally five minutes after the tree gets put up. They really can't help it

No, they don't know, they won't listen, they don't care, and yes, they will do it again and again

16
Gets put in jail, comes out, does it all over again next year

17
The funniest moments really are when they get stuck in there and start yelling for help. Our spoiled house cats don't even know how to handle a fake tree. They would never survive out in the wild

We call them angels when they do things like this on a daily basis, and then we are confused when they don't understand boundaries

This, ladies and gents, is a cat planning a demise so epic for that tree that it will be told for generations, long after he is gone
