That genuinely looks like fun. I can't blame the little ragamuffin.

I know ragamuffin has been a term for well over a century, but every time I see it I think about the genre of music first.

Reminds me of my cat when I used to have a cat. He could go into Hunter mode and climb the Christmas tree with his little head poking out from the top of the tree.

Looking at the tree before the cat jumped it, that clearly wasn't the first time :D

Say what you want about cats, but they would never work for the police 😤

Only because cats will work for no one. They only torture and kill things for fun, not for a paycheck.

Showed this to my husband. He said whoever did this doesn’t know cats. They’d need a 12 foot ceiling for that to actually work.

It’s a regular oscillation between utter frustration and absolute adoration. When they’re not being total assholes they’re the sweetest little things.

After seeing all these cats in trees. I think if I had a cat I would either have a tree in a room the cat can't get to(door) or just use a tree decal on the wall

AgathaM t1_izo86ep wrote

My first year of marriage (many moons ago), we had a tree and a cat. The cheapest ornaments we could buy (students and working crap jobs) were these really thin glass ornaments. We would be laying in bed about to sleep and would hear this “tinkle tinkle tinkle” sound of the cat batting at the ornament. Then we would hear it fall and break. The cat would obviously sit silently, waiting to see what we would do (or just mild sadness that it broke) and then would pick another ornament.

That cat broke many of those ornaments. We still have the remainder. They don’t make it on the tree very often but they are a great reminder of our newlywed year and that car. He was a great cat.

Idk what’s up with everyone else’s cat. I’ve had a cat for over 20 years (well several over that span) and they always hide on the floor under the tree. Not one time have any of them tried to jump up into it. 🤷‍♂️

Ironically, that's how the "christmas" tree started, hanging, tho up side down, from the ceiling. It was probably a celtic tradition. Obviously not Christmas, hence the "".

When I had cats the only thing that'd keep them away from the tree was a hairdressers spray bottle filled with water. Took about 3 encounters before they realized it wasn't worth getting wet.

I’ll never get it but cat hags find it adorable to own an animal that has zero respect or boundaries for their owners living space. And that’s not even my biggest problem which is god forbid you don’t like cats cat peoples world fucken melts and your a bad person.

Why do people let their animals do this? Cats on kitchen counters. Dogs biting furniture. You're all morons for not training your pets to do stupid shit like this. It's cute the first time they do something, then the next time they destroy something of value, like a laptop, and it's not so cute anymore.

Spray it with water or discipline it. Teach these rats some discipline or they’ll walk all over you.
