The holidays are a time for joy, laughter—and total chaos if you have pets. From toppling Christmas trees to shredding ornaments, our furry friends bring their own kind of festive mischief. Curious? Explore these amusing stories of festive chaos and discover why our beloved pets are the true stars of holiday mischief!
Perfectly wrapped Christmas presents? That’s impossible if you have a pet! See what Dolly did to the gifts underneath the Christmas tree! Ripped them all over!
But look at her; she seems apologetic after ruining the gifts. With her doe eyes, it’s like she’s saying, “I’m sorry for the trouble I have caused. I won’t do it again.”
If only dogs could speak, eh? I’m sure we’ll give them another chance because they’re cute and just reckless…. sometimes. Or maybe always? Are your dogs like Dolly, too?
That turkey looks yummy! No wonder this dog wasn’t able to help himself. (I don’t need you to roast it; just give it to me. I’ll make this work.)
Keep your Christmas turkey away from your dogs, especially if you’re still preparing it! They don’t know the difference between roasted and raw. If they want it, they want it!
I’m so curious if they let him have all the turkey or if they cut the part he bit! Either way, it will be eaten and shouldn’t go to waste.
This cute little girl in the photo chased their cat when things got messy. Such a beautiful Christmas tree, abundant with joyful ornaments, only to fall on the floor, leaving everyone SHOCKED!
Don’t mess with cats if they have the time of their lives. Look, the catto was just peacefully eating! The little girl’s stunt made it run away and hid underneath the Christmas tree.
Feeling so threatened, the cat mistook the tree as its sanctuary. However, the slight nudge from the kitten’s body forced it to fall right in front of their faces.
Mystery solved, everyone! It’s not the rats or squirrels, but the most unexpected one—the rabbits! Finally, Reddit user u/henryhendrixx has ended the blaming game.
Thanks, CCTV. You’ve given them the answers. Now, other suspected animals are walking freely at night without suspicions! Rabbits truly can’t resist wires. We’re all surprised!
Another Reddit user commented, “Despite my watchful eye, I’ve lost 5 iPhone cords and one fan to my rabbit in the last two months. They love that spicy hay!” Rabbits are not that innocent, then!
We’ve seen it coming; we know the Christmas tree isn’t safe with these two cats fighting each other. (It’s the Christmas season, kittens! Let’s just love, shall we?)
“This is my tree now.” You can’t help but chuckle at how pets tend to see Christmas trees not as decorations but as giant, glittering jungle gyms designed exclusively for their entertainment.
In this case, while the cat seems unharmed, it’s clear that this Christmas tree didn’t survive the encounter. It ended up with its branches broken and scattered over the floor!
If I won’t be the topper, let me have the topper! Choose, human! I wouldn’t let go of this star. It should’ve been my Christmas gift.
The cat clung to the star like a toddler wanting a toy so badly. Now, this cat became the star on top, completely stealing the spotlight from the star topper. (I got your attention, dad!)
She/He was born for this role—well, not necessarily to ruin Christmas, but to show that they can make holidays challenging for their fur parents!
We’ve warned you. If you want to wrap your presents, do it away from your pets. At first glance, you would think she’s wrapping her own cat instead of a book!
But no cattos would want to be enclosed in a wrapper. They want to play with the wrapper! (Two different things you need to remember, folks!)
Kudos to this cat who didn’t scratch the book but instead jumped to skip it like they’re in a hurdle race! It clearly wants to play, and when cats demand attention, they’ll get it.
Sorry, human. I’ve got no choice. I don’t see any restrooms around, but this tree? Definitely perfect for me! Think of me just watering the plants, hm?
Cute or rude? He knows he did something terrible when the tree fell while he was peeing. The look in its eyes, “Oh, no. What have I done? Am I not getting presents later?”
Poor doggo, but we can’t blame you. Stopping yourself from peeing is unhealthy, so maybe you did the right thing after all. But spare the Christmas tree next time!
Yep, you’re not hallucinating. This Christmas tree was purposely installed rather bizarrely to keep the cats away from it! A brilliant idea, right? Well, only if you’ve underestimated cats!
Cats will always find ways. “That’s easy-peasy, human! Try harder.” That’s how I imagined the voices in their heads when they saw this Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling!
The catto Indiana-Joned its way to the branches, proving that it can conquer any obstacles inside the houses. Nothing is impossible if you’ve worked hard enough!
Or you’ll end up being like this. Poor catto! The Christmas tree made him vanish in just a snap! There is no trace of a naughty cat messing with the lights.
Spoiler alert: the cat got out from the branches, but we can’t help but sympathize with its experience. It must’ve been… traumatizing. Lesson learned for you, naughty cat!
Don’t go into the light, don’t let it tempt you. Let the ornaments hang in peace. Surely, this cat regretted its decision. Do you think next Christmas it’ll do the same thing?
Dogs are not great when it comes to camouflaging, but trying their best to hide is enough to soften our hearts! Give this dog its first Oscars, y’all. He was biting that branch really well!
Nice attempt to hide the scene of the crime, doggo. You’ve almost fooled me! However, moving closer… we’ve seen the damage has been done.
He knew he was in trouble, and he was caught in the act, but see his cute doe orbs! (You’ve forgiven instantly! Who can resist that?)
Looking so innocent right there, doggo. The ultimate Christmas Topper, indeed. How about we move the camera downwards and see that the tree has fallen sideways? Surprise!
Staring blankly outside their house, avoiding eye contact with his fur parents, he knew right along that he wasn’t getting his treats. (Poor cutie pie. Can you reconsider it?)
“If I look at them, I will look more guilty.” That’s probably running on his mind when he realizes he just ruined the Christmas tree!
Fur parents have prepared this time, not allowing another Christmas to be ruined. Though covering your Christmas tree with plastic doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing, it had to happen!
You feel the rejection in the cat’s eyes when it can’t scratch the Christmas tree anymore! It must’ve been so uncomfortable to see it with ornaments and branches intact. Laughs.
Better luck next time, catto. There will always be Christmas for you to look forward to, hm? Don’t lose hope! You can be reckless in other ways… have you tried stealing the turkey?
Let’s congratulate this catto for ruining the Christmas tree for the 12th time! Yes, we’re not exaggerating that. 12th time in just one hour, can you believe that?
You think being a fur parent is easy, huh? They can be cute, soft, and squishy, but they can roll your eyes at you and ruin your Christmas decorations!
I can’t really imagine the patience and understanding of fur parents. That’s why they’re one of the kindest people you could ever meet. Salute to all of you!
How would you feel if you gave your dog a plushie as a Christmas present, but it only took him two hours to rip it off to pieces?
Even slept after ripping the plushie off! He’s not guilty at all. It’s the price of giving him a cute plushie he could just bite anytime he wants!
I feel sad for the plushie, but it is what it is. It served its purpose for a very short time. Regardless, the doggo loved it. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t play with it, right?
Let’s say it together, “Mac, you’ve just gained your ownership of that Christmas tree! Congratulations!” Well, he marked it in his own unique way (by peeing). Yay or nay?
He absolutely didn’t care that his fur parents were watching! He just kept going, releasing it all. Who could blame him anyway? Holding your pee is bad!
The Christmas tree was not ruined but we’re sure it smells something (I’d rather not say!). Mac may have been relieved, but the fur parents will take responsibility for the cleaning! Merry Christmas, I guess?
Buddy is right here watching a movie with his fur parents, but he can’t hide his excitement when he sees another dog on the screen! (Is that a friend?)
This is a sign for his fur parents to get him his playmate, really. He’s longing for it! He wouldn’t jump at the TV screen if he didn’t like meeting another doggo.
Though, there was a twist! Without expecting to lose his balance, he tried to take hold of the Christmas lights! But his weight was too much for it to support, and he fell—with the decorations!
Sorry about this trouble, Baby Jesus. Cats want to steal the show. (As always.) “Nativity scene is overrated, let us handle Christmas from now on,” says probably by one of the cats!
Instead of watching the birth of Jesus Christ, the three wise men were witnessing a brawl of cats! This is not the silent night they talked about in songs. I’m sure!
What if one of the wise men was praying to God that the cats should not run over him? Oh, help! Where’s the Baby Jesus? Did the orange cat step on him? No!
The caption says it all. Who needs ornaments if you have pets? Having ornaments on your tree would make it look special, but if you have cats—forget about it!
One of them will end up chewing and biting the Christmas balls. Before Christmas Eve, they are all broken or thrown in the trash. Keep things practical instead.
No ornament tree is the new trend! Cats will be your live ornaments! Isn’t it cool, though? A very unique concept one must explore! Just keep them away from live wires!
Alright, buddy. Continue guarding that chicken before somebody gets that from you. I can’t deny this catto’s kinda territorial. He got his eyes on the prize!
He’s grabbing the bowl like he’s ready to pull it away from whoever dares to touch it. “This is mine, mine alone. Keep your hands off it.”
But since it’s Christmas time, can I get the drumsticks and catto? It’s my favorite. I’ll give you fish in return. Deal? Come here, let me shake your cute paws!
Who’s the real photobomber? The puppy or the people behind him? Can I say it’s the latter who ruined this Christmas selfie? (I might be biased because I love dogs more than people!)
Definitely an iconic family Christmas picture. I can seriously hear the dog saying, “Hey, I wanna join, too! I’m part of the family, guys! Hello!”
Oh, that cute smile. He knows what he’s doing. Apologies for the two girls he covered! He didn’t realize that when the photo was taken!
He played it cool; he knew what he did, so he made the most out of it. He could’ve just run away to escape the scene of the crime, but sitting on it wouldn’t have been a bad idea after all.
This cutie transformed their Christmas tree into a dog house. How innovative he is! I appreciate the creativity. What masterpiece is he up to next?
Most importantly, let’s not forget to consider the hazards if we leave our pets alone with Christmas decorations that are attached to a power source! Electric wires could pose risks if chewed on or tangled.
Our dogs got 2 new toys from my boyfriend’s mom for Christmas. They didn’t even last 2 minutes; they’re very proud of themselves. (They must’ve liked the gift…too much!)
They enjoyed ripping their gifts into pieces and scattered polyester fibers all over the house. You thought they were having a white Christmas? No, those were the innards of their plushie friends!
Their expressions screamed, “We had the time of our lives!” They aren’t sorry, not even a little bit. In fact, they look like they’re ready for round two if given half the chance.
At this point, Baby Jesus was just a mere guest for this orange cat. He kicked the son of God out! Do you think you can control me? That’s just cats’ superiority complex!
What was once a beautifully arranged nativity scene, complete with figurines of animals, is now occupied by this frisky kiddo. A cozy throne for his plans for Bethlehem!
Anyway, it doesn’t look like he’s leaving anytime soon. We better pack up, baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Inform the three wise men of our new address!
Even if the carpet has sentimental value, that’s just—I don’t know…unsalvageable? What a way to greet your grandma a Merry Christmas! (I’m not feeling good with this.)
Well, that wide-eyed, almost apologetic look says it all—he regrets it, but I feel like he will do it again with the new carpet. Laughs.
Is this a thoughtful Christmas gift to receive? I don’t think so. It’s now in grandma’s hands if she’ll ever forgive this doggo for scratching her carpet.
Suspects: two cats; victim: Christmas tree! Unfortunately, this Christmas tree didn’t live to witness Christmas Eve because two cats enjoyed its presence too much!
Ah, the futility of keeping the decorations intact when curious feline paws are involved. The image feels like a crime scene, with ornaments serving as evidence of the chaos!
And the poor owl? I’m sorry we’ve failed to protect your soft, squishy body. The cats liked you so much they were eager to bite you!
Hello, folks! Get on your seat as we are about to witness a high-stakes acrobatics show from a…. cat. He singlehandedly turned Christmas into a Cirque du Soleil performance! (Breathtaking.)
Take a look at that dangling position. God, it makes me laugh so hard! It’s as though the cat is saying, “This is fine. I planned this.”
But think of the possibility just in case it wasn’t anchored securely to the ceiling. This catto is risking himself for an injury. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
And then they touched it. They inspected the tree as if they weren’t the cause of its downfall. (We saw what you did, but we’ll pretend we didn’t!)
No one can stop these huskies from figuring things out independently, that’s what. They’re curious beings, and the Christmas tree was their subject of curiosity.
So, as you decorate this year, prepare for a little chaos and a lot of love. Oh, don’t forget patience, too. Bring it with you all the time.
We’re not only talking about pets ruining Christmas here. How about stealing Christmas, too? (Decorations, literally.) Thanks to the pet camera, the cute culprit was identified!
Though I doubt if he’ll be punished—to which I hope he doesn’t—because I know the intention was not to steal but just to play! Yay!
Maybe this will remind the fur parents to give their fur babies toys so they won’t steal your house’s Christmas decorations!
It’s literally the “dogs are the main character” vibe. Do you want to take videos of yourself? Put me at the center, I don’t care if you audiences see you or not—they should see ME!
This furry photobomber has stolen the spotlight from what was supposed to be a wholesome family memory. He has decided to be the star for this Christmas. (Are we complaining? No!)
I’m happy that this moment was caught on camera because we’ve seen how our pets inject themselves into our lives most significant moments, sometimes in the most unexpected ways.
Rumor has it that if you want your cat to leave your Christmas decorations alone, traumatize them by using them. Now, that explains the owner scaring this cat with a Christmas tree! So witty!
I don’t if that works, but what if traumatizing them will only make your pets aggressive towards Christmas decorations? We all have different ways to cope with our traumas, you know.
Are you thinking of trying this out with your pets? Well, if it worked, we’d appreciate you sharing it with us so we can save lives… I mean, save Christmas time!
If there’s one thing cats love, it’s defying expectations (and sometimes gravity). Did this cat think he’s a mountain climber who’s participating in Red Bull’s extreme sports?
The tree that was once sturdy was already leaning precariously because the catto was holding for his life through its branches! We’ve seen what happened. It didn’t go well. Yikes.
You can practically see the cat’s focus as it targets the top of the tree like it’s Mount Everest. However, he surrendered to his fate and the tree fell along with him! Haha!
Running out of toppers? Cats would like to volunteer! Look at this ginger cat perched proudly atop a Christmas tree as if surveying its kingdom.
“All of you, bow to the king!” That’s the mood he was setting up for. He looked at us as if we were born to serve him. Well if you’re this cute, I’ll serve!
The fact that the decorations aren’t even up yet makes the timing even funnier; the cat didn’t even wait for the ornaments to join the party before ascending to its throne. (An impatient King!)
Don’t be confused, folks. It’s a Christmas tree, not an hourglass. Laughs. It might look like one, and it’s because of… pests. Oh, wrong! I mean, pets!
The tree itself looks like it’s been through a war or someone with a battered holiday spirit this Christmas. But wait, this could still work if you’re artistic enough!
How about placing designs in the middle and covering them up with ornaments or other Christmas-inspired decorations? Find better ways because that’s a lovely-looking tree! It would be such a waste to dispose of that.
You’re not seeing a multiverse of madness. They’re all in one house! Wild, right? I foresee a Merry Christmas for this family because the more, the merrier celebration could be!
While watching this video, it felt like I was watching my weird dreams when pets just gather in one place, even though the context is inappropriate!
But I am not dreaming right now, it’s a real content! These pets are celebrating Christmas with their fur (or feather) parents! It’s kinda surreal if you ask me! Rare situation, too!
“It’s that time of year again!” They are used to it. Trust me. That phrase alone is the proof! How often had this cat been stuck in the Christmas tree branches?
The more this cat moved, the more he got tangled. Help! This made this moment hilariously funny. You couldn’t resist laughing at the cat and feeling pity at the same time.
If you have pets, prepare for the little mischiefs during the holidays, but we assure you, you’ll also be getting a lot of laughter! That’s why we love our pets so much.
You don’t want to play with me today? I’ll play tug of war with the Christmas tree instead! (Fancy rope you’ve got there, doggo! Wires!)
When you’ve got no choice and are bored, everything can be useful and worthy of fixation! It explains the doggo’s attention towards the tree. He couldn’t find anyone to play with!
But hey, we’re a little bit concerned here. Tugging on lights or garlands can lead to electrical hazards or choking if the materials break off! Protect your pets as much as you can!
Snake. Yes, a baby snake! Very unexpected guest and we are all alarmed! At first, you’ll think the cat was trying to mess up the tree, but only if he could speak!
This clever cat used the Christmas tree skirt to hide the baby snake he brought inside. Gosh! He treated it as a staging ground for its wild hunting trophies.
Not an innocent cat, indeed. It has its own wild pursuits in secrecy! But binging live prey into the house can be dangerous—for both the cat and the humans involved.
No, he’s obviously not in the mood for Christmas! He’s feeling skeptical; that’s what I can say based on his cute yet terrifying reaction! (Beware!)
Even though he was dressed in a festive red and white holiday sweater, this “spooky boy” looked less than thrilled to be roped into the Christmas spirit.
Before the celebration could even commence, he already wanted to end it. Same, we’re not in our best selves sometimes! We can’t force him to like Christmas.
Ruined, but not literally. He just changed the application, and obviously—the innocent cat didn’t know what to do! So clueless yet so cute! (Screams. Can I pinch those cheeks?)
Looking at him fully engrossed in the iPad, batting at the screen as if the virtual “prey” were the real prize, I just want to cuddle him up! He’s so innocent!
Apps designed for cats featuring digital mice or fish are increasingly popular, but they can also lead to accidental taps, swipes, or—if you’re unlucky—purchases. So, keep your eyes on them!
Until reality hits. The dog gave the vibe of “calm before the storm,” and we were right! The beautiful, glistening tree at the back? Ah, let’s have the ornaments checked!
The numbers humorously mark the latest casualties. (May those ornaments rest in peace.) Perhaps, he thought it was more of a toy than a decoration. Can they really differentiate that? No, of course!
If they can safely bite on something, then no problemo! Everything is a toy if you’re brave enough. Haha! Bite, feel, and play! It’s the circle of life.
The redecoration we don’t want to happen in our house. Ever. Help, they turned a once-cozy couch into their own chew toy! Oh. My. God.
If I were the owner, I see myself getting a heart attack. The couch was completely ruined! Where would the guests would sit now this Christmas? On the floor?!
With bits of foam, fabric, and stuffing scattered across the floor, my anxiety increased almost in an instant! Are you still sure you’re getting pets? Or you might think twice?
Why have one cat if you can have more than one? They will not only chew your Christmas ornaments; they will give you a broken tree pole!
“You want chaos, we’ll give you chaos.” is these cats’ life motto! We’re lucky to witness it. (Wait, are we really, though?) In real-time, there is no filter, just pure honesty.
This is no ordinary holiday mishap; it’s a full-blown demolition. If these cats aren’t cute, they’d probably get a scolding from their fur parents! (Let them pass, it’s Christmas!)
Imagine you have to wake up every day and see your Christmas tree, which is in good condition before you’ve slept, looking gloomy and sad the next morning!
It’s not like you’ve forgotten to water it because it’s plastic. Also, it does not need sunlight or water to live! How would you approach this mystery? Get a pet camera!
Now, the culprit’s exposed! It’s not a lack of photosynthesis. It’s sad-looking because your cats made it as their jungle gym. Important note: The black cat behaves innocently, but the other one commits the crime!
If there’s one universal truth about cats, it’s this: they always find a way to insert themselves into whatever you’re doing-especially if it’s something important.
The carefully laid-out wrapping paper? The perfectly positioned box? It becomes irrelevant when this cat decides it’s nap time.
It reminds me of Sheldon Cooper’s “That’s my spot” line! You can’t wrap presents here, human, unless… you want to wrap ME as the present!
