Every festive season social media gets flooded with cute videos of pets getting right into the décor, and this year is no different with these TikToks already appearing online.
One cat owner shared a video of her kitty sitting near the top of the tree with an intense scowl on her face.

However, both cats climbing Christmas trees and getting stuck into decorations is a “potentially dangerous situation”, according to vet Dr Katrina Warren.
“Climbing up the branches, batting at shiny decorations, or attempting to place themselves as the star on the top of the tree can be a disaster. Not only is there the risk of a toppled tree and items smashed, but cats often ingest tinsel and ribbons, which can lead to an intestinal blockage,” she wrote in an article for 9honey Pets.
“Find a balance between a festive atmosphere and ensuring the safety of your feline friends by securing trees, avoiding hazardous decorations, and keeping a watchful eye on their mischievous antics during the holiday season.”
