Hot off the success of my Dogs vs. Elevators blog, only on a much more lighthearted note for Christmas, we have hilarious videos of cats taking on Christmas.

Sure, cats love to climb trees, but when they were domesticated centuries ago, no one had planned ahead for the holiday season.  Who cares… bring on the funny videos!

They’ve worked hours and spent lots of money on a beautiful tree, meticulously decorated with white lights and matching garland… that’s until this kitty gets a hold of it!

This cat is ticked off, when it ends up stuck in the tree tangled in Christmas light wires.  Remember this on your next bad day at the office!

Here’s another cat stuck in the tree… and this one is not going to allow the owners to remove him without serious injury!

These cats are about to get a surprise when this singing Christmas tree is activated!

Cats were originally thought to have been domesticated by the ancient Egyptians in which they were regarded as sacred animals.  Graves with humans and pet cats goes back as far as 9,600 years.  I don’t think the ancient Egyptians were thinking about cats and Christmas decorations all those years ago!

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

My family has always been cat owners.  I’ve seen our cats upset the Christmas tree, run away with the bulbs, eat tinsel, and even lick candy canes.  There’s a zillion videos on the web of cats destroying trees – I tried to find some of the more unique ones!

While Christmas trees are fun for you and I, they can be hazardous for cats.  Just keep and eye on them during the holiday season and train your pet to stay away from the tree, if possible.  I know, easier said than done.  But, what might be a fun night our for your cat, if they eat the wrong thing, you have a good chance of ending up with a high veterinarian bill!

And now just for fun – a Jersey Joe holiday bonus!  See what happens when Keifer Sutherland – aka Jack Bauer from 24, tangles with a Christmas tree in a hotel lobby!  You pretty much know Jack Bauer is going to win!
