Every kid, grown-up, and even their pets have reasons to feel joy during Christmastime. Cats are no exception to this rule, as owners are splurging to spoil their felines more and more every year. As the UK's pet care retailer Pets at Home reports, sales of cat Christmas products have increased by 26% this year.
And, to honor our internet overlords, Bored Panda has prepared you a collection of cat memes from the aptly named Facebook group "Cat Tag Memes." So, as you watch your own kitty destroy your Christmas tree once again, enjoy these funny posts that brought joy to many cat lovers around the world.

The man is happy because the cat has honoured him with his presence
For many, Christmas is a family holiday. And what kind of pet parents don't consider their cats and dogs part of the family? Many, in fact, do, as nine out of 10 Americans plan to involve their pets in their holiday celebrations. But when it comes to who's been naughty and who's been nice, cats seem to be the more common troublemakers at home.
When pet supplies and food retailer Chewy asked people about the naughtiest things cats do on Christmas, 43% of the respondents complained that they have a tendency to mess with the gifts under the Christmas tree. Whether they're unwrapping them, scratching the paper, or completely shredding them to pieces, some kitties are better kept away from the family's presents.
Cats are also masters at climbing, and the Christmas tree is often the victim of their bouldering ambitions. 30% of the respondents in the Chewy survey admitted that their feline climbs the Christmas tree occasionally. Sometimes the poor tree can't handle all the violence, and 14% of the time it gets knocked over.
28% of the respondents also complained that their cats kept getting tangled in the decorations. So, your Christmas lights, elves, and other knick-knacks aren't safe even with a cat walking around the house. Cats are really gunning to be the central chaos agents of Christmas, it seems.
Owners want their pets to feel the Christmas spirit too. When it comes to cats, 45% of owners plan to get their cats a Christmas present. The most popular pet gifts are toys or some sort of enrichment items like puzzles, special holiday treats, and holiday-themed outfits. 27% of pet owners even say they will include their cat in their holiday card or annual Christmas photo.
Cats being naughty during the holidays may sound innocent and fun, but sometimes it might land your feline in the pet emergency room. Just last year, "Dancing With the Stars" judge Derek Hough shared how his cat ingesting something holiday-related cost him $8,000 in emergency vet bills.
Christmas-related things that can be dangerous for cats to swallow may include:
- Tinsel and other decorations,
- Berries found in holly and mistletoe and poinsettia, as they can be poisonous,
- And some festive foods, including onions, garlic, raisins, and chocolate.
You do know that you haven't fed me for 10 minutes now, don't you?

He needs to save this picture for his dating site profile.
My old cat would then demand that we check all the others doors next to see if it's the same out there.
Is that a Maine C**n? I had just a run of the mill cat (american long hair i think) with the exact same coloring but not ears or fur like that. Id love a Maine C**n, a bonded pair. A kitty the size of a doggo, yes please lol. And Maine Coons are supposed be really loving. My cat didnt know how to cat lol.
But how can a cat think about what it's done wrong? The question does not compute !
And if this was a violin, he's be asking some rather sharp questions about the strings ...
Nobody said which way the emotional support is supposed to be going ...
No, that's a really expensive cat bed. But it means you can stop buying other cat beds and follow up with getting your self a rice cooker. (A cheaper rice cooker)
Yeah, our stray has her own bed, plus a bunch of fleeces and food and water, in our garage. She’s somewhat feral, so still skittish, but we’re slowly getting her used to us, and plan to eventually have her in the house with us and our other cats (we live too close to a busy road, so our cats stay strictly inside, though we do have a screened-in porch and a cat flap in the kitchen door that leads to the porch, so it’s kind of like a catio). We just got her buddy inside, who we recently found out was left behind when her people moved (how can people do that?) a few months before she wandered onto our property, therefore more accustomed to people so easier to rescue, and who has her first vet appointment for her evaluation and initial shots this afternoon. We named her Boots, because of her coloring. Eventually we hope we can get the garage cat in the house and to the vet too. My husband calls her Tigger because she’s a tabby cat.
Very unusual looking breed of cat. We need Lakota to identify them.
