23 Meow-tastic Christmas Cat Photos for Instant Holiday Cheer

Funny Christmas photos of cats are too good to pass up when you need a little pick-me-up. These kitties really know how to celebrate, from knocked-down Christmas trees to decking the halls with musical meows, they're sure to garland you with giggles. And, of course, we can't leave out those oh-so-grumpy kitties who would be purrr-fect in teeny Grinch costumes — but we don't suggest you try to get these cats to go along. 

Don't you dare take the box away — or else.

I swear! The tree attacked first!

Don't mind me. I'm just trying on the presents.

Stockings were hung, and then... I knocked them down.

This feline friends is here to spread some 'paws'-itive holiday vibes!

I think this is game. Set. Match.

All I want for Christmas is catnip, catnip, and even more catnip!

Don't ask how this kitty got up there, but this cutie is clearly the prettiest ornament! 

Trying to fit in, one Christmas box at a time.

Who needs Christmas cookies when ornaments are just as crunchy?

Who got into the lights? What lights? I'm just laying here minding my own business.

Festive mood activated: Tinsel attack in 3, 2, 1...

Deck the halls with... Wait, was that ornament just for display?

This kitty's face screams 'bah hum-paw' amid the festive chaos, but don't be fooled. He just wants to be your one and only for the holiday.

Santa doesn't need them all, does he? This kitty is about to sneak some Christmas cookies!

This reindeer is ready to fall asleep and await Santa's arrival with all the treats. 

Wrapped myself up because I heard I'm the best gift around!

Waiting under the mistletoe for the fishy treats to drop!

I really, really, really hope Santa brings everything on my wish list! What will I get? When will I get it? When is Santa coming?!

Guys! I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claws!

Have you noticed how cats think Christmas is just a big party thrown for them? Sure, they have to put up with a lot (like this guy) but ooooh the fun that can also be had. Ornaments to toss, wrapping paper to dive into, and boxes... oh, the boxes! It's like cat heaven.
