It turns out that Christmas trees are nothing but giant cat toys – 15 Yule mogs

So …you went to all that trouble to arrange the lights perfectly, to set a festive colour scheme and add just the right amount of baubles and beads to make the Christmas tree look beautiful, only for it to become the bed and plaything of cats. If they’re not climbing through the branches, risking dragging the whole thing over, they’re chewing stuff they shouldn’t be chewing and batting your grandma’s glass icicle like it’s a feathery ball on a stick.

These moments have been captured and shared on Twitter.

Every year we put the Christmas tree up for about 5 minutes. Then we take it down again. pic.twitter.com/9AaO99Gktv
