Cat's Epic Destruction of the Family Christmas Tree Is Going Viral

This is why we can't have nice things.

Every year, cat owners know it'll happen; yet every year, those cat owners put up their Christmas tree the very same way. See where this is going yet? Tabby cat parent @yoilseari knew what was going to happen when two of their kitties got close to the tree, but the result is still too good to miss. 

With over 40 million views and counting, these curious kitties are causing smiles left and right. And don't worry--everyone is A-OK!

OMG! Christmastime seems chaotic AF with multiple cats around. If we're being completely honest, we're pleasantly surprised the tree lasted as long as it did! Then again, this seasoned cat parent knew exactly when the tree would come tumbling down.

"Honestly people with cats need compensation every year LMAO," said commenter @heloves.jenny. We think they would agree! Luckily for this cat owner, though, it doesn't seem like anything broke in the fall. Still, it would be nice if this didn't happen again!

Viewer @brisaguillenn shared, "I used to chase my cat around my house with the tree before I set it up and now he doesn’t go near it lol." Well, that's one way to do it! As long as it works and no one is traumatized, it sounds like a decent plan to us. 

Even though this 'timber' couldn't have been prevented, we're glad to see that the cat who caused it isn't hurt. Just for safe measure, though, one of the commenters needed proof of the feline's wellbeing!

It's crazy how one cute animal can cause such chaos, but it does make for an excellent viral video. We think this baby is forgiven for the whole tree fiasco!
