Humans love Christmas for many, many reasons, but we believe cat people get to love the holiday just a little<\/em> bit more than the rest! Why is this so? Well, every regular Christmas activity for a cat parent gets a sprig of extra kitty cat flare, turning everything that was originally just Christmas<\/em> into Catmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here are just some of the reasons why being a cat parent during Catmas rocks!<\/p>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

1) It’s funny and adorable to watch cats get just as serious about presents as humans.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\""BOX!!!!!!!"

“BOX!!!!!!!”
@luna_the_rescue (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

2) Cat parents don’t just admire their peaceful tree. Rather, they watch their kitties defy all fears of heights.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“A REAL cat tree!”
@wscottkardel (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

3) And tear it all down…<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“It was defs the dog!”
@duchess_of_westchester (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“Well. Maybe I did do it. So what!?”
@geekypoo (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

4) Sipping hot cocoa is okay, but it’s made approximately 100 times better when a cat’s curled up next to you.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\""I

“I luff mew”
@syydneyypaul (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

5) Wrapping presents is a cinch when you have a helping paw around.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“Can’t wait for the human to roll this out so I can sits on it!”
@the3muskitters (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“All set!”
@tigre_the_terrible (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

6) Cat people get to play the supurr special role of Santa Claws by smacking a bow on the December KitNipBox <\/a> and stashing it away for Catmas morning.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\""Posin'

“Posin’ wif my gifts”<\/p><\/div>\n

\""No

“No more pics. I’ve been a good kitty…”
Onion (via Katie B.)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

7) It’s really cute to watch your cat strutting around in a chunky Catmas sweater. Not all cats are into them (neither are all people), so we wouldn’t force kitties into it, but some cats totally own the look like it’s 1979.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“Pass da purrgg nogg to me!”
@willowthesquishycat (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/b><\/p>\n

8) If you’re a cat person, you already have the best Catmas gift ever: a best fur friend forever.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Catmas

“Oh, human! I love celebrating Catmas with mew!!”
@hopeyoung (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Catmas

“Let’s never move”
@nanasbasement (Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n
