Cats can be evil (don’t argue, [here’s proof](http://time.com/4033259/cats-evil-video-proof/ "undefined")) every day of the year. But Christmas, with all its glittery, sparkly, shiny accouterments, seems to bring out the worst in the fuzzy little monsters. There’s not a Christmas ornament they won’t bat until it smashes, a light they won’t chew on, a Christmas tree they won’t climb (and eventually topple). It’s like they are determined to be on Santa’s naughty list. In a new video, a resigned cat owner has realized that when it comes to cats at Christmas, since you can’t stop their reign of seasonal terror, you may as well make a story about it, record it, and put it out on the internet for all to enjoy. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4145663/check-out-these-cats-destroying-christmas/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4145663/check-out-these-cats-destroying-christmas/"},"headline":"Check Out These Cats Destroying Christmas","datePublished":"2015-12-11T20:21:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:37.816Z","description":"Merry Cat-mas!","url":"https://time.com/4145663/check-out-these-cats-destroying-christmas/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","cats","christmas","Holidays","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4145663/check-out-these-cats-destroying-christmas/","name":"Check Out These Cats Destroying Christmas"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Inside New York's First Cat Cafe","description":"Meet the cats of NYC's first cat cafe, Meow Parlour, and hear more about the growing trend of paying to play with cats from the cafe's two owners.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0MiiFeak/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-12T19:30:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0MiiFeak.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4145663/check-out-these-cats-destroying-christmas/","duration":"PT1M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4145663/check-out-these-cats-destroying-christmas/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
