Every home has that one family member who believes decorating the Christmas tree is their personal calling. And in this household, it happens to be an Orange Cat who has decided he is the official tree fluffer for the season. In the video below, he sits beside the tree with the kind of focus usually reserved for professionals. He lifts his paw, gives one branch a firm bop, studies the result, then bops it again, like he’s making critical adjustments. He then starts to technically beat up the tree to make sure it looks perfect. This is not chaos. This is craftsmanship.

Of course, anyone who has lived with an Orange Cat knows this behavior is not surprising. Orange Cats approach every holiday decoration like an interactive playground specifically installed for their entertainment. Trees are for climbing. Ornaments are for batting. Trust me, I know. I have two orange boys trying to ruin the holiday right now! In the cutest way possible, of course.

@hayleyhmarie shared the cute clip on TikTok, and people are cracking up in the comments. “It’s actually a well-known fact that cats switch from biscuit making to festive fluffing at this time of year,” one person said. “Santa’s little helper,” someone else added. “I’d be terrified he’s gonna bring it down,” someone else warned.

That is why many cat parents end up reinforcing or anchoring their trees. Kitties, especially energetic ones, can knock them over with a single leap or a very determined swat. Securing the base, placing breakable ornaments higher up, and keeping cords out of reach can help avoid disasters. Some people even use fishing line to anchor the top of the tree to the wall for extra stability. Because when an Orange Cat decides the tree needs fluffing, he is going to handle his business with or without your permission.

Still, there is something incredibly endearing about a kitty who is this invested in the holiday setup. Watching him tap each branch as if he’s fine-tuning the tree is pure comedy and pure charm. He clearly believes he is helping, and in his own chaotic way, he kind of is. Every household should have a Christmas tree fluffer this dedicated.
