It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and plenty of pet parents love dressing up their cats and dogs in festive gear to celebrate the holiday season. Pawsitively Chaotic often shares the hilarious antics of their Golden Retriever and tabby cat, and one of their recent videos went viral thanks to the cat’s priceless reaction.
The clip opens with the Golden Retriever dressed as one of Santa’s reindeer, happily pulling a tiny sleigh with the tabby riding inside. The pup looks thrilled and totally in the holiday spirit. The cat, however, also decked out in Christmas attire, seems significantly less impressed by the whole situation!
Pawsitively Chaotic cracked us up in the video’s caption, “Our dog is so proud. But our cat is literally arguing with the management.” The Golden was acting just like a Golden, and the cat was acting just like a cat!

Reactions to the Golden Retriever Reindeer and Angry Cat
Commenters enjoyed watching the short clip, especially the cat’s reaction. @Toby T shared, “Dog: This is fun! Cat: Get me outta here.” @FireFreq joked, “That cat is giving big boss energy.”
@Callie20221 said, “Santa Claws! This is so CUTE!” @Its so Not Yummy suggested, “Next time the dog is the Grinch’s dog with the one antler and the cat is the Grinch!” We love this suggestion!
We watched the video a couple of times and didn’t realize it was AI-generated; we wanted it to be real because it was such a cute, believable scene! @LH felt the same way: “Can someone please confirm that this is not AI because I so desperately want it to be real.”
@Moonwillow11 replied, “Considering the bio says ‘digital’ cat and dog chaos, then I’d say yes, but have a scroll through the other videos, they’re hilarious!” @LH cracked us up when they replied, “Why can’t we have nice things?” We feel the same way!
Everybody agreed with @kelsie bergstrom when she said, ‘It makes me so mad that I can’t even enjoy stuff because of AI! I want sweet, genuine, REAL moments.” We couldn’t agree more!
