There is a big, fluffy white Persian cat named Mabel hiding inside a white Christmas tree, and I need everyone to understand that she looks like she was born for this moment. With her stunning blue eyes peeking through layers of shimmering tinsel, Mabel doesn’t just blend in; she elevates the entire situation. This isn’t a cat stuck in a tree. This is a cat who clearly saw the decor and said, yes, this is my aesthetic.
Surrounded by sparkling strands and glowing lights, Mabel looks less like a household pet and more like the main attraction at a holiday disco. Her doll-faced features and cloud-like fur catch the light perfectly, making it seem like the tree was decorated around her rather than the other way around. She’s calm, unbothered, and fully in her element, proof that some kitties aren’t hiding at all; they’re simply claiming their rightful spotlight. She’s an absolute Christmas queen!
The sweet caption shared on the TikTok account @mabelthemarshmallow reads: “She doesn’t know that she makes every day feel like Christmas to me.”
Another caption reads: “She is always supervised with her tinsel.” Here’s the thing with cats and tinsel: Yes, your fur baby should never eat tinsel because it can cause a lot of digestive distress, but I truly believe most pet parents do supervise their cats and dogs because most pet parents really love their cats and dogs and don’t want a $2,000 vet bill!

The Fulton County Vet Clinic explains, “When tinsel is swallowed, it can become lodged in the stomach or intestines, causing an obstruction. This blockage prevents food and other materials from passing through the digestive tract, leading to severe discomfort, vomiting, and dehydration in your cat. In some cases, the tinsel can also perforate the intestines, leading to a potentially fatal condition known as peritonitis.” So, yeah, supervise your kitty around tinsel and ribbons!
One person in the comments said, “Oh, how majestic is she in her tree.” Someone else added, “What a gorgeous girl!” Another person said, “It looks like she was meant to be there! A beautiful cat in a beautiful tree!”
Mabel isn’t hiding at all; she’s simply reminding us that sometimes the best holiday decorations already have fur and opinions.
