Merry Christmas! Here are the 8 cutest Christmas cat pictures in existence

#1 Cat vs Tree

In the never-ending battle between cats and Christmas trees, it looks like the trees won this round. But the kitty will be back for more. After all, he's still got eight lives left!

#2 A time to remember

Christmas is a time for friends and family, but it's also an opportunity to remember the loved ones who are no longer with us. This will be the first Xmas since the sad passing of the iconic Grumpy Cat, so let's give him a festive shout out! Gone, but never forgotten!

#3 Is it that time of the year already?

Despite weeks of planning ahead, Xmas always comes and goes quicker than we expected. But just look at the surprise on this kitty's face! Is it all over already? Surely not!

#4 A gift that lasts a lifetime

They'll be plenty of people wishing for a kitty this year. But remember, a cat is for life, and never just for Xmas.

#5 You're not the real Santa!

Did old Father Christmas forget to stop by this kitty's house last December? Or can this cat sniff out a fake when she meets one? Either way, we don't think she'll be visiting Santa's grotto next year. #EMBARRASSEDCATMUM

#6 It's Christmas!

Xmas day is finally here! Did you get everything you wished for? This happy looking cat certainly did!

#7 A Christmas miracle

Plenty of kittens will spend this Christmas in a shelter. But not Tangee. The elderly tabby cat spent months in a rescue shelter before he finally found his perfect forever family this December. Now that's what we call a Christmas miracle!

#8 A season for sharing?

This cat got everything he asked for this Xmas, and he's not sharing his presents with anyone!
