Holiday felines: fun Christmas data about cats
Itās the season to be ā¦ curious! While dogs can eagerly tear Christmas gifts and use Christmas sweaters with enthusiasm, cats have their own special relationship with the Christmas season.
Here is a delicious collection of Christmas -related cats that will make you see your feline friend with a completely new festive light.
The challenge of the Christmas tree
Each cat owner knows the eternal struggle: keep the curious cats away from the Christmas tree. But did you know that this behavior has deep roots in your catās natural instincts? The vertical structure reminds them of natural climbing opportunities in nature, while hanging ornaments trigger their hunting instincts. Some cats are attracted to the aroma of the tree pine, which contains chemicals similar to those found in the trigger grass!
Tensel: A historical danger
Speaking of Christmas decorations, Tensel was originally made of real silver in the seventeenth century. Although beautiful, he fogged easily. Todayās tinsel of today raises its own risks to cats, so many veterinarians recommend that pet owners skip this decoration completely. Cats are attracted to their brilliant nature and similar to a rope, a setback to their instinct to pursue prey.
The legend of the āMā
According to a lovely Christmas legend, a tied cat snorted to Jesus to sleep in the manger on the first Christmas night. As a reward, Mary marked the catās forehead with an āM.ā While this is folklore, the distinctive brand āMā on the forehead of atheight cats is actually caused by its unique genetic pattern, but it is a wonderful Christmas story!
Gift assistants
Did you ever notice how cats seem magnetically attracted to gift wrapping sessions? There is a scientific explanation: the wrinkled paper triggers its impulse of dam, since it mimics the sound of small animals that move through leaves or grass. In addition, the empty boxes and the loose tape provide an irresistible playground, although closely watch the tape around the pets!
Mass Traditions of Cats from Nordic countries
In Nordic mythology, the car of the goddess Freya was thrown by two giant cats. This led to a tradition in some Nordic countries where farmers would put aside a bowl of milk for cats on Christmas eve to guarantee good luck and an abundant harvest. Today, some still continue this tradition, although veterinarians remind us that most adult cats are actually lactose intolerant.
Icelandās Christmas cat
Iceland has a particularly interesting Christmas cat tradition: JĆ³lakƶtturinn, or Yule Cat. According to folklore, this huge black cat merodes the snowy field on Christmas eve. However, unlike our cozy cats of the house, this mythical feline does not seek sweets or toys: tradition says that it would eat anyone who did not receive new clothes for Christmas! This story was used to encourage workers to finish processing wool before the holiday season.
Modern cat Christmas celebrations
Todayās cats are often included in Christmas celebrations, with parents of pets that buy special advent calendars full of sweets, toys full of gas grass with the form of Christmas symbols and even small holy hats (although most of the cats prefer to go). Some shelters even organize special adoption events of āHome for The Holidaysā, helping cats to find their homes forever during the festive season.
Remember, although these Christmas traditions and events are fun, always prioritize your catās safety during the festive season. Keep toxic holiday plants such as kitchen pieces out of reach, ensure the Christmas tree and make sure your cat has a quiet retreat outside the holiday chaos when necessary.
After all, what is Christmas without our hairy friends, which makes it a little more interesting, and much more cozy?

For happy cats and a happy holiday season: think like a cat
Regardless of the holidays you can celebrate, to be a little more cheerful simply for having your feline friends.
This was our Snail Mail card this year that was not sent by mail on time. I canāt blame Odin and Otto. I obtained a fabulous holy coat with a hood that neither of the two cats refused to approach. Oh, well, cāest la vie with cats and would not have it otherwise.
XO,
Layla, Odin, Otto and The Angel Cats
