My human heard about a TikTok hack that suggested attacking your cat with the Christmas tree so that he wouldn’t bother it. She thought traumatizing a cat like that was a bad idea, so she set out to make a short video with me about it. But everything was wrong.
The information was too long for a short. She kept messing up her words. I kept walking off the set. It turned out that the outtakes were better than the video footage she meant to use. So we put together a blooper reel instead.
If this hack is still a thing next year, maybe we will do a proper video. But for now, here are the bad takes. I hope you enjoy them!

Bwa! Haa!! Haaa!!! Once again you have thwarted the human’s need for control! YOU are our hero! (PS we are still trying to get Mom out and about. Sorry we have not been commenting).
Scaring a car for any reason is wrong. You are precious with the tree. Merry Christmas Summer❤❤
Cat not car
That idea (attacking with the Christmas tree) is right up there
with scaring a cat with a cucumber. Must have been thought up
by the same dim bulb. Maybe their mother /father beat them with
a Christmas tree when they were a baby and they just don’t know
any better.
That is a nasty hack! What are people thinking? I really dislike TikTok because most things are contrived and many verge on ill treatment, Your video is cute though.
Attacking a cat with a tree is animal abuse. Makes me and Mum angry. If we were on TikShittyTok we would report it. Mum did make an account there once but she hated the whole vibe there so soon deleted it.
Your video is cute, Summer!
Merry Christmas to you and your human xx
Merry Christmas to you & fameowly

What a shitty hack but a great video! When I was younger, to keep me from attacking her, TW would put a stuffie between us. I’d attack the stuffie and push it out of the way. I never bother the tree though.
We are glad your human knows better than to attack you with the tree, Summer. Your blooper video was so much fun. Merry Christmas to you and your human!
That’s a crazy hack, but you sure got a fun video out of it!
We agree – attacking the catwith the tree is a really dumb idea !
Here we solved our problem years ago – our human doesn’t put up a tree.
Summer Meowy Christmas to you and your devoted human
Hugs Cecilia
Your bad takes look like the best takes Claire would be able to do, MOL ! Purrs
Cute video. I hope a lot of folks don’t start following the tik tok video about attacking their cats with the tree. My cats are so good about the tree every year, even the ferals this year are not interested.
MOL we love dis!! I love on our Christmas tree morning, noon and night and attacking me wif it would just make me love on it even more cause then I would fink it was a play toy. We are glad you were trying to put out a PSA not to attack you furry loved one wif da tree.

Matilda (& Matt)
You’re cute with your own tree regardless! Enjoy the rest of the holidays.
That Tic place sure has lots of dumb ideas going on but you’re such a cutie sweet Summer!
I agree! Attacking a cat with a tree to make them leave it alone is stupid!
I giggled at your video. I don’t think your person has to worry about you bothering the tree 😉
Mum and I wish you and your person a Merry Christmas!
Purrs, Julie
Oh, Summer, you never fail to entertain us, gorgeous girl; it’s so cool you got your own tree, sweetie!…We think next year, your Mom should wrap a gift with nip inside=it could be used as motivation for you to pose for a few good photos, it would keep your interest away from the tree (somewhat!) and you would have a fun gift to unwrap when your photo shoot was over!…Wishing you all a very joyous and fun Christmas…XO…J, Sukki, Rio
Oh Dear! Well, you tried. Poor Summer just wasn’t having it. We always love blooper reels. Dad says he could sit for hours and hours watching tv show and movie bloopers. Merriest of Christmas to you both!!
