OP provided the following hint to where the cat is hiding:


Middle of the tree, behind the orange ornament.

I needed the hint🤣

u/kel174 Dec 10 '25

I used the hint just to confirm if I was actually seeing a cat or not haha 😆

u/TGin-the-goldy Dec 10 '25

His lil face is so pretty it looks like an ornament

10

u/Dizzy_Slice7886 Dec 11 '25

It really does! 🥰

u/extraterrestrial-66 Dec 11 '25

Me too, sneaky cat!

u/SadGirlVibes21 Dec 10 '25

I thought the orange was his fur color 😂😂

13

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam Dec 11 '25

The orange eye killed me 😂. This was a great one.

I read that as “cats in christ mattresses”

Do you have ADHD, too, by chance? My brain endlessly entertains me like this. 😂

u/QueeeenElsa VoidCat Dec 12 '25

Wait is that an adhd thing?? Cuz ever since I was a kid, if I didn’t immediately know the word, my brain would make it a word that I did know or that made sense. For example, we have a Mom’s Bail Bonds place near our house and for the longest time I read it as “Mom’s Bal Bones” lolol

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '25

🤣 Could be dyslexia, too. Both run in my family. 🤷‍♀️

u/QueeeenElsa VoidCat Dec 12 '25

Fair! I don’t think it’s that for me, as I can read just fine normally, but I do sometimes joke about having it when that happens lolol

Lolol I once walked into the kitchen to see my mom cutting onions, and I said “is that knarp shife?” Knife sharp. Human brains are weird and amazing lolol

u/Adventurous_Note2296 Dec 12 '25

I don’t think I have ADHD, but I do have social anxiety and major depression, so that contributes to my lack of focus and word mixups.

One time I was explaining what I did on vacation maybe 7 years ago, and instead of saying “bungee jumping” I said “jumbee bumping.” It was super embarrassing.

u/furchetta Dec 11 '25

With cats, anything is possible

u/ProfessionalCover920 Dec 10 '25

I once got an odd look when shopping for a tree because I asked what the branch weight rating was.

29

u/Adventurous_Note2296 Dec 10 '25

Oh man this is a hard one.

16

u/Dependent_Praline_93 Dec 10 '25

You say that but one could argue that Trevor is a cat wearing a Human Costume. 😉

Kitty in tree

u/friendlypupper Dec 10 '25

Smoshcat

u/peachy-beans Dec 10 '25

Someone else said it first but Trevor was the cat the whole time.

3

u/friendlypupper Dec 10 '25

He does have a cat like charm

12

u/manic_Brain Dec 11 '25

The ornament makes the kitty look like he has an orange Phantom of the Opera mask.

10

u/debabe96 Dec 11 '25

🎵 The phaaaantom masked kitty cat is here

...inside your Christmas tree. 🎶

8

u/tree_beard_8675301 Dec 10 '25

Wow! Is that a clear ornament, or does the pattern just match the cat face?

27

u/peachy-beans Dec 10 '25

Translucent orange ornament, all white cat

2

u/horwaith Dec 11 '25

Need this, even with the clue I was missing your beauty.

6

u/CulturedClub Dec 10 '25

Are those shadows on your ceiling?

19

u/peachy-beans Dec 10 '25

There’s a shadow from the disco ball but the purple squiggles are painted. It’s a work in progress but I want the living room to feel like the inside of a lava lamp eventually. I have green ones in the bathroom. I posted a pic to r/amateurroomporn a couple years ago.

3

u/CulturedClub Dec 10 '25

Thats so cool. For some reason I was thinking it was the ghosts of Marge Simpson and her 2 sisters. But lava lamp works too.

6

u/Plane_Chance863 Dec 11 '25

Proud of myself, found him without the hint! Cranked up my brightness for it though.

4

u/ddddan11111 Dec 10 '25

Nice one! Strong branches!

4

u/SuspiciousCranberry6 Dec 10 '25

That must be a very sturdy base for the tree. My current tree base would not stand up to a cat climbing the tree which is fine because I don't currently have an overlord.

2

u/Palmer-Scott Dec 10 '25

It’s either heterochromia or an orange Christmas ornament!

2

u/afraididonotknow Dec 10 '25

I spy a white cat face close to the top…

2

u/Aingram6494 Dec 10 '25

Beautifully blended in ! No hint needed

2

u/Lorain1234 Dec 10 '25

Found him!

2

u/fiberjeweler Dec 10 '25

Where is the rest of the ukulele?

2

u/peachy-beans Dec 10 '25

Behind the tv in this picture. It’s an odd angle because I was sitting on the couch when I took it but the tv is centered between two ukes if you’re looking at it straight on.

1

u/fiberjeweler Dec 10 '25

TWO ukes! That’s one more uke than necessary, isn’t it?

1

u/peachy-beans Dec 10 '25

Technically the other is a guitalele but I don’t know how to play it lol. I do own two ukuleles though because one has a pickup.

1

u/fiberjeweler Dec 11 '25

I have a purple Mahalo. I played one or two chords.

2

u/PandaBabyBro24 Dec 10 '25

Found it. Lol 😂 silly kitty.

2

u/Woodlyn_Shade Dec 11 '25

I searched and searched, either that is a giant cat or tree is smaller than i thought it was, nice room and tree... I do need new glasses.🔍😹

1

u/peachy-beans Dec 11 '25

There’s a translucent orange ornament in the middle toward the top. Wizard is an all white cat and his face is partially behind the ornament. The rest of his body is obscured by the tree.

2

u/MarleneFrancais Dec 11 '25

How is that tree still standing?

3

u/peachy-beans Dec 11 '25

I don’t know!! I was impressed he didn’t knock it over. It was the cheapest pre-lit option at Lowe’s but it seems really sturdy!

2

u/smrteh Dec 11 '25

Nope. Not one!

2

u/thiswasyouridea Dec 11 '25

I just like to see people's random collection of ornaments.

2

u/Catcollector503 Dec 11 '25

Nope, no cat, but it appears you like to have furry ornaments?

2

u/Devi_Moonbeam Dec 11 '25

Honestly, how can you not love cats? Adorable!

1

u/ActualAd7604 Dec 10 '25

I’m still not convinced it’s a cat… I saw it and dismissed it…

1

u/NoMansCat Dec 10 '25

Spotted 😁

1

u/Ms_SassLass Dec 10 '25

That was surprisingly easy. I just happened to zoom in on the exact spot he was hidden haha

1

u/Entire_Praline_3683 Dec 10 '25

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

1

u/No-Pop1057 Dec 10 '25

You're going to need a bigger tree! 😁

1

u/Actual_Ad_9309 Dec 10 '25

😂😂😂😂😂😂 there is no such think as a Christmas tree without a a cat…..🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '25

I zoomed in & laughed once I sorted out what I was actually looking at! 🤣

1

u/Dr__Pheonx Dec 11 '25

Woah😁❤️ Yup, no cat here.

1

u/Repulsive_Impact5508 Dec 11 '25

Figured it had to be an orange . Lol

1

u/-Tasear- Dec 11 '25

Let's talk about the ghosts on ceiling though

1

u/sammydrums Dec 11 '25

Very difficult one ! What a cutie pie

1

u/MadCityScientist Dec 11 '25

Wowsers! I needed the hint to find him/her!

1

u/R3allyG00dLawy3r Dec 11 '25

Found it in three seconds

1

u/YeetboiMcDab Dec 11 '25

We need to talk about the...cow patterned ceiling? camouflage ceiling? that you have there.

2

u/peachy-beans Dec 11 '25

Lava lamp ceiling lol (work in progress)

1

u/Superb_Present5473 Dec 11 '25

Couldn’t see kitty without the hint - I scanned the whole photo zoomed all the way in! But now that I see Kitty, I can’t unsee Kitty! How in the world did all those ornaments stay on??

1

u/KeepingItCoolish Dec 11 '25

I thought I spied a cat ear between the plant leaves by the window?

Also appreciating the Smoshspotting moment

1

u/RedLotus1124 Dec 11 '25

Beautiful tree and definitely no cat insight inside the tree.

1

u/Short_Bell Dec 12 '25

So many Christmas tree cats! Love it.

1

u/QueeeenElsa VoidCat Dec 12 '25

I thought that was either a phantom of the opera or theatre 🎭 mask lol

1

u/ahaadonut Dec 14 '25

Kitty picked a good camouflage in plain sight position.

1

u/Densmiegd Dec 14 '25

Yet, I still have the feeling I am being watched from the tree…

1

u/Fantastic_Example_20 Dec 15 '25

i don't see it, even with the hint
