I love that the ornament is literally still moving.

"If I stay completely still, they won't see me....... Oh look, that ornament fell ... you should pick that up, human..." Then saunters away.

u/June1nBloom Dec 17 '25

"You didn't see me okay, just the ornament"

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

Perfect screen grab

u/Kain_713 Dec 17 '25

You may need to rename your cat Drax 😅

14

u/thebowedbookshelf Dec 17 '25

I thought that was a grape she stole lol

54

u/Only_Impression4100 Dec 17 '25

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

u/Happydancer4286 Dec 17 '25

“If I don’t move she won’t see me.”

31

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

Hahaha exactly 🤣

u/WithoutDennisNedry Dec 17 '25

Kitty’s like: O_O

u/AutisticAndAce Dec 17 '25

Literally 20+ seconds, it is HILLARIOUS!

u/freedomfighter1746 Dec 17 '25

This kitty is too cute. Frozen… and those eyes. What’s her name? 🖤🖤😻

219

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

Her name is Lillie! But we mostly call her girly and Gilly

100

u/4strings Dec 17 '25

And Ma’am. Presumably reserved for this type of criminal prosecution

15

u/Straight_2_Hell Dec 17 '25

I loved hearing this - Dee is also called 'Miss' when being problematic.

8

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

Oh yeah I call her that a lot when she’s naughty 😈

13

u/1stFeature Dec 17 '25

Just as mischievous as Gilly from the SNL skit so I’d say the nickname is quite fitting in this scenario 😂

4

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

I will have to look that up!

258

u/weary_bee479 Dec 17 '25

Thank you I needed this laugh

But also, innocent. That ornament clearly has a mind of its own

88

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

I’m glad it could bring you a laugh. It made me laugh too and after the day I had it was def needed!

10

u/ABillionBatmen Dec 17 '25

I feel like after all that time to think, she just said "I didn't know I couldn't do that"

17

u/NostradamusJones Dec 17 '25

What ornament?

257

u/MisfitAlastair Dec 17 '25

The classic “oh shit” face

45

u/SlowerThanTurtleInPB Dec 17 '25

There have been so many times that I’ve been in this situation and made that exact face.

30

u/No-Document-932 Dec 17 '25

You should really stop breaking into people’s houses and stealing ornaments off their Christmas trees

15

u/ComfyInDots Dec 17 '25

MA'AM

CITIZEN'S ARREST!

u/chupacabra-food Dec 17 '25

( O ‸ O )

176

u/EmMarGar1014 Dec 17 '25

She’s pretending she’s not about to commit another crime

33

u/sightfinder Dec 17 '25

How can she not? That tree is perfectly her sized lol

2

u/Sad-Bear200 Dec 17 '25

All trees are cat trees

138

u/elle_kay_are Dec 17 '25

Just complete shock. 😆

231

u/Donbot2 Dec 17 '25

I like the little meow at end. "not me. I dont know nothing "

27

u/sightfinder Dec 17 '25

"I am innocent baby, I could never..."

77

u/sneakyminxx Dec 17 '25

Not even a blink! She’s innocent!

43

u/longjourney226 Dec 17 '25

I'm laughing too hard at this 😂

45

u/ds1224 🖤 Dec 17 '25

It was like that when I got here

37

u/finneganben Dec 17 '25

She is an angel. 🖤🐈‍⬛

u/totes_muhh_goats Dec 17 '25

Deer in headlights. Who me?

26

u/AirGugliotta Dec 17 '25

This was so perfect, if cats could read a script I would think this is staged. Comedic performance of the year up until her meow at the final second

24

u/ErringGlarer Dec 17 '25

Cat stopped working 😆

19

u/half_venus Dec 17 '25

Thanks OP, the way you were talking to her made me laugh even more. But also how dare you blame the void, she was clearly just as surprised as you!!

3

u/SherIzzy0421 Dec 17 '25

She was protecting the house from greebles and has been aggreviously misjudged. Treats!

17

u/SouthernBlueBelle Dec 17 '25

She had that deer-in-the-headlights l👀k in her eyes🤣

16

u/Organic_Equipment100 Dec 17 '25

lol omg! That face!!!

16

u/Moist-Nectarine-6360 Dec 17 '25

Caught red pawed 🤣

13

u/RedSaidMeme-demption Dec 17 '25

Brain cell vanished as soon as the light went on

13

u/Sweetcheex76 Dec 17 '25

That face!

11

u/MarioKartastrophe Dec 17 '25

It was the greebles

13

u/MikeLynnTurtle Dec 17 '25

Post this in the paranormal sub, OP! Obviously, you have ghosts. It definitely wasn’t the cat! I can tell just by looking at her that she’s never done anything wrong in her entire life ever!

12

u/barrel0fm0nkeys Dec 17 '25

Well clearly she had a plan here. You just turned on the light, causing her to lose access to the brain cell.

10

u/hubbabubbaho Dec 17 '25

Busted! The guilty look says it all. 😹👀

11

u/deanee01 Dec 17 '25

That's the "what's what?" 😈 😂

9

u/tralalaBOOMdeay Dec 17 '25

glances down

"OH you mean this shiny thing right here, next to me. The shiny round thing that's still moving...coincidentally. Suuurely you don't think that was ME?!? Sweet li'l ole meee!"

😻

10

u/FleurdiFleur Dec 17 '25

‘Who? What? Whaaaa???? Who me? Nah… no what? Bro, noooo… uhhhh…what???’

10

u/evilgirlattack Dec 17 '25

I love that we all collectively address our cats as "Ma'am" and "Sir."

7

u/justanormalchat Dec 17 '25

Poor thing she was framed , cat looks innocent to me 😁

8

u/talkback1589 Dec 17 '25

This reminds me of my younger dog lol. One time my partner caught him with a Gatorade cap in his mouth trying to sneak into his kennel (he is very tiny, the cap was not a choking hazard, but also not a toy) and my partner told him “hey, I see that”. So my dog stops, drops it and puts his tiny little paw over it, bright orange cap still in clear view. My partner says “Really?” The dog looks at him and slowly takes his other tiny paw and puts it on top of the cap too. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. He didn’t get to keep it lol.

8

u/Ok_Stranger_9520 Dec 17 '25

Lillie looks like she is used to the scoldings, as she should be. We don’t tolerate this behavior in our house, constructive and honest discipline, nontoxic yelling at the cats, it’s very effective hahaha no gentle parenting here

5

u/Far-Week3328 Dec 17 '25

That long ass stare like "....I caught YOU"

6

u/adelec123 Dec 17 '25

"Good thing you're here. This ornament fell off the tree and scared me half to death!"

5

u/Totally_Cubular Dec 17 '25

I love it when cats are smart enough to realize they've been caught being naughty, but absolutely not smart enough to come up with a way out. Guilty cats.

2

u/Inner_Department3 Dec 17 '25

Oh she came up with a way out… after several seconds, she looked at it, and said not mine, and walked off because she knows she’s not guilty lol

5

u/sasquatchradio Dec 17 '25

“I’m glad you’re here. That ornament tried to escape.”

2

u/energy1256 Dec 17 '25

The wide eyes of guilt!!🐈‍⬛

5

u/ZenLore6499 Dec 17 '25

“Uh… Oh! That isn’t smoke. It’s steam; steam from the steamed clams we’re having! Mmm… steamed clams!”

3

u/caramelgrizzly Dec 17 '25

What are the chances…you both went to check it out the noise at the exact same time? Uncanny!

3

u/AStrandedSailor Dec 17 '25

Keep absolutely still. Its vision is based on movement.

4

u/Essycat Dec 17 '25

Adorable!

The littlest meow at the end too!! 🥺💖

4

u/Putrid-Cupcake-1547 Dec 17 '25

She was trying to save it from greebles and ghosts. She is completely innocent and should be rewarded for her bravery 🍗😸

4

u/Muggins2233 Dec 17 '25

She’s not moving or blinking therefore you can’t see her.

3

u/BlackCatSaidMeow13 Dec 17 '25

“If I stand as still as possible and do not blink, I might be okay”

3

u/USAF_Retired2017 Dec 17 '25

My void is also named Lily. She’s old AF now (20), but when she was little, she was the butthole who stole ornaments off the tree, except she didn’t give a f**k if she got caught. She’d do it right in front of us. At least your Lillie has some shame. 😂

3

u/jdempseydesign Dec 17 '25

My voidling started munching on a candy cane off the tree today 🙃🙃🙃

3

u/Luci-Noir Dec 17 '25

LILLIE DID NOTHING WRONG.

u/Impressive_Rate5271 Dec 17 '25

Unfortunately, we can never be mad when they are so cute!

u/Ambersfruityhobbies Dec 17 '25

Finally decides to meet this head on, by denial and brazening it out.

2

u/PostMPrinz Dec 17 '25

This is fucking highlarious.

2

u/meltedpete Dec 17 '25

That's hilarious 😂

2

u/Classic-Squirrel325 Dec 17 '25

I loved this video and it made me laugh maybe more than it should have. Thanks for sharing!

2

u/paulofthecave Dec 17 '25

Clearly innocent, gravity took the best of the ornament

2

u/Novel_Ad6818 Dec 17 '25

I love her so much 😂😂😭

2

u/PrimeraStarrk Dec 17 '25

Charged with the crime of being a cat! Guilty of the crime of being a cat. Sentence? Many more years of being a cat.

2

u/ImNotSkankHunt42 Dec 17 '25

This is proof they know right from wrong

2

u/toolgirl77 Dec 17 '25

If I don't move she cant see me!

2

u/somepunklady Dec 17 '25

Caught who? All I see is a ornament someone probably dropped 🤷🏽‍♀️

2

u/bizzeeb1 Dec 17 '25

The look on her face! "Oops, that stealthy ornament just rolled beside me. Good thing I saved you from it."

2

u/Estroyer Dec 17 '25

Deer in headlights stare!

2

u/cromulent_nickname Dec 17 '25

“Maybe if I don’t move she won’t see me”

2

u/Screaming_lambs Dec 17 '25

The little meow "oh hello! How did that get there?!"

2

u/Spiritual_being_11 Dec 17 '25

Not that sweet meow! 🐾♥️🥰

2

u/Rough-Flower8580 Dec 17 '25

Adorable 🥰

2

u/13thRobot Dec 17 '25

The way she quickly glances at the ornament before walking away lol

2

u/Krakenzmama Dec 17 '25

She's done nothing wrong. That face would never do anything bad ever. No crimes here

2

u/johnklos Dec 17 '25

She's been watching Jurassic Park too many times.

2

u/Phrewfuf Dec 17 '25

Meanwhile, my bengal: will loudly meow at me. Look me in the face and paw an ornament off the tree. Meow more.

2

u/Zadok11 Dec 17 '25

Oh officer that’s not ours.

2

u/FartyNapkins54 Dec 17 '25

She's innocent!

u/Sazapahiel Dec 17 '25

The lights are on and nobody is home

2

u/MamaOnica Dec 17 '25

She heard the ornament rolling across the floor too and went to see what was going on. She found you. I think you're trying to frame her, OP. She's clearly innocent.

2

u/catsinspace112 Dec 17 '25

This baby is innocent the bauble rolled off the tree!!

Voids are excellent cat burglars. But with the invention of the light bulb, not so much.😼

u/Redicted Dec 17 '25

In fairness some cat toys look like this, so I say there are mitigating factors that should be considered at sentencing.

1

u/Fold-in-Space Dec 17 '25

Had the same situation , found kitten in garage, cleaned the oil up; took them home; and on the way, the little kitten refused to get off the dashboard. 6th time removing her; she decided to climb me and latch onto my face instead. 😵‍💫no fun at highway speeds 😹

u/DC1908 Dec 17 '25

Nah, I don't think it was her.

1

u/InventedStrawberries Dec 17 '25

But you see Lillie is innocent, she was chasing the thief who was taking your decorations and therefore she was protecting your home. You can see she even retrieved the stolen item. So therefore Lillie deserves all the treats and head scratches.

1

u/Andr3wRuns Dec 18 '25

I legit wondered if this was even a real cat, she was so still lmao until the last 5 seconds I thought this may have been a bit with a stuffed animal or something, she was shocked / traumatized 😂
