A chubby house cat is now on the naughty list for almost setting fire to his family's home after he climbed up their Christmas tree and brought it crashing down onto burning candles. Owner Anna Scullion said the artificial tree had only been up for half an hour before she realised 'troublemaker' Eric had jumped inside.
The 51-year-old began filming the tree to show it off to her friends yet just two seconds later, she was left shrieking her cat's name as the four-foot tree toppled off its two-foot-tall table.
Footage shows the top of the tree bash into a shelf just millimetres from her £500 TV and its lower half land on a table topped with three candles.
