Christmas-loving cat gets a new hangout that is out of this world!

Nordman, Idaho - This little cat loves hanging out under the illuminated branches of the Christmas tree. She gets bummed whenever the tree comes down, but this year her owner had an idea to keep the kitty happy.

This Christmas-tree-obsessed cat is named Ginger. Her owner Sara Taylor told The Dodo that Ginger "loves how everything sparkles and lights up."

The animal doesn't even bat at the ornaments: "She’s very gentle and not destructive at all. She will sit under the tree every single day while it is up."

Ginger is extremely disappointed when the little tree gets taken down after the holidays.

Sara said that once the tree is gone, the cat spends days sitting where the fir used to stand as if she is mourning the loss of her favorite place.

This year, Sara couldn't take Ginger's sadness, so she decided to do something about the situation.

"It made me sad when I realized she missed it so much. So this year I decided I would replace it with something special."

Sara decided the tree replacement had to be something amazing, so she didn't just get the cat a different tree. Instead, she got Ginger her very own space capsule.

According to Sara, Ginger was very curious about what her owner was putting together in the spot that used to house her favorite tree, keeping a close eye on the construction. Sara said, "She very patiently watched me put it together. It didn’t take long for her to want to explore it once it was ready."

Once the space shuttle was finished, it was clear: Ginger's owner really hit the bull's eye with this one! It was the purrfect tree replacement. Sara exclaimed, "Now she sits in it daily. She loves it!"
