Christmas is a festive time of the year. Let Christmas be safe and happy for your cat.
I quit putting up a Christmas tree about eight years ago because of my cats. I had three house cats; the oldest one climbed up the tree and knocked it over. I blamed the youngest one naturally at first. I saw the most senior cat climbing up later on. I never put up a tree again. Cats can eat and chew tinsel, bulbs, string, etc. I once had a cat take a plastic bird off of my tree and take off its wings. My older cat looked at him. What is your problem? Don’t you know that it is not a real bird?
My Siamese cat once swallowed a piece of string. I was able to remove the line from her mouth, luckily.
Cats have had horrible internal injuries and surgeries from items they have ingested on Christmas and other occasions.
Error on the side of caution this Christmas for your cat well being. No one would want their cat to die from something they ate on Christmas or any other time of the year.
Merry Christmas, Dear Cats.

Buddy has a passion for all things string. He had surgery at a tender 5 months of age due to eating some string from someplace (who knows where) and it got all wrapped up in his intestines. He was one sick kitty but the folks at Pioneer Animal Hospital took great care of him. I am VERY careful now with anything that has anything string related or plastic related. They don’t always use good sense, do they?
No they do not.
Thank you
