Cats are especially attracted to Christmas trees. Any opportunity to climb and explore something new in the household like a decorated Christmas tree brings fun and adventure to most cats. But a cats’ curiosity can get them in trouble from chewing on the wrong ‘something’. So just like little children and toddlers, cats and especially kittens, need to be supervised around Christmas trees and decorations.
Never leave a cat (or young child) unsupervised. Many ornaments from foreign countries may be painted with lead based paints. Keep these out of the mouths of cats, puppies, and kids.
Do not encourage cats to play with tinsel. They may chew and swallow pieces that may get stuck in the intestinal tract and will need surgical intervention to remove them-as will pieces of plastic, ornaments, and wire.
This is a good time to give your cat better choices for fun, like a catnip mouse, feather toys, or kid safe rubber balls. Ping pong balls are great fun with cats.
