My house mate wants to get a Christmas tree for the living room. I have heard that they are toxic to cats so I was not a huge fan of having a Christmas tree (unless it was a fake Christmas tree) but then my other house mate said that he wanted a Christmas tree too. So I am out voted.
I could keep my cat Mia downstairs for the whole of Christmas. It's a good sized space for a cat. But the cats only all just got used to living with each other. And I don't want to undo that work by isolating Mia downstairs (we have three cats in the house, each house mate has a cat).
Am I being paranoid about the tree, how dangerous are Christmas trees really for cats? How worried should I be? Mia has never been around a Christmas tree so I guess I don't know if she would eat the needles or not, and I know that My house mate will make sure that the cats can't get at the Christmas tree water.
So what do you guys think? How toxic are Christmas trees and would I be paranoid if I kept Mia away from it for the entirety of December?
