Pet Talk, I need your wise counsel please. Last year I didn't put up a Christmas tree. This year, because I feel better, I intend to do it. I was given a 3' tall artificial tree that is meant to stand on the floor. My question is this: should I leave off the garland? I'm afraid my cat will try to play with it, and then try to munch on it, and I wonder what would happen if she ingested any of it. I have no problem with just lights, bows and ornaments. In past years I've used an even smaller tree, stood it on a table and used ribbon instead of garland.
