Christmas lights.

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.

Personally I'd leave the Garland off for saftey reasons but I know people have left it on without any mishaps.If your worried...leave it off.It will make a more relaxed Christmas for you

I know that the old fashioned icecicles (sp?) are very dangerous. I would think that garland could be as well! I'd err on the side of caution!

You know, I should just decorate it with all the furry mice, Ping-Pong balls and other cat toys that somebody never plays with! (chuckle) Never mind all the garland and ornaments.
