Reading that the water in the base of a Christmas tree is dangerous to cats
surprised me.  Is this true only if you add chemicals or is it the tree sap
that's bad?  My two cats drink from mine (last year and the year before too)
with no apparent effects.  They also like to play with the tinsel but it
hasn't made them sick (I don't think they eat it though).  The only real 
problem I've had with them is that they steal ornaments off the lower branches
and hide them.
