YSK Live, cut Christmas trees can be deadly for cats. Pine needles can be ingested and puncture intestines, and pine is highly toxic to cats, potentially causing liver damage and death.
Additionally, the water the tree sits in has pine resin and is also toxic to cats.
This is my first year in my own place and I want to get a live Christmas tree but my friend warned me that they can be deadly to your cat. I'd never heard this before and I grew up with cats and live trees. Just something to consider if your cat likes to chew plants or won't leave your tree alone. I might go the fake route because of this TIL. If this is common knowledge I somehow missed out on, forgive me.
