They may sparkle and shine — but don't be fooled!
While lots of people — especially vintage holiday decor lovers — are all about sprinkling a healthy dose of tinsel on the tree, if you have a cat at home, you better be careful!

"The problem is that it will glom up in the intestine, causing obstruction," says Dr. Courtney.
And it gets worse: "[Tinsel] is in a line, and when we see a line like that, it can slice through the intestine."
