174.1Watch for wood treatmentsMUNCSS::BURKEMon May 08 1989 17:196
    	Definitely a good idea. Not only for 'natural environment', but
    also for extracting nutrients from chewing the bark.
    	The only caveat is: ensure that the branches have not been
    sprayed/treated with a wood preservative, de-infestation, etc.

174.2Try the note on Universal Perches?WITNES::HANNULAWell, you see, I have this cat.......Mon May 08 1989 18:326
    There is a not a while back that Jean wrote regarding using natural
    branches.  Jean talked about using a bleach solution and baking
    the branches.  I don't remember the details, nor the location of
    the note.
