Christmas tree flocking is made out of plastic and is not much of a concern once it's dry, unless your cat ingested a large amount that could cause an intestinal obstruction. If a large volume was eaten or if it was wet when it was ingested you should contact your veterinarian. Otherwise I think it's okay to monitor for any vomiting or decrease in appetite.
