Yes actually. If a cat somewhat steps on a woodchip, it can result as a splinter in the cat's paw pads. If a splinter is left too long in a cat's pads, it can cause an infection to the cat's paw. However, if a feline decides to eat a woodchip, it can result in sickness, or death. Wood is a hard, pointy material not meant to be eaten by certain animals, especially a cat. Wood can tear slight scratches into the trachea, and other inside body parts such as the stomach, this can cause death. If your cat smallows woodchips, go to the vet idmediatly.
