Hello there! It sounds like your cat's chewing habit is becoming quite the adventure for both of you. Let's look at why this might be happening. Cats often chew on things out of curiosity, boredom, or stress. Sometimes, it's a way for them to explore their surroundings, much like young cats do during teething, although older cats can exhibit this behavior too due to anxiety or to get attention.
To help curb this behavior, start by providing safe alternatives like chew toys or cat-friendly treats. Playing with your cat regularly can also help burn off excess energy and make them less likely to chew on inappropriate objects. Keep tempting items like cords, shoes, and clothing out of reach, or use deterrent sprays on objects you don't want chewed.
Be on the lookout for any signs of distress, such as excessive grooming, changes in appetite, or sudden aggression, as these can indicate underlying health issues. If your cat seems to be chewing excessively despite these measures, it might be worth exploring further.
I'd recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet veterinarians to discuss your cat's behavior in more detail and find the best solution. We're here to help you and your furry friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
