If your cat has trouble resisting chewing on electrical cords, you need to act to protect her. Electric cords are chewy and feel good to her mouth but can shock or strangle your cat. Either of these situations is very dangerous to your cat. Tape or mount electric cords to the trim to hide them and away from your cat Use PVC piping or cord covers so you can ride the cords through them and prevent chewing and electrocution. Spray electric cords with a deterrent that tastes bad if your cat continues to show interest in them. You can purchase these deterrents from reputable pet supply stores. Provide your cat with other spongy things to chew on. And ensure your cat gets lots of play and exercise time to give her the mental stimulation she needs. Exercise will tire her out and help keep her out of mischief. Contact your Salem, VA vet to learn more.
