Does anybody else have a cat who likes to lick the walls or do I just have a strange cat? I would like to get him to stop. Any suggestions?

jgsmith,

You might want to try spraying "Bitter Apple" on the area where he likes to lick. They hate the taste. It's sold in any pets store and has a green and yellow label. Also, cats hate citrus. That's another possibility.

Good luck.

Donna

We have a deep-set window where the cats like to sit. This is an older house so apparently there is a leak around the window and the plaster is coming off in chunks in this area. I am constantly finding our cats EATING the plaster! Any clue as the why they'd want to nosh on plaster?

It never occured to me to spray biter apple there *slaps forehead*

Sometimes these odd cravings cant point to a vitamin deficiency. In either case, I would first try and suppliment thier diet with a multi vitamin for cats or the 3v caps which are an omega3 fatty acid along with vitamins A,D and E.
