Chewing Everything??!!??!!

I have a male who is almost 2 years old & still chewing on everything he can!! I have used the bitter apple spray & that seems to work but I can't spray everything like my clothes!!! Any suggestions?? Why does he chew, & sometimes eat, everything like a kitten still??? He even bites the corner of the wall, the corner of the marble sink, not just soft things. Sometimes I think he is going to break a tooth because he bites on things that are hard! He has chewed through multiple wires--too many to even count! I now have wireless keyboard & mouse! He eats a lot of things too--which really worries me because he has actually thrown up things he ate like paper & strings. We are super cautious about leaving anything he could get to but he always finds something--he even goes in the garbages sometimes. He is the most affectionate kitty & he has a great personality too! Any suggestions on why he chews & eats everything? I don't want him to get sick or worse.

I would take this cat the vet fairly quickly and ask for a big panel to be run on him. Is he neutered? If he isn't then neutering him will help.

He may also need a better nutrition food or vitamin supplement. Does he go outside? Could he have an internal parasite?

Thanks for responding...

He is neutered & an inside only cat. I feed him Fancy Feast wet food & Pet Guard dry food...which is always in his bowl & available to him. I have had his poop tested 3 separate times & there has never been a paparsite found. I will start giving him vitamins--any other suggestions? Is he just bored or something?

Well, fancy feats isn't really the best food choice, although I never heard of Pet Guard food. I would switch to a higher quality food, some good suggestions in the nutrition forum. Does he have enough interesting toys? maybe try redirecting his attention to a toy....good luck!

He should go to the vet, and there should not be paper clips and string out for him to eat. They can do him serious internal damage.

He would benefit from a blood test, not a fecal exam.
