11 month old kitten won't stop chewing

[sarah54]

Our 11 month old kitten Luca chews on everything in site. He even chewed my husbands new work cellphone (he was not too pleased!). We have put straws around the house and he'll chew them for a bit but then he gets bored.

What can we do to get him to stop chewing everything?!

Chewing is not as common in cats as dogs, but I had a cat that loved to chew. He is now 6 and has grown out of chewing on everything, but he does still like to chew. The first thing I recommends is to by some Bitter Apple Spray

This will help deter the cat from chewing on the wrong things. The next thing to do is give him something that he is supposed to chew on. I tried many things with my Levi, any of the cat chew toys he would destroy. He is a good chewer. He loved Kitty kongs, but would destroy them in one day. So I decided to try some dog chew toys. The ones that he loves best are the Orka brand by Pet Stages.

He likes the mini bone, but usually I have to hold it while he chews on it. So I bought the small Orka Jack. That sits on the floor & he can walk up to it any time he likes & chew. The plastic is better than the plastic used for cat toys, but doesn't have the strange rubber smell of some other dog toys.

Our cat just started to chew. We adopted had him over a year ago, he's about 4 yrs old. He chew's on paper and any paper he can reach. I tried to give him things to chew on but doesn't work. I'll try the bitter apple and let you know if it works
