My Tuffy has been chewing on weird things lately. Like the metal knobs on dresser drawers, the metal levers on the heat registers, metal clothes hangers, the metal handle on a old fly swatter [sp?]. Always seems to be something metal. Is he just a weird kitty or is he having problems with a sore tooth or something?
Yvonne wonders if he is just trying to keep his teeth sharp? I know they sharpen there claws but I never heard of keeping there teeth sharp. I would think chewing on metal would dull his teeth not sharpen them.
He seems to eat the hard dry cat food with no problems, he don't act like his mouth hurts.
Tonite I found him chewing on a cord for a lamp. I am affraid he is going to electricute [sp?] himself.
I am just wondering if he is doing this because of some problem he has and if I should ask his vet about it?
