I've had cats all my life but have never had trouble with any of them chewing or eating foreign objects until our current two came along.
Our female chews and destroys cords, cables, and Crocs, but doesn't swallow them. I'm ordering cable covers, because bitter pet deterrent doesn't work for her. She makes a face and drools, but keeps coming back to them.
Our male chews plastic. We have some EVA tiles on the floor in one room, and I he's bitten off and swallowed some pieces of it, vomiting them up afterward.
I guess I'll need to remove that flooring.
We keep things that are typically hazardous to cats put away, but it's impossible to keep everything away from them.
They're young healthy cats, 1 and 2 years old, indoor only. They have some toys we keep out, they have a good scratching post, they have each other to play with, and with the pandemic we're home all the time.
Is there anything else I can do to stop this behavior?
