If a domestic cat has got into the habit of chewing wires or gnawing other things that are not intended for his teeth, he may not have enough attention, the Klops portal writes with reference to zoopsychologist Svetlana Kapustina.
Many cat owners have experienced damaged headphones, chewed wires, or damaged items. “As a rule, this behavior means that the cat has a lack of activity and attention from the owner,” says the animal psychologist. According to her, this behavior has nothing to do with nutrition, it’s just a way to attract attention and throw out energy. Also, problems can arise due to the fact that there are several cats in the family. Then the cause of “wrecking” can be conflicts between animals.
According to the zoopsychologist, this behavior is easy to correct if it has changed recently. In other cases, it is better to consult a specialist.
“You can wean it off in a couple of weeks, but if the behavior is fixed and the cat has been harming for a long time, it will not be so easy,” Kapustina emphasized. For those who want to try to wean the animal from bad habits on their own, she advised to pay attention to the organization of space. “A cat must have high shelves, scratching posts, toys. It is desirable for the owners to spend gaming sessions with her for at least 10-15 minutes a day, ”the expert emphasized.
