Kitten Biting Electrical Wires
My 8 week old kitten, Cinder, is biting Cat5 cables. More seriously,
she's started biting 120 volt electrical wires. Any ideas on stopping this behaviour? |

Get some tubing from the hardware store or cable covers. (Looks better than the duct tape I used when mine were kittens. Worked though, I bundled anything hanging together, and any thing laying I taped down to the floor). You can try apple bitter on them, but to me, the safest thing to do (and it does tidy it all up) is to encase them. |

What we did was to get some clear plastic tubing available at most any hardware store. Then we slit in lengthwise and stuffed the cords inside.

Cover wires with automotive vacuum hosing; very strong thick walls nearly impossible to bite through (designed to withstand very high engine temps), very flexible, comes in very long lengths - sold by the foot or yard, easy to cut to size, large assortment of inside diameters permits covering single wires or bundling several wires, and the hosing tastes absolutely horrible. No need to unplug wires, simple slice the hose lengthwise on one side and slip over the wires. Your wire-biting problem is solved. Phil |
