Household wires ... that danger for cats and especially for kittens, who are more likely to bite it ... well, everything. One of the biggest dangers that our friends have at home is electrical wiring, but of course, we cannot do without them, so what to do to keep the furry ones protected?
For this, we will tell you why does my cat bite the wires, and we will offer you a series of tips and tricks that will be useful so that you do not have to worry about this issue anymore.
The cable, that attractive toy ...
It is like that. The cable is long, thin, weighs very little and has the perfect resistance to soothe the discomfort caused by developing teeth. It is, in this respect, very similar to the ropes, only that these can be broken easily (and, of course, they are not dangerous). The kitten enjoys biting everything it finds, because it is not only about biting and that's it, but also about exploring its territory, which is something it does every day.
We might think that there will come a time when he will already know where everything is, but the cat is not like that. The cat when it grows up will continue to explore everything, and that means that if there is a new wire it will, at the very least, sniff it.
…and dangerous
In the same way that we do not allow small children to approach the plugs, neither should we allow cats to approach them or the cables. The danger is real. If you bite on a wire that is plugged in, you will be electrocuted and your life could be in serious danger. Therefore, it is necessary to take the necessary measures so that this does not happen. What are those measurements? The following:
- Keep cables hidden behind furniture.
- Protect the cables with PVC pipes.
- Unplug, if possible all, the cables in the house when you are not there and when you sleep.
- Play with your cat daily, 2-3 times a day for 5-10 minutes. A tired cat is a happy cat who won't be so eager to chew on wires.
Protect your cat from cables to avoid problems.
