answers 0:My wife and I adopted a wonderful cat from a rescue society. His name is Truman and is a wonderful pet. He only sleeps on his back, likes to play in water and is very affectionate. We love him to death!We've had him for 2 1/2 months now and some problems are starting to arise. Despite using Bitter Apple and Bitter Yuck, he eats the plants. We even used a hot pepper spray and he STILL eats the plants. Not only that, he is digging and eating the dirt the plants are growing in, despite more spray and slices of habanero pepper.To top it all off, he has started to chew on cords and cables all over the house, the lamp shades, boxes, shoes and anything else he can get his mouth on.And before you ask, NO, HE IS NOT TEETHING!This cannot continue. We cannot go around the house every morning and evening unplugging and putting away all electronics, shoes, plants, boxes and everything else.Any ! suggestions on what we can do? We love him and do not want to return him to the society!...Show moreanswers 1:Buy a cat kennel and put him in it when you are not able to keep him supervised...ex: at night, when ya'll leave the house etc..etc. He will get used to it and ya'll can be worry free when he is in the kennel.. Good luck!!answers 2:Clove oil works miracles! Instead of bitter apple, use clove oil. Also, when he does that, tell him no and put him somewhere else to play.Finally, my advice to you is to be patient. Cats up to a year of age are very energetic and naughty. After that, especially if neutered, the begin to be calmer and just lay around, instead of biting things.Oh, and you can put a platsic wire mesh around the plants and/or on the soil of the plants.Please keep the cat! He sounds adorable, and frankly these little cute mishaps are not so bad to rejext a cat. A cat is a responsibility for better and for worse, it's not an item you purchase and take it back ! if it is "defective". Plus, as i said, you can't find a cat wh! o has no bad habits at all!Oh, and have a look at the aspca.com list of poisonous plants, many of teh plants we have at home are toxic to cats, maybe you should get rid of some plants if he doesn't stop eating them....answers 3:My neighbor is threatening me, that she will take him to the feral clinic....answers 4:no it is never ever to late. That is the best thing for the over populated and homless/abused animal population. Tell your neighbor she is plain cruel though!! Wow.answers 5:US A SPRAY BOTTLE WITH A STREAM SETTING THEY GET THE HINT AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMESanswers 6:Cray bait??Target Practice??Chew toy?? something tough haanswers 7:you've already said that the pepper spray does'nt work and all i can say is to go further. everytime you catch him chewing something show him what he has done ( as in put it up to his face.) and soak him in water. make sure to do this every single time you catch him in the act. Yes it will take a long time but I assure you if he doesn't! like water he will not enjoy being soaked. I understand you love your cat and don't want to return him so continue doing this repetitively and hopefully he will get through this stage without causing you and your wife more trouble.Hope this helps!...answers 8:i;m sorry to say, but what took you so long to have you cat neutered, the cats probably howling and spraying, hes probably not allot of fun..... although you didn't mention if hes a boy or girl, it makes a world of difference...... good luckanswers 9:So recently got two kittens and one I already named. (Bali) and the other one I can't decide on a name. I'm deciding between Berlioz, Toulouse, Fuentes, and Moscow. He is a Russian blue. He's super tiny and is uber sweet. What would be the best name for him? Leave your answers below , thaaanks.answers 10:If Pudding hasn't had her shots.I would assume this means that she isn't spayed either.You don't say how old she is but are concerned about her growth.So I guess she's ! a juvenile kitten.It may be a urinary tract infection and she would nee! d to see a vet.Or if she hasn't been spayed yet she might be coming in and out of heat.If they don't get pregnant they come back into heat every couple of weeks until they do.I would take her to the vet for a complete check up, have her checked for worms,get her shots and have her spayed.Hope this helps !answers 11:PUSSAY(:answers 12:How about Kiev? It seems like that would fit a Blue 🙂 or Fyodor, because thats just an awesome name.answers 13:Try getting him some of those "kitty greens" that he CAN chew on.. and get him toys and stuff he can chew on.. things that are oki for him. sounds like you've got one bored, attention-seeking cat. Whenever we got a cat, we'd get them in pairs.. to keep each other company. It always seemed to work. We had Tilly and Baby, Minnie and Pearl, etc. Also go to your local library, see if they have Cat Fancy or another cat magazine, and look in back issues, they often have Q's and A's about cat behavior in there. Hope this helps....a! nswers 14:I'm not an expert on cats, but you should definitely take her to the vet. If u are concerned, which u are, take her to the vet, get the full checkup. Just in case there is something wrong
