How to Prevent Cats from Biting Cords
1. loudly scold
When you find your cat biting the cord, immediately stop it and loudly scold it to let it know this behavior is wrong. If scolding doesn't work, you can give it a small punishment, such as gently hitting its butt, head, or mouth with a paper rod. But remember not to use too much force, or it may cause your cat to become rebellious and exacerbate the destruction.
2. Spray smells cats hate
If your cat has developed the habit of biting cords, you can spray smells they hate on the cords, such as perfume, floral water, lemon water, and strong stimulants like camphor oil. However, make sure the liquid you spray on the wires is harmless to your cat, so as not to cause poisoning if it accidentally ingests it.
3. Distract attention
In addition to the above measures, you can also prevent your cat from biting cords by distracting its attention. For example, when your cat is biting the cord, you can attract it with toys like wool balls, toy balls, and chew sticks. With these toys to play with, your cat won't want to bite the cord.
4. Organize and protect power cords
In addition to dealing with your cat, you should also pay attention to organizing and storing commonly used wires in your daily life. If it's inconvenient to organize and store power cord and extension cord every day, you can use cord protection tubes to protect the power cords, so that your cat can't bite them.
By following these tips, you can effectively prevent your cat from biting wires and keep your home safe and tidy.
