Will a kitten chew on electric wires and cables?
Rabbits chew wires and such because they need to keep their teeth filed. Cats and dogs will chew, especially if they are bored. I would say dogs more predominantly. What they choose to chew is strictly what is most convenient and curiosity will also drive chewing anything in their sights. As far as cats, they have an intense curiosity, but if your cat has not shown interest in the wires and cables its not likely you will have a problem with them. Cats generally like things that move easily. But that is not to say they won’t approach and play with the cables. Its always in you’re and your pets best interest to make sure you have anything of concern to you safe guarded. As far as chew proofing for the duration of the cats life, I think you will find once the cat settles into adulthood you will find it not to be a problem.

If you have a kitten or puppy, it’s most likely that at one point, they will chew on wires and cables. They won’t necessarily do it their entire lives (though I’m sure that there are some that do), but think of it this way: you’re a kitten and all of a sudden you see a wire move or see something that looks a whoooole lot like string…well of course you’re gonna chase after it and play with it! I would just keep an eye on your kitten when he or she’s playing, but I would definitely get wire/cord protectors or something called bitter apple which deters dogs and cats from biting whatever you spray it on. You might want to invest in a cat condo or at the very least a whole bunch of toys, so it will give your kitty something else to play with rather than cords and wires.
