What can I spray on wires to stop my cat from chewing on them?

Cayenne pepper won't hurt, it's what I use on soil to keep my dogs from getting into my potted plants! Trust me, their sense of smell is very strong and it only takes one time for them to find out that it tastes bad. It's uncomfortable, and cats often foam at the mouth when they taste something bad, but it won't last. Alternatively, you could get a bitter apple spray or similar at a pet store to spray on the cords. These work with variable success. The best option is to cover the cords or put them behind furniture.

There are products that you can purchase from pet stores (such as Petco or Petsmart) that you spray or rub on things to deter your pet from. They work by being bitter tasting or smelling bad to your cat so that she won't want to go by them. That would be my recommendation so that she stops chewing on the cords. Good luck!

Many cats do. there is no specific reason for that, they just like to do it. here is something you can buy to protect your cables: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CritterCord-citrus-cable-protector-rabbits/dp/B000EH2I5O

Yes vinegar and apply cider vinegar are ok to use. ALso you are trying to deter her from chewing, so if it is effective she won't be licking up most of it anyway. In some cases of large ingestion, some pets can have an upset stomach, but there are no toxicity concerns here. I would recommend using caution when spraying wires with a liquid. You may want to consider purchasing a plastic wire encasing box of some sort as a safer option. Visit your local hardware store to look at your options here. Best of luck to you and take care!

I'm not sure you will be able to create a finish where the scent will last enough to discourage chewing without potentially being irritating to the nose and discouraging the cat from using the furniture. You certainly can add lemon essential oil in a small amount, but I'm not sure if will deter chewing. Cats generally dislike a citrus taste, so a natural citrus wood cleaner often works well, but again you don't want the scent to be overpowering since their sense of smell is so much better than ours. I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

There are various sprays available at the pet store. Bitter apple is safe and usually effective. Other products may be necessary if this doesn't work and are generally safe if labeled for use as a pet deterrent. Avoid using any essential oils or other products that are not labeled for this use. I hope that helps and this stops Luna from chewing on things she shouldn't.

Great question! Kittens unfortunately like to chew cords, which isn't safe for them or good for you when you have to buy replacements. One way to stop Ginny from doing this is to cover the cords in pre-split hollow tubing. You can get this from computer stores or home improvement stores. Hide the cords under furniture, and keep them as short as possible. You can use cable ties to make them short. You can use a cat deterrent spray on them, but do not use a lot of it. Give her more toys to chew on, which will distract her from the cords and allow her to safely chew on something. Finally, if you notice her about to start chewing on a cord, distract her by playing with her.
