I have a 7-year old cat (domestic short hair - aka common house cat) that chews through electrical power cords, plastic shopping bags, plastic hoses - basically anything plastic that he can get in his mouth, and has for the past 5 years.
He has a companion cat, is relatively active (you know, for a cat), is otherwise very healthy. Neither cat goes outside and they both eat a good diet of Iams Adult Cat Food (dry, very rarely they get a little wet food).
So, what would cause a cat to chew on cords? I have gone through countless computer keyboards, printers and mice, several lamps, a couple of coffee makers, a blender and at least two toasters - all of these things are plugged in and have live power going through them. If he has gotten shocked, it doesn't seem to phase him.
Any help on why or how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
