Our cat Binky, who is almost 5, is a chewer. We have some cabinets in our dining room that had wooden knobs on them and all of a sudden we noticed that there were teeth marks on them! Caught Binky in the act of gnawing on one.
We replaced the wooden knobs with ceramic ones. No more problems. Then at night I would hear a noise and there was Binky on the dresser, chewing the bathroom doorknob! He lost interest when we changed the knobs on all the doors to the lever type. He can't quite get his teeth around the handles!
I've had a lot of cats and none of them ever exhibited this behavior. Anyone else had experience with this? Otherwise he is a normal catly type. I guess chew toys wouldn't be the answer...................
