A week ago, I did a cleaning spree in my upstairs bathroom, taking everything out, washing out the litterbox, throwing out the old shower curtain and rugs, washing down the walls, etc. Once the room was spotless, I put everything back with a new shower curtain and new rugs. The next morning, one edge of one of the rugs had been chewed on, leaving some threads loose from being ripped out. I trimmed off the loose threads, and the rugs haven't been messed with since.
However, this Saturday, I discovered that somebody has been chewing on the new shower curtain, leaving an inch and a half strip all tattered. Both Casey and Smokey may be responsible, but I've only caught Smokey actively chewing on it, something they never did with the old one. This evening, after finding that he's been chewing even more while I'm at work, I sprayed where he's been chewing with Bitter Yuck. He went in, took one sniff of it, and started chewing and licking where I'd sprayed it. I then tried some of the bitter apple spray that I also had from Petsmart, and he appears to like the taste of that as well.
Anybody have any suggestions? Am I correct in assuming that he's simply marking his territory with the new shower curtain?
