he chews on clothes!

[mougi]

Hi, Sioux lately chews on many things - especially, I find holes in clothes = textile things, but also cables or plastic things. I have done everything for him - all kinds of toys, inventing new ones all the time, playing with him when I'm home, grass, etc.
We treat him like a baby; he has great food. He spends a lot of time alone at home (only inside cat) - we work, but he does it also when we are around.
Any advice, please? Thank you.

I know you are not going to like my suggestion but here goes :)

I really think your cat needs a cat friend. I know you have previously stated that you don't want to adopt another cat but I would like you to consider it, for Sioux sake.

You have previously posted that Sioux eats cables, chews clothes and acts aggressively towards you. He sounds very very bored. :(

Our Milly acted aggressively with me & my partner (PaysForIt), as our older cat wouldn't play with her. We adopted a young friend for her, following suggestions from this forum.

Within days Milly calmed down, her behaviour improved and she was much happier in herself. We are very pleased that we adopted our loveable Milo

PS. Sioux is one cute kitty ;)

PPS. Where do you live ? UK or USA, City or countryside

PPPS. If it is safe to do so, maybe you could let him play outside and that way he could make kitty friends without you needing to adopt another cat.

I noticed that he is still a kitten ... I agree, if you work and he is alone quite a bit... he is bored and would love a buddy!!!

Good luck!;)

I have a kitten about the same age who chews EVERYTHING ... she is at the "teething" age and your kitty could be too. Her favourite is paper/books. She loves chewing those. Another young kitty would be great, but my body corporate only allows one animal as does my lease so it is not an option. What I do, instead, is give her things that she can chew and play with. How about giving your kitty an old shirt or something soaked in catnip or something like that? Also, make sure you play with her as much as possible when you are at home to allow her to expend some energy.

Good luck, and more pics of your pretty kitty please!
