Sometimes furry pets choose completely inappropriate things to sharpen their teeth on.

So, sometimes the real hunt goes for all sorts of wires, which is why not only household appliances, but also the life of the cat are at risk.

If it is not possible to hide all electrical appliances, try to make them less attractive to the cat.

In this case, you have two options: use special repellent sprays or rely on folk methods.

So, experienced cat lovers suggest smearing the winding meters of wires with something that causes rejection in the cat.

Spices with a strong smell and a sharp taste are suitable for this purpose. These include garlic, mustard, vinegar, and hot pepper.

You can also use more “gentle” methods, such as essential oils (tea tree, lavender, citrus) and fragrant ointments – for example, the well-known “Zvezdochka” balm.

Don't forget: during the period of weaning the cat from the bad habit, the repellent smells should be periodically renewed.
