When cats are anxious or exposed to stressors, they tend to display behaviors that can be harmful to them. One of these is chewing on plastic. If your cat has the habit of chewing plastic items around your home, you should take steps to prevent it by identifying the cause of your cat’s anxiety or stress. Aside from preventing exposure, there are supplements that can help a cat relax as well as medications to lessen anxiety. Synthetic pheromones can also be used to help a cat relax especially when there are changes in the immediate environment or while adjusting to a new home. If your pet’s stress is caused by cats outdoors, try closing the window blinds so he won’t be able to see outdoors. Also, keep plastic items away from your pet’s reach so he won’t have the opportunity to have access and chew on these things. Keeping your cat busy with cat-safe toys and regular interaction can divert his attention away from chewing plastic.
If you have any concerns about your pet’s behavior, talk to your veterinarians Pasadena, MD.
