yeah he is full grown....i have the weirdest animals......this cat loves elecrical wires, my other cat is cross eyed with extreme long hair between its paws and has awful breathe, my pitbull loves to eat trees and that about it.

Other than that, route all wires through conduit or something he can't chew through...15 layers of duct tape?

+1 i remember hearing that cats don't associate you with the water so they don't get pissed off with you but do stop cos they hate water

Edwards80:
You have to spray them with water whilst they are still doing what you don't want them to. . so with it being electrical wires, probably isn't a good idea.

Try wiping a bit of Garlic down the cables for a short while, Cat's hate Garlic.

One of my cat's chewed through the cable of my £80 earphones. . . don't fancy covering them in Garlic though so I just keep them out of his reach now  :angry:

Garlic is a good idea, or get some concentrated lemon juice - they dont like that much either.

No need to soak the place, just a few drops each day in the problem areas , maybe get him some toys as a distraction, catnip mouse, scratching post - something like that - he wont like the first two toys you buy, they only like the third one, so make the first two cheap ones ;)

Malenko:
have you tried hitting it?
