There are several ways to prevent cats from biting the cord: shouting loudly, spraying the cat with unpleasant odors, diverting attention, storing and protecting the power cord. First of all, when the owner finds the cat biting the thread, he can yell at it loudly to let him know that it is wrong to do so. Secondly, you can also spray some smell that the cat hates on the line so that it will not come close. Furthermore, you can also use toys such as yarn balls, toy balls, and chewing sticks to divert the cat’s attention. Finally, owners should also store and protect the power cord so that cats cannot bite the cord.

1. Reprimand loudly

When a cat bites the thread, the owner must stop it in time and yell loudly to let the cat know that this behavior is wrong. If scolding doesn't work, you can give it some small punishment, such as slapping its butt, head, mouth, etc. with a paper stick. But remember not to use too much force, otherwise it may cause the cat's rebellious psychology and intensify its destruction.

2. Spray the odor that the cat hates

If the cat has developed the habit of biting the thread, the owner can spray some odor that the cat hates on the line, such as perfume, toilet water, Lemon water, essential oil and other irritating things. However, owners need to ensure that the liquid sprayed on the wires is not harmful to cats to avoid poisoning by accidental ingestion.

3. Divert attention

In addition to the above measures, owners can also prevent cats from biting threads by diverting attention. For example, when a cat bites the thread, you can use toys such as yarn balls, toy balls, chew sticks, etc. to attract it. If the cat has toys to play with, it will naturally not bite the thread.

4. Store and protect power cords

In addition to starting with cats, owners should also pay attention to storing the cords commonly used in daily life. If it is not convenient to organize and store the power cords and plug-in cables of electrical appliances every day, you can also use anti-bite wire wrapping tubes to protect the power cords so that cats cannot bite them.
