I didn't know cats chewed! What is she chewing? Maybe she needs some chewable treats. There are some for dental care she might like.

Can they catch her chewing? They could squirt her with a squirt gun.

My dogs hate bitter apple. I do have to remember to re-apply it periodically though.

I have never heard of a cat chewing on things. She probably has a toothache and chewing helps. When was the last time she was to the vet and had her teeth checked?

Oh yes, they chew on things. Often like to chew on wool or woolen things. The dried flower arrangements don't surprise me but the furniture does. I think Gammy may be on to something. How long as she beenn doing this and how old is she?

I think the cat is 2 years old. She chews on the dust flaps on the bottom of the couch, corners of wooden furniture, dried flower arrangements, all her toys which may be plastic, fabric, or mylar strips, or even fur, she loves shoelaces.

My parents take her to the vet regularly but I don't know if checking teeth thoroughly is included in the regular checkup.

This cat used to suck on my parents' necks at night or if my dad took a nap during the day. They (especially my dad), would wake up with cat hickey's on his neck each morning (no kidding.) So to me this indicates the cat is highly anxious for some reason or was weaned too early. I think both cats were gotten from the Humane Society or another similar org which specializes in just cats.

Where do I get bitter apple? Is it an oil from the health food store? An air freshener they would put on their dried plants?

Go to a pet store and look for the bitter Apple spray. They also have litter lime. HOWEVER, my two puppies do not mind the taste of either one of them. I am looking for a way to keep them from chewing on wood. DH wants to try jalepeno pepper juice next!

Yes, I hear that pepper juice can work, but it may also stain.

Bitter Apple and Bitter Lime are spritz-on preparations made to spray on things that you don't want in your pet's mouth. Be sure and read instructions.
