    No, it is actually more of a Kitten thing.  Young cats, just like young
dogs, like to chew on things, and for some odd reason, they love electrical
wires...for my current cat I had to get this spray to spray onto electrical
cords to keep him from electrocuting himself (it was a pepper spray, I
discovered it was not a good idea to spray it in my bedroom before I went to bed
;^)  ...They will generally outgrow that, more or less, by about 2 years of age,
although, they still love to play with wires and tubing.
