TranscriptionA Twitter post by Dana Schwartz @DanaSchwartzzz that reads Whenever I scold my cat, I use the royal we" so she doesn't feel so ashamed. “We don't eat that. We don't chew on electrical cords," I say. It's as if I, too, have a problem with eating wires or plastic I found on the floor and she and I are working on that problem together.

I just want to know how to make them stop with the cable chewing. I've repaired or replaced so many electronic cords. I'm losing my mind.

I'm learning that I am not a cat person.

Give them something better to chew on. We have flowers growing outside most of the year, so our cats get wildflowers to chew on

Yeah my house plants are also victims in this situation. They literally destroy everything I love.

I tried putting chili oil on the cables and now I'm convinced that my cats could eat the most potent of Indian food and remain unscathed.

I think they crave it now...
