My cat is chewing on doors. HELP!

[darwin0915]

So recently my little fur ball has started chewing and clawing at my door when it's closed. He wants every door open all the time even if he doesn't want to be in the room with you. It is so bad now, he does it when I'm in the bathroom! Just a minute ago I watched him trying to chew the bathroom cabinet door because he couldn't get it open. He is destroying my door and door frame. Anyone know how to stop this other than not closing my door?

He may be bored. Are you giving your cat plenty of play time? Try playing with your cat a few times a day for about 15 minutes each time. Interactive toys like fishing pole toys are great. Is getting another cat an option? Some cats prefer to play with another cat in addition to getting play time from you.

My one year old cat does this too. Seemingly for attention. We have another cat in the house too-- his brother-- so how bored can he be?

Have you tried Grannick's bitter Apple spray? It works for some
People. You can play with him more. You can try Feliway pheromone plug-in (this is what I am trying now to see if it calms him down).

Good luck to you and if you find a solution, let me know !!
