Unlike dogs, who are natural chewers, cats don’t have the same urge to chow down on anything – and everything – they can find. However, all cats are individuals and it may be that your cat actually enjoys chewing.  Cats also use their mouth to explore things, leading to chewing. However, chewing can become an undesirable habit for cats, and can actually indicate there’s something not quite right. If your cat suddenly starts chewing or increases their chewing habit, it could be that they have problems with their teeth. Nutritional issues can also lead to chewing, as can obsessive compulsive disorder. Or it could be a simple sign of boredom so if you're concerned about your cat’s chewing habit, consult your vet.\r
