I've got a kitten who's less than a yr old that likes to gnaw through phone chargers, window fan wires, laptop cords, etc.

How can i fix this?

Also, my kitten always tips over his water bowl an soils my rugs. Rather likes to drink straight from the bathroom tub faucet (have to turn it on a lil so he can drink)

Suggestions?

a gun. or keep the light plugged in and when he eats it he will get electrocuted

Chad shutup lol

You could try putting foil on the cords that it goes after. When it bites into the foil it won't be back.

That's an idea, foil is also a conductor to electricity. My kitten is more than just my pet. He's my friend. At least i don't have to use the excuse i'm talking to the wall lol.

Someone mentioned Styrofoam, think that's how it's spelled. My cat loves tearing it up, not to mention any cardboard i have around the apartment. Just chews it into tiny sized pieces an leaves it on the floor scattered around.

My parents suggested using a newspaper on his rear but what when i'm at work? i need like a solid week to train him like that. I end up pulling cords before i goto work cuz im afraid he'll chew on a wire an hurt himself or cause seizures or worse

Thought about bringing in another kitty so he won't be bored an they can play all day, but one right now is enough work.

LOL landlord doesn't allow dogs, thanks for the troll post though...
and i live alone, i work 60 hr's a week, tell me when i'd be able to take him for walks an not leave me surprises in my apartment while im out?

PS: I edited your comment in my quote for you. Idk what a DOGE is unless you meant Dodge...

he posted get a DOGE not DOG

why did you edit it?

that is ur problem right there, kittens are driven by play time and attention, they need constant affection or they will find fun where they can.... really, your best option might be to get a Cat as well as your kitten... a 1+ year old cat copes faster and learns quicker and is more independent. The kitten will LOVE having a play time friend, and the older cat will keep him in check if he starts a fit.

You MUST remember this is a general statement, just like people, cats each have there own personalty. This idea of kittens is just something I've learned over time.

My cat loves to eat plastic, not just chew like alot of cats but FULLY eat the whole thing till she pukes it up. I've tried every thing, from spraying her, to treats when she avoids it, bitter apple (a taste spray that is extreamly bitter, most animals hate it), to even bating at her (not hitting here just moving her away fast so she is surprised) Honestly the only thing that works, is keep plastic hidden.... she is 13 now and to this day we say she uses her 'plastic radar' to 'hunt' and 'forage' for the all mighty and tasty PLASTIC. So some things can't be avoided sadly.

I the years i worked at an animal hospital i learned alot of tricks to teach things to pets, but some cats are just stubborn.
Alot of cats have satisfaction chewing on certan material.

Best of luck
