| vinegar as deterent for chewing? I think I have found something that works for me when Kizzy starts chewing on things she isnt suppose to chew on or it has worked for me so far. I have a stack of different books and also I did put some cardboard boxes at the end of my sofa and tv on each end so she couldnt get behind things because she was so small when we got her. one night we heard her crying and couldnt find her. Well I finally found her. she had gotten behind our tv and the stand it is on is a glass case with the vcr and dvd player all in it and storage for cds and such. she had gotten behind it and got into the glass cabinet. she was so dark, and inside the cabinet was dark and made it too hard to see her. thats why I boxed out the sides of things so she couldnt do that. well now she tries to chew on the boxes and also my stack of books. I took a paper towel soaked with plain vinegar and wiped the boxes and the edges of the books where she chewed. first time she went back to them and sniffed it she left and so far she hasnt bothered any of them again. So i'm not saying its gonna keep her from doing it again ever, but i'm saying she dont like the smell of the pure vinegar enough to go back so far. So try different things and see what you might come up with that works for you, thats what I do and that was a very inexpensive idea if it keeps on working. But for a few days its worked for me. I also wiped around the tops of my artificial plant baskets with it and she hasnt bothered those again and that was several weeks ago. Just a tip I feel like is working. If it soon quits working as the vinegar smell will soon probably leave it , I will just rewipe it all and see if it helps again. as long as it works I'll try it. I just try to keep things put up like I did with my babies that she cant have and give her lots of toys and things to play with. Also I wiped the fringed edges of my throw rug and so far so good. And it doesnt smell up my house. But probably would if I soaked something in it but just wiping it down we dont smell it. I posted this in another post but i'm not sure if thats where it should of been.
