My name is Laura, and if youβve ever come home to find your cat chewing on cords, scratching furniture, or acting anxious for no reasonβ¦
I know exactly how you feel.
For months, my 8-year-old tabby, Milo, was driving me crazy β and breaking my heart at the same time.
He started chewing random things β blankets, shoelaces, even the corner of my couch.
Heβd get these bursts of wild energy, then hide under the bed for hours.
Nothing I did seemed to calm him down.
I tried new toys, scratching posts, treats⦠even those expensive catnip sprays.
But nothing worked.
Then one night, I caught him chewing on a plastic pen cap β and I panicked.
All I could think was, βWhat if he swallows this?β
That was the night I realized something deeper was wrong.
Something no one ever talks about.
