Thread: Chewing - do they grow out of it?

I know my 6 month Maine Coon chews everything, mainly my hand and fingers though. He doesn't hurt, but that might change when he gets bigger!

My Ally loves to lick and chew plastic bags and packaging. I'm always finding needle holes in things. He never eats it just chews. Finn is a chewer the same but not a licker and Mitch and Keeps are both lickers. Ages ranging from 5 and a half years to eight years so it could be a lifelong thing:-))

Thanks so much for all your replies.

Looks as if it's very much a common breed characteristic and likely he may well not grow out of it - ho hum!

Ah well, designated cardbox box now installed in the living room so hoping we can discourage random chewing - gotta love 'em
