Mourning Maybe reddit can help, my void wont stop chewing on my electronics. He's caused thousands of dollars in damages. What do I do?

His name is Gibbous btw and he is why I can't have nice things.

How do I stop this behavior :(

It's cause he knows the electronics distract you from giving him all of your attention šŸ˜…

This is some or all of the answer to why. Same reason mine chomps me if I donā€™t pay her enough attention.

Mine walks up to me in the bed and just slams my phone down out of my hands

Mine chews the corners of my phone and laptop whenever Iā€™m on itā€¦ I didnā€™t know what OP is showing could happen.šŸ˜­ Granted he only does it for a second and only if Iā€™m using them

This!

Iā€™m so disturbed reading the answers like ā€œuse really strong hairsprayā€ etcā€¦like this is so bad for the cat. All the cat wants is attention and the solution should be giving them attention.
