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 :(

This has worked wonders in our home. You don’t spray it in their face, but they hate the noise and smell and, this is the important part now, if you are consistent with the application of it, soon the cat will curb the behavior.

In our house, all we have to do is take the top off and the cats run like hell.

You can also get Ssscat motion detectors you could set up at night. I have to do that in my kitchen and on my desk sometimes when my void is feeling springy.

Yeah, I think this would help a lot along with the corner protectors someone else suggested.
