So Aleyas newest trait is chewing my kitchen chairs, not the wood just the cushion part, its like a fake leather material. I have also noticed a few holes in my storage bench with the same material. This is beyond frustrating and I have no idea what to do. I never see her near the table or chewing the bench so I am assuming she does this while I am not home or away.

What can I do? Anything I can put on them to make her stop, that tastes bad?

I just tried putting towels on my chairs for now but she just pulls them off like its a game.

Please help!! I'm am so angry with this new behavior... Nothing has changed in her environment or routines. So I have no idea why she would even begin doing this after having her here for 5 months already.

Thank you, anything suggestions or stories and tips will be greatly appreciated.

Ok firstly you can buy bitter sprays to put on furniture to stop them chewing so you might want to look into that.
Also something like a feliway plug in may help in the environment it's happening in.

Then I would provide something she can chew, depending on how old she is there could still be a possibility of cutting new teeth if under a year old.

Cats love having a go at cardboard items, or even a I puppy teething toy.....get a load of different things and let her be directed away from what you don't want chewing.

Sorry, but I just don't understand your frustration.
What did you expect with Bengal? A lovely spotty cat that will benefit your interior??
Cats do scratch and chew and pee etc
If this frustrates you, then do not get a cat.

Cats are just known for changing their habits and what they do. We've had plants in a greenhouse window for the year we've had Raiden and he's never wanted to get up there. Now, he does and we come home and find the plants tipped over, tossed on the counter or in the kitchen sink. This behavior just started! I'll be working on breaking him of that. He has so many other areas he can climb. Thankfully, he doesn't eat the plants. He just knocks them over.

I'm sure it's not good for a cat to chew furniture. I can understand their wanting to scratch the furniture. I hope what you've bought does the trick. If your kitty is actually EATING the stuff, it's probably not good for him. Good luck!
