How much cayene pepper should I add to how much water? I don't want to make it too weak to stop him but I also don't want to make it unnecessarily strong. I think cats are lactose intolerant so milk might not help. Maybe plain yogurt? However, this cat won't eat anything other than dry cat food. Maybe the smell alone will stop him from trying to chew on the cord. That would be the best outcome.Anyway, thanks again for all of your help!
