Didn't phase my Maine Coon, but I suppose they could be in for a shocking experience if they hit it just right!

I thought you meant your cat bit the little hose on the p10... that's not heated, even if you have a heated hose from the xpap, it stops at the short hose connector

I think if I remember right she told me the kitty nailed the heated hose the first or second day. She already had the duct tape on it and had already ordered another heated hose.
The short hose was the second attack on the hose.
Bad kitty.

Pugsy's right (as usual ) She got the ClimateLine the first week so I patched it and ordered a cover. Night before last she attacked the short hose, which will have a cover of its own shortly...

is your cat not getting enough tubing in her diet?

is she hose deficient?

do they offer kitty vitamins for that? perhaps you should check!!!

Believe it or not, cats can become jealous. Anything that means less attention or food for them can cause jealous behavior, whether it’s a new animal or even a new baby in the home. The jealousy could result in inappropriate urination, aggression or even anorexia.

Wouldn't take this happening more than once here, and the cat wouldn't be sleeping in the bedroom. I assume that this must be happening at night, or the OP would have simply put the tubing in a drawer or closet during the day? Maybe we're talking about a studio apartment with no bedroom? More information would be really helpful here *smile*.

The most obvious answer is the simplest. Make sure cat and tubing are never in the same room.

(The exception being as mentioned above, if you have a one room studio apt and there is no means of keeping cat away from sleeping zone. Then a combo of putting away tubing during the day and keeping cat crated at night should do the trick. Unless your funds are limitless...)

An unhappily crated kitty can be quite LOUD!

Indeed! Having traveled with one or two in my lifetime, crating is not something I would subject either of us to for extended periods.

Having a friend make a lightweight cozy for the short hose this week, should resolve the issue.

Maine coons are basically cat tanks, it takes alot to phase them.

I bought an eight foot hose cover for under ten dollars online(Snugglehose I think). It covers everything and still allows the mask to detach for midnight strolls. one drop of eucalyptus oil or dotted around should discourage chewing,just don't get in your eyes.Scrunch the extra cover up toward the mask, thick and wrinkled polar fleece can't have a good mouth feel. I'll bet biting on the hose makes a sound like cellophane, irresistible to casts.

Did your snuggle hose keep your cat from biting the hose?
