Why is my cat chewing cardboard and how can I prevent this behavior?

Cats may chew on cardboard due to boredom, curiOSity, or dental issues. To prevent this behavior, provide your cat with appropriate chew toys, engage in interactive play, and ensure they have a balanced diet. Additionally, you can try using deterrent sprays or covering cardboard with double-sided tape to discourage chewing. If the behavior persists, consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.
