* Feline Perspective: My fellow felines, have you ever found yourself drawn to the intriguing textures and dangling motions of those human electrical appendages? It is not merely a matter of idle chewing, though some of us find it quite satisfying. We are naturally curious creatures, and we explore our environment through a variety of sensory experiences, including chewing. It can also be a way of relieving boredom or anxiety.
