Thanks for the tip Terry. We tried some special stuff that was supposed to discourage this and it didn't work.

I tried the specialty stuff too. The cats and dogs loved it The only things I’ve ever found that worked was solid antiperspirant.

Our cat would eat that jumper wire in no time flat. He recently developed a taste for the battery back up for our sump pump, and not too long ago caused my TiVo network switch to vomit because of a tasty (ahem) Cat6 cable.
I dont think heat is a big player - I had an iPhone 3s that did it a long time ago and it was not in a case or enclosed - I just went to the apple store yesterday and they replaced my backup iPhone 6 plus for the cost of a new battery (29 bucks). It was just sitting on my deck in an apple charging stand - the side popped open about a 1/4 inch. That is what got me wondering about the mounted IPAD.

I see you your cat and raise you my bunny... So far we've learned he likes to chew on paper, carpet, mats, wicker, wood, wood furniture, ceramic, Pyrex, metal, glass (how does he think he can get the window in his mouth???), and even bricks. And, of course, wires.
Back to the original post, I wonder if there is some way to aid in dissipating the heat rather than going the route of turning off the charger?
