My cat likes to chew on cardboard boxes. He full on chews hard on them and rips it apart. Is this normal? Should I be concerned with teeth problems?

I doubt cardboard could hurt a cat’s teeth, but it could be a problem if he is ingesting a lot of it. If he’s eating the cardboard I would discourage this behavior, otherwise it’s fine to let him to continue.
