cats have gone crazy! they have started to eat the teats of my daughters cups + bottles ..they are nearly 3?

they have never done this before. i leave milk in their bowl but they dont drink it.
anyone have any ideas how i can stop this behaviour?
or why they may be doing this? its costing a fortune and driving me nuts not to mention how upset my daughter is getting coz they have ruined her favorite cup
Answers:
hi maybe you can go shopping for your cats , try those yellow rubber ducks(tub toys) each one will want it's own oh remember to make them think you don't want them to have them at first:)
You need to make sure you remove the teats away from the cats they may just be associating it with their mothers nipple or its just a new toy to them so remove them how old is your daughter because if she is over 14 months she could come of the bottles and use normal cups or a child cup with no teats good luck
Milk isn't the best thing for cats as they are lactose intolerant and will give them diarrhoea. Is your daughter very young? they maybe craving attention as ur spending alot of time with her and not as much time as you used to before with them. a quick fix to the problem would be to put the cups and teats in a place that's not reachable by the cats, and when the cats grab the teats/cups to take them off before they damage them

Keep the bottles and stuff in the cabinet where they can't get to them. Cats chew on stuff sometimes especially since the bottles smell like milk. I think the rubber may feel good on their gums. Get them some chew toys.
I keep a "Bad Kitty" spray bottle of water set on stream and when I she her doing something she shouldn't I spray. "Not cruel" she stops what she was doing and goes on it worked well for me we have two birds that stay in her reach and dont have a problem . Now just don't let your daughter get a hold of the spray bottle
