Our 4 month old kitten is obsessed with chewing on cables. We hide them as much as we can, but both my husband and I are IT professionals and we just have a lot of cables. We generally don't let her around cables unsupervised, but if she's in the room while we're working she'll start messing with them sooner or later (despite the gazillion toys we have in here for her).
We've tried spraying them with the bitter stuff you get at pet stores, but she doesn't mind it and just keeps on chewing. At this point we can't even get her to let go of the cables once she starts, without physically moving her. She doesn't really react to squirt bottles or loud noises.
At some point she managed to chew clean through a headphone cable (not sure how or when, I was keeping an eye on her at the time!), and has also ruined a phone charger cable just between the time she got to it and the time we could pull her off it.
Any tips at all greatly appreciated....thanks!!
