Chewing toys for cats....

Hey everyone. For the past couple of weeks that Momo (6 years old and first ever cat of mine) has been adjusting slowly but progressively every day, he's now comfortable enough to explore my room (which he has set as his safe room) and some parts of the house on his own. Though what I've been noticing is that he loves chewing on cords, mainly when I'm asleep, which is worse since I can't stop him right there and then. He's nearly chewed through my cellphone charger. I've now tucked them more discreetly but he still looks for something to chew at night. I made some ridged cardboard tubes and bought him a toy, but he gets tired of them easily and doesn't like to play with them at night. Do you guys have any recommendations for chew toys or something that's safe to chew on that's cord like without having to worry about him. 

Usually teething kittens and young cats are prone to over chewing. Has Momo been thoroughly checked by a vet?

In the mean time, use cord protectors for the cords you can't hide. Provide him with dental health chew toys ( I read that dipping them in tuna juice will keep kitty busy  )  Add other "entertainment". Momo could just be bored at night. Cardboard boxes, puzzle cat toys, balls with a bell inside, etc. are some I can think of.

He's having his first vet visit tomorrow, so I'll be sure to ask his to double check his teeth and gums as for many many other things. As for toys I haven't gotten him much since he's a rather shy boy and spends most of the day under the bed. So I'm not sure exactly what to get him, though when he is out and about I do play with him with laser pointers, catnip balls but he gets bored with them easily. I even made cardboard ridged tubes that he can throw around and scratch with and many boxes that I cut out holes through. My guess is that he's probably just "exploring" in his own way, though I will look into the dental chew toys.
