Tape cords to the wall with electrical tape to help prevent her from gaining access to them. Stow excess lengths of cord behind furniture or appliances, hidden from her view. Cats are attracted to dangling cords and may think they are toys. Block access to visible cords by wrapping flexible safety cable (available at hardware stores) around them. Place contact paper, sticky side up, in the general area of electrical cords to discourage her from approaching them, Apply unpleasant-tasting substances to exposed cords. These could include bitter apple spray, hot-pepper sauce, menthol, toothpaste, mouthwash or lemon juice. Experiment with different flavors, since pets' taste aversions vary. Have favorite toys available to distract her from the cords, and rotate toys every few days to prevent boredom. Make sure she gets lots and lots of playtime and loving-on time from the two of you. And, you can also consult with you vet to see is she has any health issues that cause her to chew.

Oh Boy.... Sounds like me! Mom has had to use the cord protectors too and I would still get at them, so she started using electrical tape on all cords that showed anywhere at all. Something else you could try is to keep all of your computer equipment in a place locked up where she cant get to them, Like in a closed room. If you are in a one bedroom apartment like us, maybe one of those large computer armoires would work. Mom used to plug her cell phone in a closet too. We have very large, heavy furniture that I cannot climb under or around so mom chooses those areas to plug things in. Offer lots, and lots, and lots of toys all over and play with her often. Mom determined that I do most of my damage when she is not home (separation anxiety). When mom goes on vacation, I go to the kennel. Also maybe try Feliway, it may calm her down a bit. I wish you luck!
