Kittens in particular are very curious and play with everything that comes in their way. Remember that they are inexperienced like toddlers and try everything at least once. Make your home as kitten-proof as possible. Problem Keep an eye on kittens when they are young and very inquisitive. Dangling cords are particular attracting to them and dangerous if chewed through. Electric shock can be the result. Solution ? Put something distasteful on the cord to discourage chewing ? Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, bitter apple/orange, orange/lemon peel, commercial repellents ? Gaffer’s tape (available in diy stores) will probably work if the substances don't ? Secure exposed cords ? Consider permanent wiring if you own your place
I know this sounds weird, but I put Vicks Vap-O-Rub on the wires in my place that my kitten was chewing on. She didn't care for the taste at all, and left them alone after that. I tried hot sauce first, but she seemed to like that stuff. LOL
As a cat breeder I have always faced the same problem with naughty kittens , and my for-ever remedy which always works is spraying perfume onto the wires and all this . Cats just hate the smell of perfumes so much as they rarely ever enclose to that wires anymore . I use the same method for preventing kittens and cats from peeing around . once a kitten pees somewhere out of the litter box they will return to the same place . by spraying perfume over there you actually prevent them from returning and peeing again . In your case I would say firstly put he different different perfumes in front of her nose and let her sniff them . just inspect on her and notice , which of them is the most unpleasant one to her . and then use the very same perfume for wires! I am pretty much sure this is gonna work for you . keep doing it for few weeks continuously , so she'll learn that those wired are not really nice!
