Your cat does not know any better, it does not understand what it can and cannot chew on in your home. A cat, when it has the urge to chew on something, will look for interesting things to play with a give a little nibble on and unfortunately, wires/cords that are found on electrical appliances and other electronics, seem to attract a cat.

The rubber coating used over the wires is usually the culprit, a cat likes to chew on them because it is durable and a cat can really sink its teeth into it, so mission accomplished… until your cat sees your response to it.

There are tubes you can buy that can securely wrap around your exposed cords and this is a great deterrent for your cat, as it will lose interest and move onto the next chewable thing.
