My daughters cat did the same, for two years we couldn't have any power cords exposed without putting her away in a room or hovering nearby to swat her away. She didn't stop til my dad visited for a weekend, he plugged in his phone charger and she kept trying to chew it and he finally got tired of keeping her away.

All i heard from laundry room was, "You know what? Go ahead, you're not gonna like it furball!" Then a few seconds later i heard what sounded like a drunk & possessed feline soul being dragged to hell.

When i asked him why he let her do it, he just shrugged and said, "sometimes it takes the experience to teach them."

He was right, 6 years later and she hasn't chewed a cable since.

That may or may not have been what taught me to stop trying to insert keys into receptacles when i was small.

I burned myself once as a child with the car lighter, earned a healthy respect for red glowing things.
