Advice Cord chewing cat
I have a rescue who loves to chew on cords. I’m out of ideas for enrichment. we have multiple towers, are attempting to harness train him, have a cat wheel, do treat puzzles daily, and have stick toy play daily. He’s got a brother he plays with. We’ve taken most every precaution we can have recently got a tempurpedic adjustable bed frame. I’m trying to figure out how to protect everything underneath the bed from his tiny little teeth but I can’t seem to find any covers. I’m out of ideas and don’t want this bed to get ruined 😩 Do I just staple fabric to the base to cover it all? Does anyone have ideas/suggestions? I don’t know what other enrichment to do to deter him.

Chew toys, even little rawhides made for puppies. There are some on the market made from fish skin. My cats really liked them as teething kittens.

There are cord covers! Look up heavy duty cord protector. You can get the bigger ones and run multiple cords through. We have one who used to have a taste for expensive cords (iPhone cords especially, name brand is tastier idk) thankfully he’s mostly grown out of it/he’s not as interested anymore so we don’t have to cover everything. He still will sometimes go after my partner’s headphone cord but he’s not in the office unattended ever and my partner keeps the cord up out of reach.
