I know a pro animal handler.(Sorry i don't know the American word for this).You need to make a very little cage of 4 metal net (Or sort of, maybe you can get green plasticnet) walls. Put it on the grass or in the seller, at least in an solitary place. Cats are social animals. If you see it go eating away at your wires you give it a time out (20 min should work). The cage shall be only big enough for the cat to just about move around and no food or toys in there. Everytime it chews it comes 20 minutes into this cage and you move away for the 20 minutes (use a clock). Soon it will associate the wires with 20 minutes in a cage where it bores it self to death ( well maybe not death but you get the idea). This is a recognized way of correcting behavior even on small people not yet grown up.( Without the cage !)
It works amazingly. It can take more time than say a rabbit or dog but it will work if you keep doing it. Be sure that it has enough food (not in the case). If you after the 20 minutes gives it a treat then DONT do this the first many times. You can however give it a good kind rub the way it likes it.
I love cat's. I'm allergic to the hairs. I feel let down by the higher powers....

Good sarcasm. My pup is at the vet getting monitored to make sure the E-collar she ate isn't doing damage. Ironic. Put the collar on her to keep her from chewing a bandage on her leg and she eats the e-collar. :hissy:
