I have a very curious approximately 6 month old kitten. He has within the last week started chewing on my computer AND all my cords. IDK if he is teething, or acting out, or what! I don't know how to make him stop or how to protect my stuff.
I have an almost 2 year old cat who frequently chases him and wrestles.Is this the only kitten / cat you have? Bored cats of any age will do things out of boredom, including chewing on cords and other things. How often do you play with your kitten? Can you add more playtime daily or do longer sessions? Many people will suggest adding another kitten but depending on your living situation, etc a second kitten may not be feasible.
6 month old kittens are also losing their baby teeth so they may chew to relieve minor discomfort. You can offer cat dental chew toys for your kitten to chew on. Petstages makes some (all can be bought at any pet store and most popular web sites like Amazon):
