If you can lift the wires up where the cat can't reach them that would be the best way. Other ways are getting wire casing from a hardware store (those are hard and the cat won't be able to chew through them as quick) or you could try putting something like Cayenne Pepper on the wires. Cats usually don't like the taste and will stop but it won't hard your cat either

do not put any type of tape on the wires as it is non-toxic and is bad for hamsters. What I got from the pet store because my hamster was chewing on the bars is wood blocks. They chew on the wood blocks and it actually makes its teeth healthy and clean and is a good cure for your hamster to stop chewing on bars. You can get it from a nearby pet supply or pet store or online at Amazon.com

They like long-stringy things to play with. Just natural instincts from hunting those long-type stuff like snakes, earthworms, and such.

My cat did that too. Hide the electric cord. Keep it in places your cat can't get into. If your cat continues disclepine it by spraying it with water.

Stated simply, you can't. If your hamster is near any wires i would suggest you make sure he can not get to them. Wires can be lethal to any pet if if it is consumed.

Only to keep the wires away from them, you can't contro or teach a guinea pig anywhere near as much as you can a dog, they are like cats with strong personaities and they do as they will!

I would take my hamster to the vet. He could find out exactly what is going on. But to me, it sounds as if your hamster has a tumor in it's stomach. It can be very painful, and your hamster will stop eating, and it will stop using the restroom. But like I said, you should go talk to your local vet.
