Wrong sub?

I think it depends on if she'll learn to associate all charging cables with fun, or if she can learn that this particular charging cable is for fun, or that this location specifically is for fun. If you can keep her from generalizing, then I'd say maybe just sacrifice a cable and put it where she can play with it (maybe put it at the end of a stick for play time)...

Otherwise, I think you need to not encourage play with anything cable-like and find alternative ways to keep her attention; and that's really just trial-and-error to see what she likes to play with.

Haha I thought she fit the bill for an amateur dental hygienist (thus a cat with a job) but I apologize if this was the wrong sub. She has some ultra white chompers for sure.

Yea I tossed the chargers with the cloth texture and she hasn’t gone for the plasticish ones so far. I just feel bad for taking away something she liked to do.

Well, from your pictures, it looks like she's managing the loss quite well.

This cat looks like it just invented extreme dental care

My cat does the complete opposite. She eats the regular wires for charging, but won’t touch the cloth covered ones that look like paracord.
