Does anyone know of good toys for Bengals with biting issues?

My 1 and a half year old bengal mix Bubbles has serious issues with biting. She has cost me thousands of dollars chewing through multiple chargers, headphones, and even game consoles. I recently bought a crittercord (hasn't arrived yet) but I know once she is unable to chew through wires she will bite people (she already does this anyhow, it will just be exacerbated). I try to play with her all the time but she simply isn't interested in a majority of toys (unless she can bite them).

Any ideas of a good toy that will satisfy her need to chew/bite and will also give her a sufficient amount of exercise? PLEASE HELP!

Holy Cats! I have to congratulate you for hanging in there with this girl! From what I understand of Bengals, they are very active and "intense" cats. Have you ever considered adding another so they could amuse each other? I've noticed that Izzie will chew when he's bored or wants attention. Has Bubbles seen the vet for these biting/chewing issues? Biting people should NOT be tolerated. A vet can give you pointers or even refer you to a bahviorist to find out why your cat is so orally fixated. I don't know of any chew toys made for cats like the ones made for dogs, but I did hear somewhere that some of the chew toys made for dogs are OK for cats. I would caution against the rawhide ones, though, as when they become wet they break or tear off and can become lodged in the animal's throat. Good luck!
