My cat only likes toys with some type of string but then he chews thru them and won’t play with them anymore. What type of toys would be best?
There are plastic toys that are long/string like that may be a little more robust for Chevy to play with. Laser pointers may also simulate something on a string that he can safely chase. If he does like things with string on them, I would just make sure to monitor him while playing to ensure he doesn't eat any string and so you can discard the toy if he chews a piece off.

my cat is about 21 months old and has chewed up most of the electrical wires in the house we have covered them all with protective tubing but he stills loves to chew. I believe he is a belanise cat. what is a safe chew toy that I can get him. he is v
Jasper sounds like quite a character! I do recommend obviously to be VERY careful regarding chewing electrical cords. Many pets lose their lives each year due to chewing cords that are plugged in! Make sure to always replace tubes/keep them covered/keep them in areas that Jasper cannot access. You may even have a Jasper-proof room where he gets shut in any time you are not home to watch him. This is certainly a good safety measure. There are many toys options out there and I think KONG has a few that are aimed at cats who like to chew. Some even have tasty little treats that you can put in them, some have cat nip in them and I think he would have a lot of fun. It is important for you to remove any strings or movable pieces off the toys before you give it to him so that he doesn't swallow them. Also check the toys regularly for any pieces breaking off that he could swallow as this is a risk for intestinal blockage. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional ques

My cat has been biting and scratching and bounding off the walls what can I do to handle the situation properly
This behavior is not unusual for a kitten Hermit's age but you should try to address it. It's possible he is bored and so is inventing his own games. Try meeting his instinctual needs and providing some new stimulation. Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Use a Feliway diffuser and set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play (really get him moving). During the play time, if he seems like he wants to play rough, try to encourage him to wrestle with a stuffed animal. Try feeding him out of a food puzzle. Hide food for him to find. Provide a stand or resting place by a window so he can look outside. You may also try clicker training him for positive behavior. Here is a link about training cats: https://www.petcoach.co/article/can-i-train-my-cat/ Most cats response best to combination therapy. The veterinarian can also prescribe medications which can help with bad behaviors. I hope this helps an

I am stressed out I know it’s just a animal but I didn’t know she would be such a handful the other two cats I had weren’t as bad. How else can I enrich her environment since I do have to leave her alone sometimes. She always is nipping me for no re
A complete physical exam and lab work may diagnose any underlying medical condition or nutritional deficiency. If she is eating a good quality can or dry food, she is likely getting enough nutrients. Pet-tabs FF (Feline Formula) or Pet-Tabs Daily Vitamin-Mineral Supplement for Cats are options for vitamins. You can buy either from your veterinarian, online or in the local Petco. Increase playtime if possible and incorporate "automatic" toys as well as a variety of toys to keep her engaged. Correct any nipping immediately. If she stops, praise her. If she persists, stop all interaction and ignore her until she settles down. This may mean leaving the room or placing her in a different room. A pheromone product, such as Feliway Spray or plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety or aggression.
