I find the squirt bottle to be a fantastic method of training cats - it doesn't
hurt them at all, and it makes you feel great, especially when they've done
something incredibly bad! I'm glad to hear someone else uses this method. In
fact, I often use it on my significant other (realizing he knows how to squeeze
that trigger, too!)

You could try getting a squirt bottle, filling it with water, keep it on the
stream, not spray, setting, and everytime the cat starts to chew a string
BAM! you squirt her. Set her up, you know, wait for her purposely and
squirt her. My cats learned about a lot of things that way. Plus it
doesn't hurt them, they just hate it.

Hope that works. Try not to hit the harp with the water though...
