I just did it with a paper towel. And I've only ever done it once to any given cord. Once the cat tries to chew the thing, it will immediately stop and think "well that was just
awful", and never try again. Or at least, that's my cat. I've also heard people using a combination of lemon juice and hot red pepper flakes, but lemon juice by itself worked for me. Fortunately, with my cat, he decided that he really likes chewing the little velcro thing on my laptop cord that you use to wrap it up, so I just sacrificed that to him.
I should also say that it's basically impossible to predict what cables they want to chew and which ones they don't care about, but apple chargers seem to be favourites.
For cleaning furniture, I suggest you buy this brush immediately.

It is
amazingly effective at getting fur off of all upholstered surfaces. If you have hardwood floors, I would also suggest getting a Roomba (or similar). Running it a few times a week will collect a lot of random loose fur that's just floating around, and greatly reduce your effort.
