An electrical cord pet-biting deterrent system includes a plug structure and a cable structure connected to and extending from the plug structure. The plug structure including a housing, a circuit board, and a power source. The housing having a pair of non-conductive prongs extending from a surface thereof which are configured to insert into a wall socket without drawing electrical power from the wall socket. The circuit board disposed within the housing and including a movement detector, a microcontroller, and a transistor. The cable structure including a central cord and a plurality of external conductive wires wrapped helically around the central cord. The movement detector being configured to detect mechanical vibrations of the cable structure and send a signal to the microcontroller upon detection of such mechanical vibrations. The microcontroller configured to actuate the transistor to electrically couple the power source to at least one of the plurality of external conductive wires for a predetermined duration to deliver an electrical stimulus through the external conductive wires.
