I've had cats who were declawed and ones who weren't, but biting/chewing doesn't seem to have a link with either. One way to reduce chewin on people and items is to use a spray like bitter apple. Start with a small bottle or a free sample first though, some animals like the taste (like some ferrets I know). There are other bitter sprays, like "Phooey", which I can taste in the air when I get to generous with the spray, but it's kept my kitties from chewing on plants, and kept the conure from chewing on the blinds. Also, I've known people with nippy ferrets who will spray chew-stop on their hands, ankles, and/or toes before handling the fuzzy beasts. Once chomp or nip, during the first few encounters after using the spray, and most of the time, they "cure" themselves of the problem.
I had read that you had tried new cats, but what about swapping them out? For many animals it helps to put different toys out in cycles. Have one set washed, or put aside for awhile until they get "bored" with the the current set. Then switch them out. Enrichment items (like catnip inside a empty tissue box) that you can get creative with can also help to distract. I recently came upon a new toy that helped "wear out" my 6 month old kitty when she starts being a punk. It's a cone shape toy that you place on a shelf or table or floor, flip a switch, and a laser dot does circles on the floor. It's just regular circles, but it stops at random spots every 30 seconds or so. And, best of all, it shuts itself off after 15 minutes. After a session, Keesa is usually ready to chill out, have a snack, or play nicely.
Anyway, I hope some of these ideas can help you out. It's good to here your kitty is obviously healthy, and very active. She's just a bit, too active for her own good sometimes. Good luck!
