This is a lot going on! If she is getting scared near the cats, it is probably best to not bring her around them until she is more comfortable so that you don't get bitten and it doesn't stress her out even more. Making sure she is kept somewhere where the cats can't get to her cage and she can rest and relax is also a good idea. The nibbling or chewing sound could be a beak grinding sound, which can sometimes indicate the bird is attempting to rest and relax. If she's otherwise acting healthy and eating without bringing up food I wouldn't be worried unless it appears to be causing her stress or discomfort- in which case a vet visit is always best. If she's not yet comfortable with you, you can also start to gain trust by offering her a favorite treat every time you visit the cage. You may have to start with just tossing it in, then work up to handing it to her, and then petting and handling her from there. If she gets startled or is too nervous, take a break and try again later or go back to a previous step.
