Advice Understimulated cat

What games/toys make your cat so happy to play? My cat isn’t interested in a lot of toys but I still find he’s a little understimulated and just looking for new/fun things to do with him. He likes learning tricks but after working a long day, sometimes Im not feeling it. Any ideas?

If I'm worn out and don't have the energy to play with my boys I'll hide treats around the place and let them run around and find them. Extra credit if you have some cardboard boxes and packing paper to scatter treats in. Or treats in paper towel tubes.

They love it and it entertains them while I rest! haha

A play tunnel made a huge difference for my cat. The playtime has become much more fun now that he can run through it multiple times, get stuck in it, and stick his paws out to catch the wand toy. I’d look for the cheap one, because it also makes lovely rustle noise (check out IKEA UTSÅDD).

There are these disc guns you can get on Amazon. Ours go mad for it.

Box and packing paper like the other commentor said for sure.

My cats love a flirt pole with feathers. I had to play with my boy nightly as a kitten to wear him out!
