For example, I bought a little tunnel from Canadian Tire and she's in there ALL the time. I'll post pics later.
I finally caved and bought the puzzle box. You're supposed to put balls in it, and the cat tries to hunt them out. Well Minion got out the balls that came with it in about 2 minutes. (I'll try rollier ones next time.) Since she and Haley are both highly-food-motivated I put in her daily tooth-cleaning crunchies instead, and that took her more time to get through.
But now I alternate, and some days put Haley's tooth crunchies in it. Haley's not a dumb cat, but Minion seems to be above-average in intelligence, so it took Haley a little longer to get the right paw technique down. But she seems to have the hang of it.
Why do I torture my kitties so? Well I figure an indoor cat needs her share of challenges, if only to fend off dementia. Plus they eat slower! (Which doesn't stop Haley from puking up her meal anyway. She has the tiniest stomach! But hey, at least the meal is easier to catch the second time round.)
