When outdoor time is limited — due to weather, space, or your busy schedule — indoor games can save the day. High-energy pets need stimulation not just to burn off energy, but to stay mentally balanced and happy. 🧠💥

1. Hide-and-Seek (Yes, really!)

• Start by hiding behind a door or couch and calling your pet
• Reward them with treats or praise when they find you
• Great for building trust and recall skills

2. Puzzle Feeders & Treat Toys 🍖

• Use toys like KONGs, lick mats, or interactive treat dispensers
• Encourages focus and slows down fast eaters
• Mental exercise is just as tiring as physical!

3. DIY Obstacle Course 🧩

• Use pillows, boxes, and broomsticks to create tunnels or hurdles
• Lead them through with a treat or toy
• Perfect for apartments and rainy days

4. Tug-of-War or Fetch (Hallway Edition)

• Use a sturdy rope toy or soft indoor-safe ball
• Short distances can still offer great bursts of energy

5. Laser Pointer or Feather Wand (for Cats)

• Encourages instinctive chasing and pouncing
• Always let them "catch" something in the end to avoid frustration

It doesn’t take a big backyard to beat boredom. Just a little imagination (and a few toys) can turn your living room into a playground. 🛋️🎯
