Entertain a Cat

It can be easy to entertain your cat, just as long as you don't panic too much.

Steps

 * 1) Get them off their butts! Cats can be playful pets at times, but why not always!  The best way to first get them off their lazy butts is to make a sound that will entice them to go to.[[Image:Entertain a Cat Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Then, you should get a crunchy material (paper, etc.) and get them interested in it.  You will know if their interested in it because if you move the item back and forth, the cat's gaze will follow the object.[[Image:Entertain a Cat Step 2.jpg|center]]

 * 5) Try other things. As a last resort, if your cat still isn't entertained yet, you should try using a laser light or just approaching the cat and rubbing their belly or tickling them.[[Image:Entertain a Cat Step 5.jpg|center]]
