I keep Bastet as a totally indoors cat. Some people think I am mad but I don't want her getting hurt in the outside world. She is an aby so boredom is a big issue.
Boxes with holes cut in them are great! She loves boxes and they keep her entertained. I also have a box as her *toy box* with a easily openable lid for her - what I do is put her toys in there (while she is watching) and she has to open the box to get them out.
I also grab things from the garden that are clean - new smelly things i call them - things like leaves (non toxic of course) and clean feathers make great toys. I scatter them around the house and in hidey holes - that are cat friendly and obvious.
Also i have a kitty ball that contains some dried food. They have to roll it to get the food out. Thats entertaining.
I also close one door at a time during the day so the room that she can't get into is *all new * for her. I then place kitty toys in there as well so when I open the door in the evening she thinks its a whole new adventure.
Hide the snack is a great one as well. Instead of feeding strictly from a bowl - hide little piles of food around.
Fish on a string - You tightly place a catnip ball or mousie on a string and hang it really high. Bastet loves that! When she gets bored with it I change the *worm*.
I have a few more if you need them but these are the most popular past times for bastet anyway.
