1
Purchase a cat toy with feathers or strings attached to the end of a long, plastic stick. Start by moving the toy along the floor, then flick the toy up to get your cat to stretch and jump to catch it.

2
Run the cat toy up and down the stairs. This will get the cat to run and climb (and you'll be giving yourself a little exercise as well). Or drag the toy along back of the sofa or a chair.
