Brain training

What kind of games do you guys do for brain training your pets?
I’ve searched loads for cats but they’re just not enough for Moose. He’s apparently too smart for his own good :pac:
So far we have 3 puzzle feeders which he prefers to eating food from a bowl, a snuffle mat, and we do some simple trick training. Last night we started with hiding a treat under one of three cups, swapping them around and having him pick the one with the treat. By tonight he already has it mastered. He is highly highly food (dreamie) motivated so more food games would be great if anyone had any suggestions

Teach him how to give a high five and play dead when you pretend to shoot him! It's actually surprisingly easy, especially if they're a heroin fiend on the treats. Our boi comes over and gives high fives if he's bored now to chance his arm and engage us. It's hilariously sweet.

Don't feed dreamies too often though, they're 10% "inorganic matter"!

Brain training a cat? Never heard the like! My lot are already far too clever for their own good - and mine!
One of ,my Siamese used to blackmail me to get yeastvite by leaping on the cane bookcase I had then and threatening to claw it to pieces unless I

Never a user of treats..

He already does the high 5 but I must train him to play dead, that sounds like good fun the high 5 has kind of backfired though because he comes up and smacks my face when I’m eating dinner.
I do try and limit the dreamies to when I need to really motivate him, they really are like kitty craic.

Dreamies are scary! I was sent some in last year's Secret Santa and the effect they had.... I hid most of them and will keep them safe until they are maybe needed in a crisis...

My lot are wired enough without any help! Imagine OLIVER on them!
