Cat Games

The subject of cat games can vary depending on what you’re looking for – puzzle toys for cats, cat games for girls, interactive games for cats and more. This page puts all of that great cat stuff together in one place.

Puzzle Toys for Cats

One interactive cat game option for food motivated cats is puzzle toys—and these do not have to be limited to just games marketed for cats. Dog puzzle toys can also be a good source of entertainment and exercise for a cat. These dog and cat games encourage cats to solve puzzles by rewarding them with a treat for their efforts. A cat puzzle feeder gives the added benefit of nudging your kitty to burn a few calories before enjoying a snack. Check out the list below of some of these interactive cat toys. I’ve included pictures and a few links to our video reviews of some of these games in action so you can see what they look like.  Do you have experience with puzzle toys for cats? I would love to hear how your cats liked them, so please feel free to share your own experiences in the comments section below.

Free Cat Games

There are also videos on YouTube that double as cat games. Of course, if you have a tablet or an iPad it would be ideal to play these videos and then set the tablet on the ground for your kitty to have some fun. Unless you have a good screen protector or a perfectly trained cat, I am not so sure I would run the video on a laptop or desktop as I would think that would result in a scratched screen. One fun, interactive option is the Laser Chaser video. If you have a screen that a cat can safely paw—particularly a bigger screen—you can put this video in front of your cat and let them enjoy almost five minutes of following a laser point around the screen. The video also features ambient noises with volume designed specifically for cats’ hearing (so make sure to turn the volume all the way up). The noises include birds chirping, a cat meowing, and a little bit of lively instrumental music—so you might find listening to it enjoyable as well. I would love to hear from you about your own experiences with various pet games your cat has enjoyed. What cat games do you or your kids enjoy? What cat games does your cat enjoy?

    Wow! Great information, Jenny! Thank you so much! Hmmmmm. I think I’m going to need to try and get a puzzle toy for Miss Pink Sugarbelle. We’ve never had any puzzle toys in the house but we do give her treats now and then and she might enjoy hunting them down with those puzzle toys.

    Don’t have any kids at home (anymore) but those games look fun! Might be something for some grandkids one day…. (have to get some grandkids first…lol) So many interactive apps, too. Something to really think about that’s for sure.

    Miss Pink Sugarbelle does enjoy watching nature videos of birds, ducks and squirrels on both my hubby’s and my desktops. I don’t feel comfortable letting her get near my tablet with her claws even with a good screen protector. Although she has never tried to claw at our desktop displays either. She always keeps her claws sheathed if she touches our displays so I may be worrying over nothing with my tablet. Have to think about that a bit more.

    She’s definitely an interactive kitty who prefers to have a partner when it’s playtime so you’ve provided me some interesting choices to investigate!

    Big hugs!

    Patti & Miss Pink Sugarbelle 🙂 <3

    1. Cool, Patti – please let me know if Miss Pink Sugarbelle likes any new game ideas.
