Are cats lazy? Well, then there is more power to them if they really are. Who has not entertained the dream of doing just as he likes, when and how he likes, and as much as he likes? says Fernand Mary

Being extremely lazy, sleeping away throughout the day, eating, and doing nothing, is a typical cat. But when they do get energetic, they have a sudden burst of energy, but Alas! That lasts only for a fraction of a minute and lo! Here they are snoring away.

However, there are a few strategies, or you can say tricks hey that will help you keep the Kitty of yours active and full of energy. Here they are –
1.Bring toys
Cats tend to be a bit aloof. Best of all, the tricks are to bring them plenty of toys. Toys encourage cats to play with them. They can keep their mind active by shuffling them, trampling on them, chewing, or throwing them around. The pet owner can also play with the cat by hiding the toys and encouraging the cat to find them. Simple toys like ping pong balls or pipe cleaners will work wonders.

2. Trick o' Treat
Reminded me of Halloween, anybody! It is for those cute, fat, little, lazy bones purring away softly in that teeny-weeny box. Cats love food, especially sweet treats. Fool them by hiding treats all around the house and make them look across to find them. It is one of the fun ways to keep them active. Though it sounds very mean, it's fun; it's the only time to see the cats move their butts to run.
3. Kitty on Leash
Cats are tough to the leash. Bring proper equipment and try to leash your cat. Let the cat play with the leash and drag or chew it for a few days. Once it gets familiar with the whole equipment, you can put the harness around the cat's neck and prompt them to go on walks. It may take a week or two to get your cat moving and comfortable. Take your cat for a guided walk around a park or your building or wherever she would love to go.
4. Fun with laser and wand
You must have surely seen a funny video of a laser beam pointing at a cat, and the cat is trying to move faster to catch hold of the beam or the spot of the laser as if it is some toy. It is quite a tickling video, but then it is an excellent exercise for your cat as you can point your laser wherever you can and ask have your cat to move faster, which will be one of the best exercises for your cat. But be sure that only your cat catches the beam and not her eyes. Be alert not to point the beam into the cat's eyes directly.
Alternatively, you can also give a wand to your cat. Nowadays we get flexible toys which are of a wand-style. It has a feather or a mouse or other diversion at the far end. An interactive play session with your cat will be a good exercise for it and fun for you.
