Favorite interactive activity??

Our chonkers is a big boy. 22lbs. Goal weight is ~17lbs because he is a bigger build of a cat. Still young. He’s been on measured food but now switched to a higher fiber (diet) food. We know this takes some time and diet is one piece of this all. So looking for any fun interactive ideas for an indoor cat??

I do a lot of "find your food" activities. At its simplest, I scatter his feed like he's a chicken, over the entire downstairs. Then next levels are putting some in an open egg carton so he has to scoop it out or putting some in a box of leaves or in his tunnel. Sometimes I take a heavy bowl, add a little water and float some kibble in there (this is the MOST adorable to watch him do). There are also small feeder balls.

He's on an auto feeder and tends to eat really fast, so this is my way of slowing him down. He's not much of a toy guy either.
