I decided to write up a Day 3 since I thought these ideas are so fun! (I don't care about it being exactly 1 per day-- this is for fun anyway)
::Challenge Day #3::
Let's work on fetching a ball! By fetch I mean, throwing the ball and the pet will bring it back to its owner's hand.
Both dogz and catz can be good at fetch-- but it might come more naturally the dogz. Don't get discouraged though if you have a cat! Try rewarding the cat through petting and treats when they pick up the ball. Usually they will just play with it themselves, and that's okay! You can reward the behavior if you want to, and work your way up to picking up the ball.
If your pet already plays fetch really well, throw the ball to see if maybe they can improve their coordination or catch the ball mid-air.
Try to get at least 3 to 5 good fetches in (or if your pet isn't interested, just some ball interactions are fine!).
Have fun and post your pics below~!

Finally caught up with this challenge!! Since I've only "truly" introduced one cat to y'all so far, it only seems right I try and learn a little more about Number 9 by doing these. Sorry for being so late to the party!
First up, Challenge 1!
I've found that Number 9 seems to be very food motivated. They're not picky at all when it comes to treats, but I still stuck with classic fish treats just to keep things simple! It was a little tough for them to get across the screen since their legs kept taking them downwards towards the bottom edge, but a little extra beckoning with treats and pets seemed to do the trick! Next, Challenge 2! Number 9 is unfortunately not a trickster cat by any means. However... that doesn't mean he can't learn to sit! It was actually very easy to encourage him to sit on command, he loves the sound of the camera and always wants to either pose or sit for it! And now, for Challenge 3... have I ever mentioned Number 9 surprisingly shows potential to be a mouser? Even though he wants to walk towards the edge of the screen, he LOVES to leap and catch things. He also seems at least a little interested in fetch... I think! At first, he was more interested in playing and batting at it after getting out of his mindless wandering cycle, but then he actually managed to pick it up and bring it to me! Even nudging it towards my hand afterwards, what a smart little zombie!

Challenge 4!! A very wholesome challenge, I'd say. Number 9 LOVES the brush! Although he isn't able to show it through expressions, he was super purry throughout the whole session.

I guess I did Day 3 & Day 4 -- Fetch and a little bit of brushing :)
Bowie mostly just stared at the ball. Bowie was terrible at fetch, but he got lots of brushing when he picked up the ball.
Kelsey was amazing!
Rusty is also the best at fetch ever!
Jojo had like no interest in most toyz I wanted her to interact with. She loves the water bowl tho.
I'm sad because she'd make such a great flyball cat-- (here she just randomly picked up that ball and then jumped thru the hoop)
Murasaki was great at fetch. And also making great faces--

Awww <3 They are all so cute! Loving these! Thank you guys for participating!
::Challenge Day #5::
Today we're going to play find the treats! I recommend only playing with petz who are on the skinny side. Or plan to exercise your pet well after playing to burn off some treats XD
Make sure all petz are put away. Grab a few different treats. Then start hiding them around different playscenes. Hide them by toys, behind toys, and around different spots in the room. You can even hide them up high, but you'll have to get them down if they are too high when your pet looks at them.
Once your rooms are set, bring your pet out and go on a treat finding adventure! If you want to do it with all of your petz at the same time, that works too (they also eat less treats that way).
Have fun with it! This is a game I love playing with my petz!

This was so much fun! Here's my Day 5 :) I've never tried this before in my entire petz life~! First, the set up-- I hid 10 treats of various flavors around :) (except love treats because I didn't want surprise babyz)I decided to use my catz today: Apollo, Aphro, Murasaki, Snowberry, and Bowie I wanted to just use HB because I felt like playing with them, but Bowie snuck in ;) Catz are so funny because its like a wave of sharks about to attack Snowberry! First time doing this, and so much fun! <3
