The silliest thing I do with my newfie is leave out a disgusting, smelly T-shirt for her to curl up with while I'm at work. Apparently, she misses me and it beats picking up the hamper day after day (or cleaning drool out of my hiking boots).
Back in Illinois, I used to practice "kitty bowling". Ice up a 100' section of lawn, and pitch the cat underhand down the lane. See how far you can get before the cat gets enough traction to get off the ice. Believe it or not, the cat used to come back for more.
