I play "motorcycle" with my cats. I played it with my old cat Cheetah (until he died when I was a freshman in college), and now I play it with Mittens (who is just shy of 2).

Basically, plop the cat on it's "butt" (lower back with tail coming under), and turn them to face you. Grab the front legs and hold onto them. Then start making motorcycle sounds and leaning them into turns and stuff. Get louder, change gears, wheelies (lean them backwards), etc. They love it more than me.


I also play "drumset", which involves the same position, but facing away from me. Use the front paws as the sticks, with the feet and belly being the various percussive instruments. Beatbox your own drumkit sound, or play along with the radio. They don't like this one so much...


I also feed all cats earwax. For some reason they love the stuff. I found this out when Cheetah woke me up one night, basically performing cunnilingus on my ear. Wow, just wow.
