How big is your flat? We had 55qm (in total) spread across 2 rooms, it was easily manageable with two cats, just make sure to choose the right one.
Ryu was a mall cat. He served his time next to tables. It took us 6-8 month to teach him stop pestering us, and even now sometimes his instinct kicks in.
Without Ryu we had to invest 1-2 hours a day into play time. Now its down to 15-30 minutes.
You may want to hit the pet store and grab a bunch of things, since it's hard to predict. Small mice like furry toys they can grab in their mouths are often popular. Hide them around your place. Maybe a tracks toy (ball in circular track to bat around), or a feather teaser at the end of a wand and string. Chew sticks are good too. A simple length of string is hard to beat, though that requires more human interaction.
Haha same with mine! And as soon as I pull something out of the fridge wrapped in aluminum foil she looks at me like "Well? We're waiting."

I've tried lots of other toys and the ones I listed are the only ones my kitty will even pay attention to. She especially loves the springs and "fun tubes". A prior cat I had really loved the Da Bird, my latest kitten she will play with it some but is far more obsessed with the springs and fun tube. She wants me to throw both springs and fun tubes and then she'll even pick them up and return them to me so I can throw them again. But man it can get tiresome when she wants 2+ hours of play time, a 2nd cat would really help with that but I can't really afford it as I get a specific breed to help with allergies (Devon Rex).
Oh with the Springs, sometimes I will take a file to the two ends if I feel they are a bit too sharp just to smooth it out a little.
Good guess. He's 3 months old. I'm home alone today with both cats, so I'm trying to spend time with both of them.
If I may, this is a recent photo of Chloe:
Weltall Zero Remember that lumpy gross thing the aforementioned Chloe had in the corner of her mouth? It looks like it's subsided significantly, to the point where it's barely visible. So relieved, though still confused. And even though her appetite had dropped off a little, it seems it's back in full force now, nagging continually for either food or laptime lol
Thank you! We really didn't notice until the last few days when my wife exclaimed it was definitely smaller. And got a good look at it this morning when she was meowing at us to be let into the shower :D

I know they're not exactly the same angle etc., but you can see the difference here (spoilered, even though it's not that gross):
Left is 21st June, right is four days ago. So... 6 weeks?
Bonus, Chloe playing in the shower with a hair elastic. She loves (or hates) them for some reason:
With her huge eyes, she almost looks like she's only a kitten, despite being almost 16.

I'm definitely happy that the fur is growing back too, or at least the sore only stretched the skin and it's returned back to it's original size. Either way, it's no longer distracting (and heartbreaking) to look at her now. My wife is over the moon :)
Yup! Mind you, the way she's standing makes her look a little stockier than normal. She underwent a huge bout of weight loss a few years ago for some reason but it doesn't seem to have affected her at all. Thought we'd lose her when that happened but she's still kicking (particularly when she's sitting on our laps and dreaming, it's so adorable!). I've only been with my wife (hence, only known these kitties) for 5 years but I'm 100% smitten with them.
Apologies for quoting myself, got kinda buried.
