Got two kittens myself. 7 month and 5 month. I try to have two play sessions of 15 minutes each by themselves a day.
Everyone else?

Honestly don't know how you guys do it. My two very young kittens are already losing interest in the various wand toys I have.. And they have pretty much no interest in stationary toys like toy mice or larger toys.I play with my 1 year old girl about 30 mins-1 hour in the morning. I wake up early to make sure I have time to play before work. I’ll try to play with her again in the middle of the day for another hour and we always play for up to 2 hours before bed. So I guess I try to play at least 2.5 hours a day. She’s an only cat and also a very social and active young Siamese so she needs lots of stimulation. She wishes we would play more than that too.
I like to think of playing with cats as a bit of an art. I agree with Jackson Galaxy that you can’t, for example, just wave the wand toy- you have to “become” the toy. I have found that often times cats have no interest in a toy until I make it interesting for them.Honestly don't know how you guys do it.

That is too funny! "Become the toy" I find myself trying to chirrup just like them, or when they do an awesome mid air catch I will give belly rubs and they seem to love that..Lots of high pitched and happy excited tonesI like to think of playing with cats as a bit of an art.

LOL! you are totally right I think cats do a fine job training their humans..Mine have trained me quite well to know what sounds mean whatWe play with ours when we are told to play.....which can be once to three times per day. We are also well trained.
