It doesn't take much to keep a cat engaged. A small toy, a wand, or cat tower typically does the trick. For Dragon the Siberian Forest kitten, playing a game of peek-a-boo is the best way to pass the time—and he plays to win. If it were up to him, he'd do it all day!
The TikTok video shared by @dragon.tiger818 gives a peek into the intense competition between Dragon and his dad and the results are everything. Check them out!
In the 13-second clip, Dragon hides behind a door with just part of him sticking out as Dad leans into view. The feisty kitty hops forward to give Dad a little tap, which is code for "I got you!"
The game continues with this back-and-forth, saying they tried to get the kitty to play other games, but, "he still has the most fun with peek-a-boo and would run behind the door and meow at you signaling it's time to play!"
Dragon loves this game and some of his 13,000 followers are just glad to witness it.
"I volunteer as tribute to play with the baby," one person wrote. "How precious," another added. "He's adorable," another noted.
Clearly, this kitty knows how to play the game to his advantage, so Dad should participate at his own risk!

Ways To Keep Your Indoor Cat Entertained
Cats are naturally curious creatures, which works in your favor if you're trying to bond with them or even if you'd like them to entertain themselves. The Animal Humane Society says with a few solid enrichment activities , you can quell kitty boredom and show them why you're their favorite human in the entire world.
Puzzle feeders and interactive toys are a great segue into the world of playing because these items stimulate their hunting instincts, which are vital. Also, using cat towers and other vertical climbing toys offers a sense of comfort while allowing them to claim their territory.
Window perches and "catios"—built into the outside from a window or door—are good options to tickle their senses without your help, while DIY dispensers and toys also help keep them entertained . You can also play hide-and-seek like Dragon or simply hide treats around the house for them to discover.
Above all else, schedule dedicated interactive playtime with your kitty. Your time spent playing together helps their mental and emotional well-being while also giving them a little exercise. It's a win-win for everyone!
