In an attempt to find new enrichment ideas for her feline friends, the owner worked out how to reuse bottle caps and keep her cats entertained at the same time.

"Day one of trying new enrichment ideas with my cats", she explained, as she shared the clip to TikTok.

Her tuxedo cats Sake and Sushi are clearly thrilled by her new invention, immediately jumping in to try out their new game.

DIY enrichment ideas

The owner has simply filled a tray with water, filled bottle caps with treats, and floated them on the top. 

Simple and effective, the cats then have to fish around to catch the bottle caps, before they can remove them to take their treats. 

The money-saving enrichment idea is a brilliant way of recycling single use plastic, while also being quick and easy to put together.

Natural foraging instincts

The clip, which has now been viewed over 500,000 times, had cat lovers intrigued by the idea. 

"Could this stress them out? I want to try it with my cat", asked a viewer. 

"All cats are different but it’s their instincts to forage for food so it’s great enrichment for natural behaviours", explained another.
