How do you keep your cats/dogs entertained?

I worry about this a bit, since I'm gone from the house most of the day. Oh, I know they sleep most of the time. But I worry about pet owners who just leave their animals without toys or new things to be interested in.

I recently talked to a friend who complained that her dogs made mud pies in their water dishes. I suggested they were bored (they're in a dog run all day) and she provide toys or ramps or something for them, and she just dismissed that as a stupid idea.

I like to build box structures so cats can play hide and seek in them.

They also like it when I put a food dish in an unexpected place. They can "hunt" for it.
