Where possible access should be available to the outside environment. A cats natural instinct is to roam, explore and hunt. Obviously there are a wealth of things to keep a cat entertained in such an environment.
Spend time with your cat. Talk to it, pet it and play with it. Quality time for you both!
Get your cat to socialize with other people, new faces and smells are interesting !
Get another cat. Although it is better to do this when a kitten, older cats can be introduced, but make sure they are compatible.
A radio or TV left on will make the cat feel that it is not alone. Of course, safety issues should also be considered when leaving on electrical appliances for long periods. So use some common sense here!
How about a fishy friend ! Fish tanks and goldfish bowls can give a cat hours of fun. Just make sure you have a secure lid !!
A bird feeder in view from a window encourages instinctive cat behaviour, Enough said!
Let your cat explore. Get some cat furniture or a cheaper option, some cardboard boxes or maybe both. Variety is the spice of life. This rule applies to your cat as much as you. Cut holes in the boxes, put in some treats and toys. Have some fun with this and so will your cat.
Food hunt. Hide treats around the house. Loads of fun for kitty !
Toys. Home made or shop bought these are great ways to stimulate your cats and helps to keep them fit. Always make sure the toy cannot be swallowed.
