I have a cat and I'm worried she's getting bored. What can I do to keep her entertained?<|im_end|>

Cats need mental and physical stimulation. You can try providing puzzle toys filled with treats or creating a climbing structure for her to explore.<|im_end|>

That sounds great. What about dogs? My friend has a dog that's always digging in the backyard.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Dogs often dig due to boredom or excess energy. You can suggest to your friend to provide her dog with more exercise, such as longer walks or playtime, and engage her in activities like agility training or scent work.<|im_end|>

Okay, I'll pass that on. Do you have any general tips for pet owners to keep their pets happy and engaged?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, one key tip is to rotate toys regularly to keep things interesting for your pet. You can also try hiding treats or toys around the house to encourage searching and problem-solving.<|im_end|>
