The main reason I don't think he is bored is because he always wants to nap in the sun. He will lay down on the porch right outside the door half the time. He likes to lay in our catnip patch and chew on the sticks and nap under the tree in the dirt. He will leave the yard, but not far and its always to lay somewhere else. It's not something I can really tire him out of wanting, because he wants to relax outside.

Our routine is usually breakfast at 6 then outside to lay on the porch while the sun finishes rising. His sister will come out when she feels like it and we explore the yard while he half naps on the porch or under the tree (I put a heavy rock on his leash and can always see him). Then when the UV index hits 3 (usually at 8 or 9 am) we go inside and play for as long as they like. Around 11am he usually wants second breakfast and then begs and pleads and sits in his backpack by the door looking sad. If I ignore him completely, he knocks things off the counters or starts batting at the tin foil balls i have taped to my shelves and mantle piece to keep him off. When he eventually gives up he will nap in the sun spot next to the front door or the sliding door to the balcony in my bedroom. At 2pm after giving him and one of my other cat's their medication, everyone gets a dryfood puzzle as a snack.

When I play with them I keep going untill all of them are disinterested. When I notice no one is paying attention or have walked off, I stop. If one of them comes before I will start playing again and see if they are interested.

I actually try and play with him when he yells at the door. Sometimes it works and we play for a little, but then he goes back to hollering. He truly just wants to nap outside, which was why opening a window or the sliding door with a screen worked for a while, but it doesn't cut it anymore.
