A 10-minute hunt in five phases. Sound stays soft: rustles, chirps, low strings and a purr bed. Put the screen at your cat's eye level.
Catch break
Let your cat win the hunt
The prey got away on screen. Toss a treat or drag a wand toy across the floor now, so the chase ends in a real catch.

The formula in this build
Low-light canvas, glowing prey
Twilight blue, forest green and charcoal stay dim. Only the prey is bright, outlined in cyan or green, which cats see best. Dappled light, drifting shadows, dust motes and leaves add depth.
Stalk and pounce
Prey freezes, twitches and crawls behind grass most of the time, then bursts across the screen in a fraction of a second. Paths are horizontal or diagonal, with bursts biased bottom to top. Nothing moves toward or away from the camera.
Soft, organic sound
Dry-leaf rustles, paper scratches and bird chitters are synthesized live. Underneath: slow low strings, harp plucks and a purr bed that grows during the cool down. No music with vocals or brass.
